Precompiled binaries

[lerxst2112]

Those are warnings, not errors, and they are normal. Take a look again and see if you can post the actual errors. Not sure why you went through the process with perl 5.8 and 5.10, all you need is 5.14 installed fresh.

Thats the thing, it gave no errors, just failed one then skipped another.
I thought it odd that I got a fail with no errors only warnings.

I got sick of trying to figure out the perl issues so I covered all the bases.
I didn't really want to mod the code or rename files. I always seem to get in a bind eventually if I do. Just a preference I guess.

If you want to use the precompiled binaries you'll want to use 5.10 until I can figure out why 5.14 isn't working. If you're going to compile it yourself, then get what ever makes you happy.

Thanks. I would use perl 5.10 if I could get it. There seems to be no way to download it now unless you have $999 to spend on the business version or pro version. I will try to compile it with 5.12 and follow your advice for changing the references to perl510. Thanks for your help

Actually, I am playing on the Desdemona server now and it has the new bot code already. I like their custom content too. The only thing is they don't have all the LDoN camps up yet, just Butcherblock but I am hoping they will have the others in soon. I may not need to compile my own but I probably will anyway, just for the experience because I find it interesting. I am learning this stuff now, LOL.

Perl 5.10 comes standard in XAMPP. That's what I'm using.

Good to know! I will give that a try I guess since everything is built around Perl 5.10~

Thanks

5.14 should work in your set up though. You should have some build logs. Without your error we can't really tell you what to fix. Find the build logs and take a look in them to see what the error is. If it fails to build it is because there is an error. If you find it, let us know.

I tried using perl510 that comes with Xampp but it does not come with PPM (Pearl Packet Manager) so I could not do the PPM installs. It did compile nicely tho.

Using Activeperl 5.12 worked nicely after following your advice and doing a find/replace on the source for "perl510.lib" and replacing with "perl512.lib". I am using a server I compiled the binaries with this way. Thanks for your help with that.

It stands to reason that I should be able to do the same with Perl 5.14 so I will try that next just to see if it works but I am not in any rush right now since my server is up and running!

Thanks again Andrew80k and everyone else for the support.

Next I want to get the peqphpeditor up and running so I can fix a few minor things like putting backpacks on the Merchant in the tutorialb zone and on some merchants in PoK.

[lerxst2112]

If you are using Visual Studio 2010 the default is to expect Perl 5.14.

If you are using Visual Studio 2008 and try to make it use Perl 5.14 it will compile, but your zones will crash and you will be unhappy. There's a reason it isn't the default on that compiler.

OK, took your advice and tried it again. I compiled with VS c++ 2010, 32bit build, release bots.

eqlaunch failed, the other 4 were successful, and of course it skipped the queryserver part since that is only for the 64bit version.

Here is the build log for eqlaunch:

I don't know enough about this to debug it, maybe someone can take a look and tell me what to do. If so, I appreciate the support! Thanks folks.

Just an FYI since you aren't using it anymore, but PPM is there. Perhaps you didn't include the perl/bin in your environment variables?

Try and post errors only.

These are all from zlib.lib being missing.
