for a lack of somewhere better to put this i will go for it here. I have just started making my own MMORPG engine on which to build a game I have in mind if it ever gets that far. after a couple of false starts in finding libraries that suit my skil level i have some down to using enet for my networking, now its all working nicely but i cant get it to like properly on my FreeBSD testing box as im planning to use this OS to run my server off if it ever gets that far. so far I have it compiling on windows (its all cross platform so far :)) so i know the code itself is working so I'm presuming its an error in my Makefile this is the make file I'm attempting to use. all the other librarys are linking properly and i have made sure that libenet.a is in the /usr/local/lib folder so im a bit stummped code: CFLAGS=-I /usr/local/include/mysql/ -I /usr/local/include/mysql++/ -I /usr/local/include/ LFLAGS=-L /usr/local/lib/ -l boost_thread-gcc42-mt -l boost_system-gcc42-mt -l mysqlpp -l enet server: chat.o user.o main.o $(CC) $(LFLAGS) chat.o user.o main.o -o server chat.o: chat.h main.o: user.h chat.h clean: rm -f main.o chat.o user.o any suggestions are welcome and ill try them at least once :) thanks in advance.

I'm not sure about this one but isn't LFLAGS supposed to be LDFLAGS?

PS. Remember to post any error messages you get.

LFLAGS is a macro I made up not knowing one to use that was already made so that's fine and works properly.

the errors are as follows from the linking.

cc -L /usr/local/lib/ -l boost_thread-gcc42-mt -l boost_system-gcc42-mt -l mysqlpp -l enet chat.o user.o main.o -o server

*** Error code 1

tried with and without and no luck :(

any other ideas?

no change :( with that.

i tried reinstalling enet in case something went wrong but that didn't help either (used ports rather than just the source dl).

this is getting rather frustrating...

it seems like there is another library I must need but I have no idea what :S

ecit: apparently -lenet needs to be the last thing on the comandline...

thanks for the help guys
