[solved] compiling windrop help

[veblen]

hi, ive been trying to compile windrop, i want it the same as the standard precompiled version with ssl... the only difference is i want the msgrate value in /src/mod/server.mod/server.c changed from 2 to 0.

ive been tearing my hair out trying to get cygwin to work.. but im having no luck.

is there anyone that can do me a huge favour, spare a few minutes and compile it for me and .rar it on rapidshare or something?

H. Cygwin / Windows
To compile and install Eggdrop on windows, preform the steps listed
below.

ive tried following the instructions.. however i have error problems with cygwin which will not let me run through the procedures, which is why ive asked for help.

i would have done it myself otherwise.

Go to the Cygwin site; all the documentation/information you need is there.

Cygwin is not all that difficult to install. You do, however, must ensure that you follow the instructions for installing Tcl carefully; you also need to install gcc and mingw-runtime.

Might also be helpful to post actual error msgs regarding cygwin. It should install seamlessly. I would guess you don't have the devel packages installed..

i managed to get over my errors by compiling on a different system.

however i now have some more errors during the make eggdrop process

Code: Select all

any ideas?

[rosc2112]

You did configure on a different system? That would likely be the source of the problem, the errors are from configure setting the wrong options for the system you're compiling on.

[veblen]

sorry what i meant was, i switched to another system for the entire process.

im getting those errors when trying to compile with the ssl patch.

i can compile windrop fine now without ssl, which will do for the time being.

the reason i wanted to compile myself was to change the msgrate value to 0, so i can pass information through the irc server more quickly. now ive compiled it with the changed setting, there is no difference in the information delay.. ie. the bot sends 5 lines of text instantly and then there is a delay of some seconds for every 2 lines after that.

is there something in the process of compiling windrop that makes no difference as to whether this value is changed or not?

[rosc2112]

Are you using putquick?

[veblen]

yes ive tried using putquick, and also putdccraw.

ok an update on this.

ive compiled windrop a few times now.. with msgrate set to 0, 1 and 5.

with the value at 5 it passes one line to a channel every 5 seconds ok. with msgrate set at 1, putserv passes 1 line to a channel per second.

if i change this to putquick and putquick -next with msgrate set to 1, it starts to pass 2 lines to a channel every 2 seconds (with a 2 second delay).

the same happens as above (2lines and then a 2 second gap) with whatever put method i use with msgrate set to 0.

so as it seems the msgrate values are working properly, is there anything else in the file system of windrop/eggdrop that could be causing the delay?

[rosc2112]

From eggdrop1.6.18/src/mod/server.mod

Code: Select all

static void deq_msg()
{
  struct msgq *q;
  int ok = 0;

  /* now < last_time tested 'cause clock adjustments could mess it up */
  if ((now - last_time) >= msgrate || now < (last_time - 90)) {
    last_time = now;
    if (burst > 0)
      burst--;
    ok = 1;
  }

Presumably changing "now < (last_time - 90)" to a higher value would make it send more data sooner.. I'm not a C programmer and that's just my best guess.

[veblen]

surely that wont make a difference tho?

Code: Select all

if ((now - last_time) >= msgrate

as the value of msgrate is 0... so 'now - last_time' is always going to be greater than 0 anyway, so the second parameter 'now < (last_time - 90)' wont come into use.

----------

ive finally got to the bottom of the problem, its down to the ircd as to how fast the output is sent to the channel.

thanks for the help.
