The scripts ./fcser and ./fcgui wrap freeciv-server and freeciv-<gui> in a way that allows them to run from the build directory (this is mainly about setting FREECIV_DATA_PATH correctly). You would also want to configure with --enable-debug for that client spawning server from the build directory to work (client from regular build is more concerned about executing binaries from "wrong" place even if they are named like i-am-not-an-security-attack) - ML _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
