Forum :: EOSERV :: EOSERV on Linux

Hi,

I've always hosted on windows OS's. Which leads me to ask, what dependencies/libraries do i need to install on linux/ubuntu to successfully compile and run eoserv on linux.

I don't need a full blown tutorial, just some pointers.

-thanks

EDIT: or a tutorial would be great for the wiki :)

You could try this old Tut.

I did follow that guide, i ended up running into errors.

Considering EOSERV has changed so much since that tutorial i would think things have been changed.

Any typical gnu/linux system capable of compiling C++ should work fine. You'll only need mariadb connector and/or sqlite development libraries as external dependencies. Both are available in most distro's repositories.

For debian/ubuntu/mint, the following commands should download and build eoserv, assuming the gcc version in your distro is a recent enough version (current stable debian, jessie, might not be):

sudo apt-get install subversion build-essentials libmariadb-client-lgpl-dev libsqlite0-dev
svn co svn://eoserv.net/eoserv/trunk/ eoserv
cd eoserv
./configure linux
make POLL=1 MYSQL=1 SQLITE=1

Alright, everything seems to go good until database.cpp.  I'm pretty sure I'm missing a linker or something having to do with mysql.  I've investigated, but after spending most of the night trying to figure it out, I've decided to post again for suggestions.

Strange, check the output of the mariadb_config --libs command. Should look like this:

If you're using libmysqlclient instead of mariadb, you might have to replace mariadb_config with mysql_config in Makefile.lnx.

Also make sure you write the same make command (with MYSQL=1) every time.

As you said, i did have to change mariadb_config to mysql_config.

After i began receiving:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lssl
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcrypto

after installing libssl-dev package everything compiled successfully.

I will most likely put together a wiki page on compiling on ubuntu/linux.

Thanks sausage for the tips!
