How to compile MaNGOS on Linux.

To begin, You must install :

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

This is for Debian based systems !

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

On Ubuntu, you can also type :

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

If you are using Gentoo, you also must type :

emerge dev-util/git

Then, on some Debian based system (except Ubuntu)

update-alternatives --config git

You must enter the digit/number which matches with :

/usr/bin/git-scm

To download the files from the git repository, git must create your mangos sources dir for you.

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

(Optional) Download and patch ScriptDev2:

git clone git://github.com/scriptdev2/scriptdev2.git src/bindings/ScriptDev2
git am src/bindings/ScriptDev2/patches/MaNGOS-11167-ScriptDev2.patch

Then, you must compile.

// for dual core support on make, make install add "-j2"
autoreconf --install --force
mkdir objdir
cd objdir
../configure --prefix=/opt/mangos --sysconfdir=/opt/mangos/etc --enable-cli --enable-ra --datadir=/opt/mangos/dat
make
make install
cd ..
rm -r objdir

You can replace ../configure --prefix=/opt/mangos --sysconfdir=/opt/mangos/etc --enable-cli --enable-ra --datadir=/opt/mangos/dat
by ../configure --prefix=[working path] --sysconfdir=[working path]/etc --enable-cli --enable-ra --datadir=[working path]/dat
with your [working path]

Good Luck
