Compiling [Linux] Ultimate compile guide for Debian (Ubuntu included)

I would like to note its my own guide, not copied from any other site, though, I gathered everything needed from many other tutorials- when compiling for the first time at my own server.
I want also to doubt success on other debian-like distributions just because I didn't test them, but it shouldn't fail.
It surely works, beause I can compile everything starting TFS 0.3 through otserv, so if it doesn't for You, then its probably only Your fault.
Okay, here it goes.

Pre. If you're using Ubuntu and you aren't logged on root user, do it by following command and type your password:

Code (Text):

1. sudo su

1. On the begining, you need to update your packets database, then upgrade your operating system.

Code (Text):

1. apt-get update

Code (Text):

1. apt-get upgrade

If update fails, you have to increase apt cache size. To do it, perform following actions:

Code (Text):

1. cd /etc/apt

Code (Text):

1. pico apt.conf

and paste there:

Code (Text):

1. APT::Cache-Limit "125829120";

Now press F2 to close Nano and answer YES/NO to save the file.

2. Now you have to install some (maybe even alot of them ) packets.

Code (Text):

1. apt-get install libboost1.41-dev libboost-system1.41-dev libboost-filesystem1.41-dev libboost-date-time1.41-dev libboost-regex1.41-dev libboost-thread1.41-dev libgmp3-dev liblua5.1-0 liblua5.1-0-dev liblua50 liblua50-dev liblualib50 liblualib50-dev lua50 lua5.1 libsqlite0-dev libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libmysql++-dev libmysqlclient-dev mysql-client-5.1 mysql-server-5.1 mysql-common libxml2-dev libxml++2.6-dev cpp gcc g++ make automake autoconf pkg-config subversion liblua5.1-sql-mysql-dev liblua5.1-sql-sqlite3-dev zlib1g-dev zlib1g libcrypto++-dev libcrypto++8

If your apt says some packages are missing, make sure you have set repositories in /etc/sources.list. After you fix things around (distribution-independent), perform again step 1.

3. Ok, you have installed everything required to compile- easy, huh? Now you may do 'the job'.
Here's an compilation example for TFS 0.3.5pl1:

NOTE! If you are trying to compile TFS 0.2, please skip the step 6 (with autogen) and 7 (with configure) and finish with step 8 (just type make).

If you receive a linker error saying something with 'libboost', try pasting the following commands to terminal and then move back to compiling again:

Code (Text):

1. cd ~

Code (Text):

1. wget http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/asio/boost_asio_1_0_0.tar.gz

Code (Text):

1. tar -xzf boost_asio_1_0_0.tar.gz

Code (Text):

1. cp -ar boost_asio_1_0_0/boost/* /usr/include/boost/

Code (Text):

1. g++ boost_asio_1_0_0/libs/system/src/error_code.cpp -c -o /usr/lib/libboost_system.a

Code (Text):

1. ln /usr/lib/libboost_date_time-mt.so /usr/lib/libboost_date_time.so

Code (Text):

1. ln /usr/lib/libboost_date_time-mt.a /usr/lib/libboost_date_time.a

Code (Text):

1. ln /usr/lib/libboost_filesystem-mt.so /usr/lib/libboost_filesystem.so

Code (Text):

1. ln /usr/lib/libboost_filesystem-mt.a /usr/lib/libboost_filesystem.a

Code (Text):

1. ln /usr/lib/libboost_regex-mt.so /usr/lib/libboost_regex.so

Code (Text):

1. ln /usr/lib/libboost_regex-mt.a /usr/lib/libboost_regex.a

Code (Text):

1. ln /usr/lib/libboost_thread-mt.so /usr/lib/libboost_thread.so

Code (Text):

1. ln /usr/lib/libboost_thread-mt.a /usr/lib/libboost_thread.a

Code (Text):

1. ldconfig

Code (Text):

1. cd ~

Code (Text):

1. rm -rf boost_asio_1_0_0

4. Congratulations! You've just compiled your engine. Yet you need to move files from 'source' directory...

Code (Text):

1. mv data doc mods schemas config.lua forgottenserver.s3db theforgottenserver theforgottenserver.s3db ..

Now its up to run, you just have to configure it

NOTE! If you're trying to run 0.2, please use the following:

Code (Text):

1. mv data doc config.lua forgottenserver.s3db forgottenserver.sql schema.sqlite forgottenserver ..

 

Why remove the source files? And, you don't have to use sudo anywhere if you are root or turn into.

 

Hmm... Updated
And about sudo - as far as I know (I doubt it, since I've only heard it), Ubuntu doesn't have a root user...

 

sorry, sudo aint required in Ubuntu

 

Short... Thanks

 

Ubuntu indeed have a root user

 

You cant use the gui manager to log in as root however if you are running Ubuntu Desktop Edition. And by default root isn't configured you have to go in and set a password for root.

 

Thats why you can do 'sudo -i'.

 

Welcome
i can't compile TFS on Ubuntu 7.04
i do all how it is on this tutorial

Sory for my english

 

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -llua5.1-sql-sqlite
ye? ^^ tried to fix those one by one etc, but tbh, i have no clue what I'm doing.

 

On the first apt-get commands I got these errors:

Code (Text):

1. E: Imposs?*vel achar pacote libboost-date-time1.34.1
2. E: Imposs?*vel achar pacote libboost-regex1.34.1
3. E: Imposs?*vel achar pacote libboost-signals1.34.1
4. E: Imposs?*vel achar pacote libboost-thread1.34.1
5.  

Translation:

Code (Text):

1. E: Unable to find package libboost-date-time1.34.1
2. E: Unable to find package libboost-regex1.34.1
3. E: Unable to find package libboost-signals1.34.1
4. E: Unable to find package libboost-thread1.34.1
5.  

 

E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?

 

Elf you should upload ur dev-cpp it would make things easier..

 

I'm getting this error too when i compile
Someone knows the solution?
Thanks

Edit:
Resolved

 

Updated the tutorial.

 

Thanks alot <short>

 

I keep getting "virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory"

I've got a small VPS and when I get to ~/forgottenserver and run the make command it gets to game.o and stops and gives me the memory error. Am I screwed, or should I just try to reboot the VPS? What do you guys think?

Also - I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 And so far up until this point everything's been running smoothly, no problems :/


EDIT
Uninstalled Ubuntu, installed Debian. Same memory error.

 

Probably you must type 'sudo' before command

When I tried download packages i got this bug:

4. Budowanie drzewa zależności      
5. Reading state information... Gotowe
6. libxml2 jest już w najnowszej wersji.
7. libsqlite3-0 jest już w najnowszej wersji.
8. make jest już w najnowszej wersji.
9. E: Nie udało się odnaleźć pakietu liblua5.1-sql-mysql-2

How to solve it?
