MOSS builds on Ubuntu 20.04, with the following caveats:
Note: Any modifications that I made to get things to work are not necessarily the "correct" ones. I am not a C expert, and so YMMV.
1. Compile error in Logger.h.
Code: Select all
make all-am
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/moss/moss'

g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I/usr/include/postgresql -pthread -g -O2 -MT dispatcher.o -MD -MP -MF $depbase.Tpo -c -o dispatcher.o dispatcher.cc &&\
mv -f $depbase.Tpo $depbase.Po

I changed it back, and it was happy.
The change that introduced the deprecation warning was in the same commit as above, and the developers have determined that it is safe to ignore.
3. Compile errors and deprecation warnings in db_requests.h.
Code: Select all
make all-am
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/moss/moss'

I changed all occurrences of pqxx::result::field to pqxx::field
pqxx 6.4.5 has deprecated Transactor, so expect this to become an error in the future.
For creating manifests and such, I recommend using the UruManifest utility at https://github.com/Hoikas/UruManifest. I received warnings from MOSS when I followed the SDL file location advice in the README.md file, but it is very trivial to move the SDLs into the directory structure recommended in the MOSS in-tree "setup" document if you like. MOSS still works, either way you do it. I just dislike seeing warnings and errors.

You can also use the old in-tree ManifestCreator tool to generate the manifests, but the UruManifest tool is vastly superior. The UruManifest tool also has the added advantage that it also generates manifests for the H'uru dirtsand server, so it is basically a "one stop shop" for generating manifests, no matter which server you decide to use.
Note to OU staff: You can remove my ManifestCreator tool from the MOSS tree and update the instructions to send users to UruManifest, if you want. The ManifestCreator tool was sufficient at the time, but it is written in an obscure language and will not be receiving any updates.
Happy Uru-ing!
