TomeNET MIPS binary..

[ezdagor]

I've noticed there is a TOME binary for the MIPS architecture... anyone know if there is one for TomeNET?

Much appreciated,

Nope. But you should have no trouble building it from source. Just disable the irrelevant stuff (like: probably X11) in the make file.

I was running tomenet on one of these for a long time. On the other hand, if you're looking for a windows CE binary, that might be more difficult to get up and running.

Well.. I compiled the server, and upon initialization of tomenet.server, I get the following..
[snip]
./tomenet.server: Create TCP socket on port 18348...
./tomenet.server: Set Non-Blocking...
ioctl FIONBIO failed in socklib.c line 945: Invalid argument
./tomenet.server: Can't make contact socket non-blocking
./tomenet.server: Couldn't set SO_LINGER on the socket
./tomenet.server: Couldn't set SO_LINGER on the console socket
ioctl FIONBIO failed in socklib.c line 945: Invalid argument
./tomenet.server: Can't make GM socket non-blocking
[snip]

So... I am unable to connect to the local server.. Anyone know what's going on?

TIA,

Well, if you're ready to poke around in the source code, there are a couple of things you could try. Setting the sockets non-blocking is very important, setting SO_LINGER not so much.

I don't know why the FIONBIO iotctl is failing on your system, but you could try using one of the alternative methods for making a socket non-blocking.

Line 894 in src/common/net-unix.c says:

Code: Select all

#ifndef USE_FCNTL_O_NONBLOCK

What you need to do is put this before that line:

Code: Select all

#define USE_FCNTL_O_NONBLOCK

This will enable the code that uses the O_NONBLOCK flag together with the fcntl function. This is the standardized POSIX way of making sockets non-blocking so hopefully it should work.

Even if the above fixes the sockets, I can't guarantee that the server is going to work. I have never tried running the server on a MIPS system.
