Tried compiling tinymud2 today. This went OK until it reached the file
interface.c when I got the error:
gcc -O -DGOD_PRIV -DCOMPRESS -DQUIET_WHISPER -DGENDER -DHOST_NAME \
-DCONNECT_MESSAGES -DPLAYER_LIST -DDETACH -DROBOT_MODE -DRECYCLE \
-DTINKER -DNOFAKES -c interface.c
interface.c: In function file_date:
interface.c:1106: conflicting types for `file_date'
interface.c:139: previous declaration of `file_date'
interface.c: In function file_date:
interface.c:1116: warning: argument passing between incompatible pointer types
*** Error code 1
Stop.
I'm not too hot on ANSI C so haven't been able to work this out. Any help would
be much appreciated.

One line says char *, one says const char * - change one or the other. I made line 139 declare the 2nd arg as const char *. I have it up and running so let me know if U have any more problems.
