Debian Installation attempt

Hey all,
This weekend I made an attempt at swapping from Windows, to Debian and it didn't go so well.

The pieces that didn't go real well were the compiling and sourcing in my windows database... I ran through it from start to finish many times, and each time I had different issues. Sometimes the compiler would give me comparison errors, and other times it seemed to go fine except the links were broken. When I finally had it running I saw the server on the login screen but couldnt connect because the banned ip field was not there (database didn't seem to source right from my backup of the windows pc.

Has anyone else gone through this and worked it out, I know im being vague, but i had so many issues I thought I would just discuss them all.

Thank you,

Did you try running 'make depend' before compile? what links were broken ? was it perl or MySql?

hmmm, make depend doesn't sound familiar to me... is that in the wiki? I better read it again. After compiling you have to link to the executables and other files... those links were messed up and I had to do a lot of manual moving and directory editing, which of course didn't help

I might give it another go and just source in a new DB... suck to lose all my custom stuff and accounts though.

Just type 'make clean', then 'make depend', and finally 'make'

I'll give it a shot, thank you

hmmm, I ran make clean first and that seemed to go ok.

Code:

eqemu@server:~/server/EQEmu-0.7.0-1043-source$ make depend
make: *** No rule to make target `depend'.  Stop.
eqemu@server:~/server/EQEmu-0.7.0-1043-source$
