TFS 1.X+ Can't build the server

[RickJF]

I've been trying to build the forgotten server for about 2 days now I I can't make it work.

I'm using a freshly installed ubuntu 16.10 server and the Boost library is just broken, no matter what I do it just isn't installed.

Can anyone help me? Even a compiled version would do, this is so frustrating.

Reinstall everything, make fresh ubuntu 16 installation and then :

apt-get update && upgrade -y
do-release-upgrade
apt-get update && upgrade -y
apt-get autoremove

And then follow some tutorial how to compile TFS

Ubuntu 16.10 is EOL, you should not be using it. It likely won't have the boost version that is required in latest TFS.

Thanks for your replies guys. You are very right about that Don, and after a lot of work I managed it.

Sadly thats the only way I can host for a reasonable price in my country, anything more complex, up to date, or dedicated costs trice as much.

For anyone struggling with this, I had to compile and manually link (sym links) the whole Boost package. There are several tutorial in the Boost website, but the key is, after suffering with the whole process, link the compiled result yourself to the route your server is using to load the libraries, It should be all over the errors xD.
