Is there an actual active Linux Binary release? It'd be nice to get World running on a Linux box as all my servers are running Linux, Kernel 2.6.xx+.

Not at this time, we want a stable client on Windows first. Then we will worry about linux binaries. Windows environment is just easier to work with is all.

The source compiles on linux just fine. Try it if you have a linux box that you want it to run on. In fact the EQ2Emulator server runs on linux.

Yeah, it's all in c++ which is cross platform. You should be able to google some good tutorials on how to compile c++ from source if you want to try that out. Post any bugs you come up with. I'll load up my linux vm and get a good tutorial on how to do that this weekend.

Ahhh, I knew C++ was Cross-Platform, I use Linux everyday. I'll try compiling it with GCC to see the result.

Link, I am running FC4 and the code from the SVN compiles without a problem or tweak. I have yet to try on another *nix platform, however.

Wow, John, that's actually a great statement since Fedora Core 8 is coming out

.
So if it compiles on 4, I'm sure it'll be fine on 8, which means that most linux version should work.

Indeed.
You can find me over here in this prairie, with all the other dinosaurs.

Unfortunately we don't have support for recursive mutexes under FreeBSD, so scratch it off the compatibility list.

Code: Select all

../common/Mutex.cpp:77: error: 'PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE_NP' was not declared in this scope

I was able to compile world in gentoo. I created a new database called eq2 in MYSQL, then just copied the following files to a separate folder called server in my eq2emu folder:
CommonStructs.xml
LoginServer.ini
WorldStructs.xml
world
world_db.ini
I edited the LoginServer.ini and world_db.ini files then just ran ./world . It downloaded and started to populate the database. Then I restarted the server and saw:
./world

I'm counting how many times you've opened this...
Starting factory Reader
Starting factory Writer
World server listening on: mydomain.com:9000
World server listening on: mylocalip (If use:9000
Connected to LoginServer: eq2emulator.net:9100
Looks like the server started correctly, I don't have the correct client version to test it though, so I have to wait...
Hope this helps anyone trying to compile on linux.
