Boost errors when running wesnothd on Ubuntu

[MarisaG]

I am able to compile wesnothd with no issue, but when running it I get a boost error when it starts:

Code: Select all

2025-04-11 00:57:37 info server: Server configuration from file: '/home/USER/wesnoth/myconfig.cfg' read.
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::wrapexcept<boost::system::system_error>'
  what():  assign: Bad file descriptor [system:9 at /usr/include/boost/asio/detail/impl/reactive_descriptor_service.ipp:120 in function 'assign']
./runwesnoth-server: line 3:  7759 Aborted                 (core dumped) ./wesnothd -v -c /home/wesnothowner/wesnoth/myconfig.cfg

Any ideas what's going on?

Sounds like you configured fifo_path to point to a path that cannot be opened. The given path should either be an existing, usable fifo or not exist so the fifo can get created there.

Awesome, that pointed me in the right direction. Thanks!
