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 ou mysql-server 5.0 && libmysql++-dev
• libtool
• OpenSSL (libssl-dev)
• subversion et patch
• git
• zlibc

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

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

update-alternatives --config git

You must enter the digit which match with :

/usr/bin/git-scm

On Gentoo, you must do it :

emerge dev-util/git 

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

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

You must download and patch ScriptDev2.

mkdir src/bindings/ScriptDev2
svn co https://scriptdev2.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/scriptdev2/ src/bindings/ScriptDev2
patch -p0 < src/bindings/ScriptDev2/patches/MaNGOS-r6765-ScriptDev2.patch

Then, you must compile.

autoreconf --install --force
aclocal
autoheader
autoconf
automake --add-missing
automake src/bindings/ScriptDev2/Makefile
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
by ../configure —prefix=[working path] —sysconfdir=[working path]/etc —enable-cli —enable-ra —datadir=[working path]
with your [working path]

Good Luck
