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

[Bintzer]

Well I'm using Ubuntu 8.10, and when I try to use ./autogen.sh in the directory with all my source files, it says "Permission denied." And yes im logged in with root user and full administrator privelages. Any idea what could be the problem?

 

[Wat]

That's simple,

sudo chmod +x autogen.sh

 

[Bintzer]

Ah tyvm that worked. :thumbup:
Now I'm getting another error.. When I try to do the command

./configure --enable-mysql --enable-sqlite --enable-remote-control --enable-server-diag

I get -bash ./configure: No such file or directory"
(I'm very new to Linux)
I tried doing it in every directory that the source came with..

 

[Bintzer]

Still needing help on this
Any ideas?

svn co http://svn.otland.net/public/forgottenserver/tags/0.3.2/

cd 0.3.2

./autogen.sh

./configure --enable-mysql --enable-sqlite --enable-remote-control --enable-server-diag

I did that but after I "make" it, I only get the "theforgottenserver" file, no config.lua or anything else.

(The tutorial from elf worked perfectly but Id like to compile 0.3.2, not the one on elf's example, so I did everything just like the one on elf's example, and then in the respective part I did what Pietia said in his post)

What am I doing wrong?

download the config.lua file from the svn..http://svn.otland.net/public, its not made when you compile

 

[Guitar Freak]

=O Its not? But thats like only on the version 0.3.2 or in general? Ive never compiled (successfully) before this so I wouldnt know, but Im wondering because when I followed elf's tut for 0.3.1pl2 I actually ended up having the config.lua and everything :blink:

(with everything I mean "data doc config.lua forgottenserver.s3db schema.mysql schema.pgsql schema.sqlite theforgottenserver")

In this case with 0.3.2 Im only getting the file "theforgottenserver", thats the way it is supposed to happen?

And if so, I know Im extreme noob for asking such thing but, to download that, should I type (on the sources folder):

svn co http://svn.otland.net/public/forgottenserver/tags/0.3.2

And thats all?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Nvm I did it Im guessing I was doing something wrong like maybe I moved the files somewhere and didnt notice or something like that lol.

Thanks for the help anyways, +Rep for ya and elf too for this great tut~
Edit: I need to "spread some rep around" before giving ya goosio, I gave u already a few weeks ago Ill give ya when I have it available again :thumbsup:.

Btw, *offtopic* how come this thread had 3 stars (before I voted) if it works perfectly? :blink:
