building the forgotten server

[Stefan Jonsson]

I followed the instructions to compile theForgottenServer on my windows computer. When trying to build the project I get:

1>------ Build started: Project: theforgottenserver, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_system-vc140-mt-gd-1_62.lib'
1>Done building project "theforgottenserver.vcxproj" -- FAILED.
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

I checked the file, and it is there. Why can't Visual Studio open it?

 

[Infernum]

you sure you added boost correctly?
installed it to C:\local\boost_1_62_0 and used the batch file inside of it?
you can also manually do it by clicking forgottenserver properties under the project tab
click linker->input->additional dependencies
click the dropdown menu and add C:\local\boost_1_62_0 (or wherever you installed boost to) to it

 

[Stefan Jonsson]

I've tried running the batch file, it doesn't seem to make any difference. I tried the manual approach and now I get:

1>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'C:\local\boost_1_62_0.obj'

ofc it will not to work out, all tfs dependencies are 32bit binaries, if you just change the compilation mode to 64bit it will work

 

[Stefan Jonsson]

Aha, thanks for your help! Now it compiles. However when I run it I get:

The code execution canntot preceed because libmysql.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.

I tried reinstalling the forgotten server according to the instructions on github, but the same error dialog just reappears.

I'm guessing that this means that the other bat file didn't work either, since '[file]' belongs to tfs-sdk. Furthermore I'm guessing that the other bat file is supposed to create a new system variable that points to the root directory of tfs-sdk, so I added the variable manually and called it TFSSDKDir (is that the correct name), then I restarted the computer and tried again. Still couldn't run - same error dialog. I also tried to simply add the path to tfs-sdk root directory in the Path variable. What am I doing wrong?

you need these dlls in your datapack to run the exe
put them in the same folder your exe is in
OpenTibia DLL Pack (v2.0)

 

[Tarek]

If you compiled TFS as x64: MEGA

If you compiled TFS as x86: MEGA

Put the DLLs in the same folder where data and the .exe file is

Taken from: Nightly Releases for TFS 1.X

 

[Shyzoul]

If you compiled TFS as 86-bit: MEGA

86-bit system doesn't exists either are possible

 

[Tarek]

86-bit system doesn't exists either are possible

btw lua libs on tfs 1.x are static linked, only dynamic lib you need is mysql.lib, which already is inside tfs SDK folder that you have downloaded

no, if you compiled TFS in x64 you can't run x86 dlls with TFS. (and vice versa)

 

[Shyzoul]

no, if you compiled TFS in x64 you can't run x86 dlls with TFS. (and vice versa)

dude x86 is doesnt meant for 86bit system, it meant for X86 intel processors, which introduced 32bit long instructions compatibility, eg (8086, 80286, 80386 ... )

whatever you say

Yes, I downloaded the DLL pack and put it into the right folder. Now I am able to run the program, but it returns:

It seems like I'm missing some PDB files. Is there another pack I need to download?

compile it in release x64 not debug x32

 

[Stefan Jonsson]

I'm pretty sure I'm compiling it in release x64 now, but it still seems to believe I want to run it in x32.

Configuration:





Build:

[Shyzoul]

I'm pretty sure I'm compiling it in release x64 now, but it still seems to believe I want to run it in x32.

it's already compiled, just look on output folder and get tfs binary, what you're trying to do is start tfs with visual studio debugger, which doesn't know what is your working directory, you need to configure your visual studio to get this working, tho you don't need that
