Compiling build

[jkennedy]

was just wondering if someone would just add that if you wanna compile with a 64 bit system on this link just make sure you use a 32bit mysql http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=VS2008

[Zandig]

Thanks for the info.

Added to the wiki guide....

[jkennedy]

also forgot to mention u need 32 bit perl also it seems but besides that compiles nice ty for guide but a 64 bit system can do compile as long as they have the 32 bit perl and mysql

added...

Thanks again for the info as there were a few people who had trouble compiling on 64 bit.

[jkennedy]

ya np figured id let u know i used ur guide only did the 64 bot downloads and it failed to compile change mysql to 32 and got zone and world to compile changes perl and got it all lol ty for the guide

I followed the guide as well and have 32 bit perl and mysql on a 64 it windows & system. I've searched forums here and elsewhere and just can't figure this out. The error I get compiling world is as follows:

...

Any ideas what may be wrong? Trying to get a bots build going with bots that don't heal the mob I am trying to kill. (p.s. A compiled google svn bots update would be much appreciated!)

Yes, add the SoD patch files to your solution.

On the VS2008 Guide it says to use Zlib 1.2.3 and to follow the link. The link takes you to Zlib 1.2.4 and when I extract it there is no Zlib/lib or Zlib/include folder.

First question is does this version work to complie?
Second question I can make a folder zlib/lib and zlib/include but what files from zlib do i put in it?

Have never compiled before....Please be gentle I'm sure its me or something I should just know if I have compiled before.

thanks in advance,

EDIT: sorry forgot to add zlib/include

[Nacl2]

Nevermind,

I tried to use the 1.2.4 version and added the files didnt work.

Found a copy on Sourceforge for the zlib 1.2.3 files which has the folders already set up after extract.

[Zandig]

Thanks for the heads up.

I've updated the guide with the SourceForge download location for 'zlib123-dll.zip'.

Zlib has moved up to version 1.2.4 and things have changed. I haven't had time to sort version 1.2.4 into the guide. Version 1.2.3 works well with compiling so no need to mess with it

Compiled using zlib-1.2.4 yesterday with no problems.

[Taurinus]

Aye, I've used zlib-1.2.4 for a while now without any issue. Infact, if you are interested in using your IDE for something more than a heavy-weight text editor, you really need to build your dependencies yourself. That way you control all aspects of the build and not end up with a crippled linker and limp distro.

Agree. I spent a lot of time doing this over the weekend, but now my builds are smooth when the SVN updates come. Also, I'm using MySQL 5.1 without any issues either as wells as perl 5.10, though I know 5.10 has been usable for a while now.
