The interface between freeciv and freeciv-web is not very clean at the moment (going to right direction, though). Anyway, there's only some pieces for the freeciv-web functionality in freeciv sources, you cannot build fully freeciv-web capable server from plain freeciv sources. If you want to work specifically on freeciv-web, and not upstream freeciv, you should get sources from https://github.com/freeciv/freeciv-web and follow build instructions there. > This is the server for Freeciv version 2.5.99-dev > You can learn a lot about Freeciv at http://www.freeciv.org/ > This freeciv-server program has player authentication support, but it's > currently not in use. > 2: Loading rulesets. > 1: Could not find a readable "styles.ruleset" ruleset file.I'm actually > interested in contributing to the project long This particular problem is because freeciv does not contain freeciv-web compatible ruleset at all - something I'm currently evaluating. It would make sense to move its maintenance to freeciv so it would remain compatible with freeciv server, but then getting any rule changes freeciv-web needs when updating to newer freeciv revision would require extra patching in freeciv-web side and submitting those changes back to upstream freeciv. - ML _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
