autobuild for Linux, FreeBSD, OS X

erde · #1 04-29-2009, 04:18 PM

I had some free time and thought it would be nice to have autobuild scripts for eqemu.
Ok, here it is! This will make the build process easier. For example to enable bots, simply configure with

Code:

configure --enable-bots --prefix=/path/to/install

thats it.

The build system is tested with
- Mac OS X 10.5.6 (Intel Mac)
- Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.1 32bit (Pentium 4)
- Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.1 64bit (Intel Quad Core)

Ok, some features:
- detect build system OS(Linux/FreeBSD/Darwin), architectur (32/64bit)
- detect mysql
- detect perl
- set install path
- installs all needed files!
- build options (Bots/Debug/LogLevel/Compile Warnings)

not yet implemented:
- detect libperl

here is a overview of the configure options:

Code:

--prefix	path to install

--enable-debug          Turn on debugging
--enable-warnings       enable compile warnings
--enable-bots           Turn on bots

--with-loglevel         Set loglevel (default: 5)

	// 0 <= Quiet mode Errors to file Status and Normal ignored
	// 1 >= Status and Normal to console, Errors to file
	// 2 >= Status, Normal, and Error  to console and logfile
	// 3 >= Lite debug
	// 4 >= Medium debug
	// 5 >= Debug release (Anything higher is not recommended for regular use)
	// 6 == (Reserved for special builds) Login  opcode debug All packets dumped
	// 7 == (Reserved for special builds) Chat Opcode debug All packets dumped
	// 8 == (Reserved for special builds) World opcode debug All packets dumped
	// 9 == (Reserved for special builds) Zone Opcode debug All packets dumped
	// 10 >= More than you ever wanted to know

Ok, now here is how it works:

cd into the EQEmulator Source directory

get the build system

Code:

wget http://quadfreunde-ergoldsbach.de/eqemu/eqbuild.tgz

unpack

Code:

tar xvzf eqbuild.tgz

run prepare.sh, this will remove all previous makefiles and create missing files.

Code:

sh prepare.sh

run

Code:

autoreconf -fi

create a directory for the build process

Code:

mkdir build

cd into the build directory

Code:

cd build

run configure

Code:

../configure --prefix=/path/to/install

This will build eqemu with the default options.

To enable bots configure with

Code:

../configure --enable-bots --prefix=/path/to/install

To set the loglevel to 3 "Status, Normal, and Error to console and logfile" do

Code:

../configure --with-loglevel=3 --prefix=/path/to/install

to compile simply do

Code:

make

to install everything

Code:

make install

Have fun!

Interesting. Is this something that has to be rebuilt with each revision, or will it automatically download new revision files?

the archive has a folder called EMUShareMem, should be called EMuShareMem, otherwise seems to work

Thanks for testing! the archive contains now the newest files and i have renamed EMUSharedMem to the correct name.

No, this downloads nothing. Its just a build system so you dont have to be aware what makefile is used. Just do

Code:

configure --prefix=/path/to/install
make
make install

and you are done.

Dude, this is awesome. I have a script that I use to download and build everything but that is small potatoes compared to this. I may combine that with this to get a fully functional build.

I've been commissioned to take a look at this and possibly add it to the SVN, if that's alright, with you erde? This is exactly what *nix users of EQEmu have needed for some time!

Feel free to do what ever you want with this. I ve made this for the eqemu community.*

Is there an option to over-ride the gcc, g++ and library versions? Auto-detection will fail on my system.

You could try this:
CC=gcc-4.0 CPP=cpp-4.0 ../configure

erde · #10 05-01-2009, 10:33 AM

Update the archive! There was a problem with the --with-loglevel option

can you tell me what doesnt work? maybe post the config.log

erde · #12 05-03-2009, 06:10 AM

It looks like the m4 directory wasnt created. normally "autoreconf -fi" should create it.

could you rerun "autoreconf -fi" in the root source dir, if there is no m4 directory
create one with "mkdir m4" and try again.

Do you have libtool installed?

I have update the archive with a new prepare.sh script, that creates the missing directory.

Currently in the works:
- options to specify the path to mysql_config
- cleanups
- comments

It does, when i remember right there is one compile error, but not hard to fix.
