As a quick work around, to try and get the brmh client built at least, I ran: "./mkkey foo foo foo foo foo" in my res-rsa-2.9.3 directory and it seems to have worked as it generated the rsa_box* files. The problem I'm having when trying to compile brm-2.4.0 is that it doesn't seem to know where my RSA directory lives! The brm-2.4.0 INSTALL file merely says to: "Edit Netrek.tmpl, checking and/or setting CC, CDEBUGFLAGS, _RSA. If you want to use RSA, define MP_LIB (gnu MP) and MP_INCLUDE (gnu MP)." So I went to my Netrek.tmpl and saw it had section: #define RSA_ YES /* RSA */ I then changed the MP_LIB and MP_INCLUDE statements to point to where my gmp-4.1.2 lives: #if RSA_ /* RSA paths */ MP_LIB = -L../../res-rsa/res-rsa-2.9.2/gmp-4.1.2/ -lgmp -lmp MP_INCLUDE = -I../../res-rsa/res-rsa-2.9.2/gmp-4.1.2/ /* RSA boxes -- put here because the default # of boxes might change */ RSA_BOX_SRCS = rsa_box_0.c rsa_box_1.c rsa_box_2.c \ rsa_box_3.c rsa_box_4.c RSA_BOX_OBJS = rsa_box_0.o rsa_box_1.o rsa_box_2.o \ rsa_box_3.o rsa_box_4.o #endif /* _RSA_ */ However I see no place in this Netrek.tmpl file (Is this some autoconfig file or something standard for make? I never saw these .tmpl and .info files in a source tree before) for defining where RSA directory is and thus my mkkey program and rsa_box* files !!! So of when I run 'make depend' in brm-2.4.0 it says: gcc: rsa_box.c: No such file or directory gcc: rsa_box_0.c: No such file or directory gcc: rsa_box_1.c: No such file or directory gcc: rsa_box_2.c: No such file or directory gcc: rsa_box_3.c: No such file or directory gcc: rsa_box_4.c: No such file or directory And when I run 'make' the BRMH compile fails saying: make: *** No rule to make target `rsa_box.o', needed by `netrek'. Stop. So how exactly to I tell it where my RSA directory is? The documentation for building BRMH seems rather skimpy. And the RES-RSA documemtation also had some problems. Lack of proper documentation seems to be a theme with netrek heh. Any help greatly appreciated. SDG, Zach __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
