COMPLETE PUBLIC SERVER SETUP - Jan-2011

[Huppy]

You do not want to download "essentials", just the plain mysql
Did you not get asked any installation questions when installing perl ?
Its usually a .bat file to click on and opens a command window, at least the
version I installed did.

Alrighty, i did regular mysql the only thing im trying different is instead of typing it in im just setting to the the Program file (x86) C:\mysql file hoping that will do something not sure though, ive tried alot of things, i guess this time ill also try reinstalling perl, though i still dont think thats the problem im getting but always worth a shot

Actually my solution above did work, only new problem is my Quests folder already has a green check, how do i revise it to the http://projecteqquests.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/quests

Edit: when i try to change it, it does this


Switch C:\eqemu\quests to http://projecteqquests.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/quests, Revision HEAD
Repository UUID '858f6fc0-2484-11de-a087-198e6c7179d9' doesn't match expected
UUID '1db01234-8a6e-11dd-8937-b3a01dae0fbe'

I deleted the old files like Maps and Quests and made news one that could actually have the URL process done to it, dont know if that works but we will see.

I am encountering compiling falures as well. I am currently at 2/5 successful.

ActivePerl 5.10.1 Build 1008
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express
MySQL Server 5.5.9
zlib 1.2.3

Ended up 1/4 success - they were failing because it could not find "zlib.lib"

I notice that a "zlib.lib" file was not included in my zlib download. Found this forum (http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=28678) which confirms that the official zip file calls the lib "zdll.lib" instead of "zlib.lib". So I made a copy of "zdll.lib" named "zlib.lib" and the compiler can now find that file...

However, that brought me to 2/5 sucessful and the other 3 are all failing on the same issue.

The 3 build failures are identical for World, Zone, and ucs, and happens during the linking stage:

2>Linking...
2>mysqlclient.lib(inflate.obj) : error LNK2005: _inflateInit2_ already defined in zlib.lib(zlib1.dll)
2>mysqlclient.lib(inflate.obj) : error LNK2005: _inflate already defined in zlib.lib(zlib1.dll)
2>mysqlclient.lib(inflate.obj) : error LNK2005: _inflateEnd already defined in zlib.lib(zlib1.dll)
2>.\../build/World.exe : fatal error LNK1169: one or more multiply defined symbols found
2>World - 4 error(s), 2 warning(s)


The guide was going smoothly until it told me to add "C:\mysql\lib\opt" to the INCLUDE list in Visual Studio because that directory did not exist. So I just added "C:\mysql\lib\" and continued...

Not sure why that directory is missing because I installed all components of the MySQL server (confirmed by going into add/remove programs > change).

Downloaded this MySQL Connector C++ 1.1.0 which seems to actually contain a "mysql\lib\opt\" folder, but that did not have an affect either way...


Since I had a "mysql\lib\opt\" path now, i tried removing "c:\mysql\lib\" but then the linker fails with this reason:

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'mysqlclient.lib'.

So it seems that I need to have "mysql\lib\" in the LIBRARY list, which puts me back to the previous error.


I believe my problem is somewhere between MySQL Server and zlib.


My thoughts are that with recent changes to MySQL there is no "opt" folder but just "lib" folder?

Also, in the zlib USAGE file and it states:

- If you wish, you may rename "zdll.exp" to "zlib1.exp", and/or
rename "zdll.lib" to "zlib1.lib".

It doesnt mention renaming it to "zlib.lib" possibly because it knows thats not compatible?

Either way, I tried naming the file to "zlib1.lib" and it brings me back to my first error: LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'zlib.lib'.


Now I feel strongly that perhaps recent updates with zlib and MySQL are conflicting with each calling their own "zlib.lib", and maybe zlib is recommending use zlib1.lib instead.

So what I think I need to do is somehow tell the Linker process to use zlib's "zlib1.lib" instead of "zlib.lib".

Any suggestions?
Thx

I do not get any SVN options when I right click my folder. No SVN Checkout, nothing. I have installed Tortoise a couple of times, restarted, and still nothing. Anyone have any ideas?
