  • Magicka support for Windows

    From Nighthawk@21:1/146.1 to Apam on Wed Feb 14 10:41:42 2018
    Hello Apam,

    What are your plans for compiling Magicka for Windows? I am asking you this because I am setting up my Frontdoor-based system in a Windows XP box, I am going to use Mystic with it, but I would happily switch for Magicka if I
    could run it into Windows...

    No plans for native windows support sorry, however it does work in that
    "Ubuntu on windows" thing you can get from the microsoft store program.

    I've got an install on my windows 10 desktop (That's currently in peices
    in the closet until I have time to figure out where to put it and how to
    back up the data on the main HDD so I can re install windows) and it
    worked perfectly on the ubuntu on windows... I just couldn't believe it.

    That won't run under Windows XP, but thanks... I'll keep with Mystic and give it a try to Ezycom later on.

    It does, but ENiGMA does not support JAM messagebase... as I am going to use Frontdoor...

    I upgraded to 0.9-patch and it fixed my issue with point packets. However,
    I have tried the make clean / make www combo a few times but the web server
    no longer starts when I start magicka. The telnet and SSH seem to start
    fine, and I get no error messages when starting... also got no fatal
    errors, that I could tell, during the make www.

    Thanks!

    I don't think this is your issue, but you should do make cleanwww rather
    than just make clean when you're cleaning after make www. It cleans out
    the www binaries as well.

    I'm not sure what the www issue is, have you got all the www related
    settings set? I know I added one that's required at some point, I just
    can't remember when. (WWW URL is newish)

    Enable WWW = true
    WWW Port = 8080
    WWW URL = http://yourhost:8080/

    also make sure in the paths you have:

    WWW Path = /home/andrew/MagickaBBS/www

    OK did that!

    WWW Path = /home/andrew/MagickaBBS/www

    OK, the WWW URL was missing from my config. Not sure if that was it, or
    if it was the make cleanwww but, if you are reading this, one of them
    worked! :)

    Thanks, apam!
