Compiling How to compile OT Client and Server on Docker and WSL 2

[randal923]

Hey guys, I have been trying to compile TFS for a long time now with no success.

I first tried to compile the optimized_forgottenserver with the regular visual studio way but I ran into a ton of issues. I fixed almost all them but there was one I couldn't fix: cannot open input 'mpir.lib'. I downloaded this lib but I don't know how to compile it.

Then I tried to compile the regular tfs server, for this one I actually went with docker because the visual studio way was giving me a lua.hpp issue and I was tired of trying to fix the local environment. I was able to build the Docker image but when I run it, it says it couldn't connect to MySQL server. I would like the database to also be included in the image, how would I go about that?

Also, I am using WSL 2 and building the image in the ubuntu side of things. I believe my client would be able to access the port opened by the image without an issue? Since it's localhost.

I was able to write a docker-compose file based on the example on Github.

version: "3.8"
services:
  server:
    build:
      context: ./server
    restart: always
    container_name: server
    ports:
      - "7171:7171"
      - "7172:7172"
    depends_on:
      - db
    networks:
      - db-network
  db:
    image: mysql
    restart: always
    container_name: db
    cap_add:
      - SYS_NICE
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: password
      MYSQL_USER: forgottenserver
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: password
      # Automatically creates a database
      MYSQL_DATABASE: forgottenserver
    volumes:
      # Saves all the data in ./db directory
      - ./server/db:/var/lib/mysql
      # Automatically executes schema.sql on startup
      - ./server/schema.sql:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/schema.sql
    networks:
      - db-network
  db-adminer:
    image: adminer
    container_name: db_adm
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 8080:8080
    networks:
      - db-network
networks:
  db-network:

Now I am trying to build the OTclient but I am not sure how to write the dock-compose for it. I am getting this error: xhost: unable to open display "" when building the Dockerfile.

I will post more updates as I figure these out. Any help would be awesome.

I am hard stuck on this. " xhost +" returns

xhost:  unable to open display ""

If I try to just run docker I get this

docker: Error response from daemon: error gathering device information while adding custom device "/dev/dri": no such file or directory.

Any help?
