5.0.0.8 Code Changes?

[Freakyuno]

Not sure what exactly was changed from 5...7 to 5...8 beta, besides the packet size changes in the everquest.h file but on Mandrake 10 Community, 5...8 from CVS will not install.

It errors out with the no backup error during make -f Makefile.dist

I searched through the forums and found several references to this, but nothing pinning it down.

By either getting the tar or the CVS version of 5.0.0.7 and manually changing the everquest.h file with Codepigs fix, it compiles just fine.

If make -f Makefile.dist uses conf.h.in (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/seq/showeq/conf.h.in?r1=1.6.16.1&r2=1.6.16.2&sortby=date&only_with_tag=pre_5_0_beta), then I imagine one of the many lines that were added last patch is the culprit. I can't be of much more help than that: lack of knowledge.

Want to get around the backup, seems that if you do:

touch .no-backup
make -f Makefile.dist

if will skip the step...

Amazing what you can find when you read the Makefiles, heheh.
