[mohaa] Solaris 8 MOHAA Dedicated Server

[Norm Dressler]

It's off topic, but sure you can put Linux/BSD on your sparc.  Try
http://www.ultralinux.org/.  It lists all the availble linux ports and
their current status (i.e. still supported or not).
 
This will still prevent you from running the MOH server though - it is
compiled for linux on an i386 processor - it would need to be recompiled
on a Sparc processor before it would work and since the source is not
open source, that won't happen any time soon.  This is the downside of
using the sparc box - you would need to get executables specific to the
chip or the source and compile it yourself.  You can also get many of
the open source tools at www.sunfreeware.com
<http://www.sunfreeware.com/> .  This would include the gcc compilers
etc., for Solaris.
 
If you have any questions, feel free to ask --

Oh well then.
 
I was afraid of that. It said linux/unix so I wasn't sure. Any other
suggestions? Can I put Linux on my SPARC box? That would be sweet. Will
any of the other game servers run on Solaris that you know of? Thanks...

Hello-
This isn't working because the MOHAA linux build will only run on Linux
(or FreeBSD with Linux emulation) on x86 architecture systems.  Sorry!

Hi all,
 
I'm not very familiar with UNIX so be gentle please.
 
Trying to set up a MOHAA dedicated server on a fresh install using
Solaris 8 on a SPARC system. After trying to start the server I got this
response. Any ideas? Thanks a lot...
