Hi all. I've got a patch to propose there : http://www.ambre.net/crossfire/patch_vpath It basically do 2 things : 1) I modify the makefiles so it is possible to compile crossfire outside the source tree (I hate to have the .o on my source tree ;oD ) 2) I modify the way logfile is handled. On my computers the logs where always empty. So I just removed logfile, and made that stderr is redirected to the logfile in Daemon mode. Then I made stderr unbuffered and changed all the print to logfile to print to stderr. -- Benjamin `Quisar' Lerman quisar at quisar.ambre.net http://www.ambre.net/quisar "Si les yeux pouvaient tuer et enfanter, les rues seraient pleines de cadavres et de femmes grosses."
