[crossfire] CRE (no luck building successfully)

Indeed, I should have mentioned that earlier, sorry.

The precise section is:

                    LOG(llevError, "Initial map %s can't be found! Please 
ensure maps are correctly installed.\n", first_map_path);
                    LOG(llevError, "Unable to continue without initial map.
\n");
                    abort();


So there is an issue with the installation or the build :)



To correctly use CRE, you need to build it from a correctly ./configure'd and 
installed Crossfire server source, with the correct --prefix line, the same as 
used for installation.
As a quick check, if you can run the server built from those sources, it 
should be ok.

CRE uses the same installed files than the server itself.


Note that at first run it will ask for a cache directory that you must choose 
to be able to use it, then it will parse the maps to collect archetype use, 
exits relationships and various information.
Parsing is done in the background, and you can close the application during 
that - though it may lag a few seconds while saving data collected up to this 
point.


Hope this helps.
