Installing a local mud server on a PC

The page with download is here: https://www.genesismud.org/pages/software

I downloaded cygwin-genesis-dist.zip, and I extracted the contents into c:/Program Files

I try to run the driver, but it's complaining that it needs some cygwin DLL libraries.

I did some research, including: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cygwin, and downloaded cygwin installer from here: https://cygwin.com/install.html. I have a 64-bit windows, so I downloaded the 64-bit version.

I installed the default cygwin packages, and got another missing dll error, so I reinstall all the packages. But driver.exe still doesn't run. It says it's missing cygwin1.dll.

Anyone knows how to get around this problem?

Ah! I'm a dummy. The missing file was installed, but my PC didn't know where to look for it. :oops:

So, I went to environment variables and updated system path to include c:\cygwin\bin

Now it runs, but it looks for mudlib in /home/mud/lib. I'm trying to figure out where to change this.
