Hi all, i know this is my 1st post and all but i tried working it out for myself and could not make head nor tails of it.
I play a game called Astonia, which the original creator of the game has abandoned and released the code for it, i would like to start a server for it so i can learn a little about coding and building on a game. But in order to do this i have to compile the game in C++ which i have no idea about where to start. the game compiles in Linux and played through Windows.
Building the server source code is not a problem because it comes with a Makefile. You'd just extract the archive to a directory, enter the directory and type 'make.' (Assuming you have gcc correctly installed and configured)
The client code also has a makefile but seems it's for Borland bcc not gcc.
