Need some assistance

[Kobaz]

Here's how I handle it. I have a directory called eqemu. In this I have the following 4 scripts:

john@paranoia:~/eqemu$ cat getEmuSource.sh 
#!/bin/bash
svn checkout  http://projecteqemu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/  projecteqemu-read-only
john@paranoia:~/eqemu$ cat getEQmaps.sh 
#!/bin/bash
svn checkout http://eqemumaps.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ eqemumaps-read-only
john@paranoia:~/eqemu$ cat getPEQdb.sh 
#!/bin/bash
svn checkout http://projecteqdb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ projecteqdb-current-only
john@paranoia:~/eqemu$ cat getQuest.sh 
#!/bin/bash
svn checkout http://projecteqquests.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ projecteqquests-read-only
john@paranoia:~/eqemu$

I also create a folder called server, and I have a folder LS for privateLogin server.

In eqemu/server I have a symlink to the source files:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 john john      38 2009-06-20 07:31 source -> ../projecteqemu-read-only/EQEmuServer/

and all my other symlinks:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 john john      16 2009-06-20 13:31 zone -> source/zone/zone

To make the server, I just

cd eqemu/server/source

Add my patches to the server (random loot code), source any db updates and then type

make depends ; make -j 2

and wait. Change the number after the 'j' to however many cores you want working on compilation.

I follow the instructions as posted elsewhere to manage updating the database.

This is on a debian system, but should work on anything. I hope it helps.

Looks like a good idea but cleanipc and libEMuShareMem.so + some other things in your symlinks dont exist for me or?

Did you not checkout the code from the svn? cleanipc should be in source/utils/cleanipc and libEMuShareMem.so should be in source/EMuShareMem/libEMuShareMem.so

cleanipc.cpp is the only thing related to cleanipc in name... and libEMuShareMem.so doesnt exist :<

Are you using the -s flag when you create the link?

ln -s TARGET LINK

will create a symlink, or soft link. The file TARGET need not exist, and will then create a "dangling symlink". Attempts to access LINK will fail until you actually create the file TARGET. In your case the file cleanipc will be created after you compile the software.

Play with the ln command in your /tmp directory. I recall that it took me a while to be comfortable with how it works when I first met UNIX. Also check out

ln --help

and

man ln
