Pre-Requisites
- A computer running a variant of *nix to compile and host the server
- if the server is meant to be a public internet server: an internet connection (note, that as of 05/2008, the server code basically boils down to a packet multiplexer, which may thus create considerable amounts of traffic; this ought to be taken into consideration due to bandwidth limitations in most hosting packages)
- a working GNU toolchain including gcc (compiler), gmake & ranlib
- fgms source code, see: http://fgms.sourceforge.net and http://sourceforge.net/projects/fgms
Getting fgms
- download the latest stable version via http://fgms.sourceforge.net/stableversion.php / http://fgms.sourceforge.net/download.php, follow the instructions
(As of 05/2008, the latest stable version is still available via http://www.o-schroeder.de/fg_server/fgms-0.9.11.tar.gz)
