Just for reference, for those who aren't familiar with source code and
compiling in general, the actual command to get the source is:
git clone https://github.com/Seifert69/DikuMUD3
which will clone the source into a directory named DikuMUD3
The rest of the instructions are essentially correct, though (currently)
compiling failes due to some missing header files. I've not dug into the
cause of this, but it's likely your compile will fail very shortly after
launching the make all command.
Sometimes, this is as simple as changing the case of a file (depending
on the development environment, sometimes files aren't case sensitive on
the development machine but are on the linux system), but other times,
it takes the developers to solve the problem, and of course, there's a
whole host of other reasons, but just know that out of the box, these
instructions won't work as advertised, so don't think you did something
wrong if you get the errors about missing .hpp files.
I'm not a big fan of Diku style muds in general, and I've never logged
into a diku3 mud as far as I know, but muds in general can be a lot of
fun, and although my raspberry pi pages seem to have lost the version of
abermud I had posted there, they don't have 64-bit versions of software,
since everything was compiled on a pi2 with a 32-bit version of
raspbian, so I need to do some work on my raspberry pages too, since
I've recently discovered 64-bit ubuntu won't run 32-bit raspbian
executables. *grin*

the Owner operator of Valhalla MUD since the early 90's . Some of the
original coders from Denmark came back and we all made a deal to open source
the game. It is now listed on github as DikuMUD3. I had nothing to do
with the original Diku mud but I got into it at DikuII. Anyway. We open
sourced all three and you can now run a full mud and play it from the
Raspberry pi. I still need to push a change to the make file because it has
-m64 to take advantage of a 64 bit machine it is running on. Of course if
your running a 64 bit OS on the RPI you can get it and not even change
anything. If you want to run your own mud though just use
Git https://github.com/Seifert69/DikuMUD3
Cd into DikuMUD3/vme/src
Do make
Wait a while
Then you can read the docs and learn to run it. Note you can run a mud and
run the tintin++ client all from on the Raspberry PI 400 and that means you
can run it and play it all by yourself with no network. Of course a MUD is
no fun if your not online running it with everyone of your friends logged
in. To get the client on the raspberry pi do:
Sudo apt-get install tintin++
If you have any questions just ask. I can help you get it running. There
are some environment variables you have to set to get it running and some
server.cfg files to edit.
