Linux : Compiling howto Mangos

Stats Scanner · (#1 (**permalink**))

Some basic first time only steps :

Code:

sudo apt-get install subversion dpkg-dev make autoconf libstdc++-dev libstdc++ g++ libc6-dev gcc

this will get and install subversion along with the other packages. remember you might need more packages.

Code:

cd ~
mkdir code
mkdir raw
mkdir compiled

I make separate dirs for code and compiled mangos. once I'm satisfied I move the compiled binaries then they get moved to production environment.

Steps you need to perform every time :

Code:

svn checkout https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mangos/trunk ~/raw

Retrieve the latest updates from mangos svn.

Code:

cd ~/raw

Code:

./configure --prefix=~/code/compiled --with-python --enable-cli --sysconfdir=~/code/compiled/etc --datadir=~/code/compiled/data

the above does NOT include remote admin but does include command line interface since we are using Linux which provides us with SSH and screen so we can admin the server just like we were on the console no matter where we are as long as we configure SSH

also fix the paths for your user if you so desire.

Code:

make

just type that and wait for it to finish. feel free to go get some coffee.

Code:

make install

type that once make is done and wait for this to finish. finished your coffee i see o.O

Code:

cd ../compiled

go into the compiled folder and take a look at your handy work. you can move it from here to whereever you want now or package it up and share with others on the mangos site

I will be posting a tutorials soon that includes scriptdev.

if you get errors like

Code:

error while loading shared libraries: libZThread-2.3.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

and you are too lazy to search for the answer... do the following :

Code:

ln -vs /path to mangos/lib/* /usr/local/lib
ln -vs /path to mangos/lib/* /usr/lib
ln -vs /path to mangos/lib/* /usr/bin/

Hi if I use this: svn checkout https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mangos/trunk ~/raw

After this finished some file is missing...

Eg: configure, makefile.in from every folder?

Do you know why?

mangos is going through cleanups and compiling broken, check the revision logs at : http://wow.kpsforum.com:81/mangos_revisions.xml
