Can someone make a server for me, I cannot make a server because I am on a Mac. I would like it names "Zapple's Home Turf" I do NOT care if I cant be admin. I just want a place that I can call me own. You can e-mail me ( [email protected] ) or Instent Message me,

to configure the settings. I would greatly appreciate it if SOMEONE would help. Thanks,

Zapple's Server
If you know how to use gmake, you can build a dedicated server without the normally required libraries (SDL, SDL image, etc.).
Your first step would be to download the armagetron-dedicated server source code from armagetron.sourceforge.net
After you unzip it and untar it, you'll have to run these commands in the armagetron directory:
./configure --disable-glout
gmake install
The disable command tells autoconf to ignore dependency checks because you are building a server. If this doesn't work for you, I may just build you the binaries and send them to you. Let me know either way.

Yes
I am Mac OSX Panther, And I have looked at the site many times, It ahs nothing to help me with making a deticated server. What is gmake, and what do you mean
What are binarys?Build you the binarys and send them to you
Re: Yes
I now understand why you would feel the site cannot help you. However, let me explain how it could have. The Mac OS X operating system is a "pimped out" version of FreeBSD. This means that you can open a console or prompt in Panther and be able to compile source code (make programs), in this case, armagetron-dedicated server.Zapple wrote:I am Mac OSX Panther, And I have looked at the site many times, It ahs nothing to help me with making a deticated server.
The website I provided you gave you the chance to download the source code for the game and compile (build) it yourself. You would have clicked on the linux link. Although you don't have linux, source code for this game is easily modifiable for Mac OS X. You only have to change one file, the configure script. The primary problems you would experience without any modification of configure would be that any Makefile you created would most likely not find specific dependency libraries. It would have been necessary for you to delete the configure file and build a new one on your system. Then it would be system specific, in this case, for Mac OS X.
However, given this comment:
"GNU Make is a tool which controls the generation of executables and other non-source files of a program from the program's source files."What is gmake, and what do you mean
http://www.gnu.org/software/make/make.html
It's ok that you've never used it before. It was just a suggestion. GNU Make is more loyal to the C and C++ standards compared to the usual "Make" that comes with *nix systems. In the 1990s (although I'm not sure of the exact year off the top of my head) C++ went through some changes, it became more standardized (supposedly). GNU accounted for those changes. So, that is why when you compile older C++ source code using gmake, you'll see messages about depreciated code. Of course, this means nothing to you, since you don't program in a *nix environment.
Binaries is simply a *nix term for programs. Lastly, I use the term *nix because it's easier than saying linux or unix.Build you the binarys and send them to you. What are binarys?
Sorry
I'm sorry guys, I am not to good with computer terms. Can someone walk me thorugh step by step or just make a server for me? If you make one for mit can be called Zapple's Home Turf
