[edit] Introduction

This Tutorial shows you how to build Mangos Binaries on a Linux Machine

[edit] Requirements

For a detailed list on what you need to successfully run Mangos please have a look at Mangos Basics To compile Mangos on Linux you will need the following

• Subversion
• GCC (version 3.4 or 4 and above)
• G++ (version 3.4 or 4 and above)
• glibc/glibc-dev
• Make
• Automake (version 1.4 and above)
• Autoconf
• MySQL (version 4.1 or 5 and above)

[edit] Getting Started

First step is to create a directory where you want to have your mangos-sourcecode. This directory will be called SOURCE-directory later on. Go to the the directory of you likeings and create a directory

mkdir MANGOS-SOURCE

My advice is to create the SOURCE-directory whithin a MANGOS-directory. This will help you later on when we want to get some scripts into the source.

mkdir MANGOS
cd MAGNOS
mkdir MANGOS-SOURCE

Now we need to checkout the source from Mangos-subversion-repository. We only want the newest sources - so we'll checkout the trunk. First change to your newly created SOURCE-directory

cd MANGOS-SOURCE
svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mangos/trunk/ .

Depending on your internet connection this could take a while. Get a coke or something. Remember: If you ever want to upgrade to a newer revision you don't have to checkout the complete trunk again. Just change to the MANGOS-SOURCE-directory and type

svn up

This will only update the files, that actually changed. Saves time and money.

[edit] Configuring

Now that we have the source we have to tell make where everything is supposed to go. To to this you run something like this:

./configure --prefix=<destination directory> \
--sysconfdir=<configuration directory> \
--datadir=<datadir destination> \
--enable-cli --enable-ra \
--with-python

So maybe you're command will look something like this:

./configure --prefix=/opt/mangos --sysconfdir=/opt/mangos/etc --enable-cli --datadir=/opt/mangos

This tutorial WILL assume prefix and datadir are set to the same values and sysconfdir is the same with the "/etc"-addition.

[edit] Ready to Make

Now that you have configured the source it's time for compiling. Simply type:

make && make install

to start the process. Compiling can take quite some time.
