Precompiled binaries

Andrew80k · #1 12-13-2011, 10:03 AM

I think for the most part, most people know that I, usually, create the pre-compiled binaries in the download section of the google site. I have been using perl 5.10 and VS2008 to do this. I am going to move to perl 5.14 for the next release which should come sometime this week. I am considering going to VS2010 after the first of the year as well, but I will update this thread when I do. If you are using these, please remember to update your version of perl before downloading the next version.

Its nice to know you create those, I was wondering about that.
I tried VS2010 and couldn't get it to work.

What SQl version are you going to use for this as well? i am using portable server as a base and not a fully installed

Just as a forewarning, perl 5.14 only will work under 64-bit compiles linked with 64-bit perl. I haven't figured out the issue with activeperl and 32-bit yet.

Keep that in mind when making a Perl 5.14 compile.

ohh ty for that cause im still on 32 bit

Thanks for that heads up secrets, I know you already posted it in the other thread but I totally space-brained it and was wondering why the compile failed for me.

So are you saying that the emu won't compile for 32-bit perl 5.14? If so I'll hold off.

Not sure if this helps or not, but I'm able to compile the current source on 64-bit openSUSE 12 by modifying the makefiles to reference my 32-bit ActivePerl 5.14.2 install path.

For zone and world I had to fix the GvCV due to 5.14 not returning an lvalue, but the code already compensates for Windows compilers on that issue.

Thank You Andrew80k for taken your time too compile source codes for others
Thank you all Developers

No errors great job!

I'm not 100% sure, but I think I use Mysql 5.1.

Thanks, Noport. I'll upgrade and give it a try.

Noport · #11 12-16-2011, 04:04 PM

I use Mysql 5.1.Right click on Solution (projects) under Common Properties goto Debug Source Files add C:\Perl\lib\CORE
Don't ask me why i added that there but it works so i'll leave it alone.

pepsiphreak79 · #12 12-18-2011, 04:18 AM

my portable uses sql 5.5 i can swap the peral between 5.8 5.10 5.12 and 5.14 very easily im on an old business box p4 2.8 ghz 32bt 2.5gb ram 700 gd of drive space

the currently released build of 2068 acually causes high cpu temp spikes when other games and programs donot as much the eq server really makes that fan rev right up especially when zones first load.
I figure with the origional EQ requirements this doesnt soundright for the server to so heavily out require the game when its only 2 people on the lan playing?

do you think that upping to 2083 and using the vb 10 and perl 5.14 will help reduce or increase cpu usage?

How did you fix the GvCV? I'm running into this issue. Can't find a fix on the web yet.

I commented out all of the lines relating to the WIN32 IF test and only left the GvCV_set lines (which occur when WIN32=true).

However, I don't do this anymore and instead specify a path to a 32-bit perl 5.10 directory in the makefiles.

Andrew80k · #15 01-01-2012, 08:41 PM

I was able to get it to compile by modifying some code, but since I did that I want to test it a bit more than normal. I run my test server on linux but I do have an older set up on my laptop that I use to build the binaries. I'll have to some updating to get it going again so it might be a few days before I get an idea if the changes I made are going to work or not. I did use perl 5.14 and mysql 5.1.
