Compile MaNGOS On Linux

To begin, You must install the following: (Enables you to compile MaNGOS)

• GCC 4.1.X ( gcc / g++ / cpp / fort77 / g77 / gpp)
• automake
• autoconf
• glibc & glibc-dev(glibc headers) [ libc6 ]
• make
• mysql-server 4.1 ou mysql-server 5.0 && libmysql++-dev
• libtool
• OpenSSL (libssl-dev)
• subversion et patch
• git
• zlibc

You are able to do this using the Terminal:

apt-get install gcc g++ automake autoconf make libmysql++-dev libtool libssl-dev subversion patch zlibc libc6 git git-core cogito

Ubuntu users also can also use the following:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libmysql++-dev libtool libssl-dev subversion zlibc git-core

To use git and not use gitfm, you must use this:

update-alternatives --config git

You must enter the digit which match with:

/usr/bin/git-scm

You must download the files from the git repository, git will create your mangos sources directory for you:

git clone git://github.com/mangos/mangos.git

Now we change to the MaNGOS directory:

cd mangos

We now download and patch ScriptDev2, so lets make a directory:

mkdir src/bindings/ScriptDev2

And now use their svn to pull the latest ScriptDev2 revision:

svn co https://scriptdev2.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/scriptdev2/src/bindings/ScriptDev2

Now we need to patch SD2 (ScriptDev2) into mangos. (This makes it compile with MaNGOS)

git apply src/bindings/ScriptDev2/patches/MaNGOS-XXXX-ScriptDev2.patch

After the patch has been successful applied to mangos, we compile it, run these in Terminal one after the other:

• autoreconf --install --force
• mkdir objdir
• cd objdir
• ../configure --prefix=/opt/mangos --sysconfdir=/opt/mangos/etc --enable-cli --enable-ra --datadir=/opt/mangos
• make
• make install
• make clean
• cd ..
• rm -r objdir

You can replace:

../configure --prefix=/opt/mangos --sysconfdir=/opt/mangos/etc --enable-cli --enable-ra --datadir=/opt/mangos With: ../configure --prefix=[working path] --sysconfdir=[working path]/etc --enable-cli --enable-ra --datadir=[working path] with your [working path]

For example:

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

Once you have run make install, the above code will have caused it to be place the binaries in "/opt/foo/" and the server needs to be ran from the bin folder.
