I had successfully built/installed the server a few days ago into /tmp so I was going to build and install it for real this time so I did a 'darcs pull' from Quozl's repo and ran tests/build and now it dies! argh. here is the output and fatal error is at the end: zu22 at netrek:~/src/netrek-server/Vanilla$ ./tests/build # test that current working directory matches darcs get expectation if [ ! -f autogen.sh ]; then echo "build: run in wrong directory"; exit 1; fi # where to build #BUILDROOT=/tmp/netrek-server.$$ BUILDROOT=/home/zu22/bin/netrek-server.$$ # copy the repository there darcs get .. $BUILDROOT Copying patch 188 of 188... done!
