New build system used by MaNGOS Master/One/Zero

[VladimirMangos]

Starting from [11167] versions MaNGOS Master version use new build system base at cmake usage.

* If you build MaNGOS at Unix/Linux then you need have

installed cmake package and only can build mangos with cmake use:

mkdir build; cd build; cmake .. ; make; make install

as example normal way build in like case.

* If you plan build MaNGOS at Windows then for this time prefered

use old way with Visual Studio projects in win directory. So nothing really changes in this case.

You _can_ use cmake way MaNGOS build at Windows but this experemental mode.

For cmake using build you need have cmake tool installed at Windows (with adding cmake to PATH).

And need run cmake (most simple way run createprojects.bat in MaNGOS root directory)

and then load generated Visual Studio solltion file build/mangos.sln

[added]Mangos One also use cmake from [s0827] revision.

[added2]MaNGOS Zero also use cmake from [z1369] revision

hello vladimir

it plumkis

here is the latest version of mangos

Ben is the sacred compilation errors

c + +2008 and it makes me chanque conversion

So if you moved us what is going according

voila greeting and thank you again for everything you do

[henhouse]

That's great news! Cmake is really nice to use, and I've always found a lot easier to work with.

[burninsky]

how can mangosscript compile?

i can't compile sd2

[VladimirMangos]

Read at sd2 forum. This nto related to core.

[Vapula]

Is it still possible to use parameters similar to the ./configure one to

- specify ETC and DATA dir

- Enable/isable console and Remote access

- Choose DB support

...

[ifilgud]

I have the same questions as Vapula because I compiled with:

cmake .. -DDEBUG=1 -DPREFIX=/home/user/mangos/ -DSYSCONFDIR=/home/user/mangos/etc/ -DDATADIR=/home/user/mangos/data/

And the .conf files are not setting data folder, it's set to "." instead of /home/user/mangos/data/

sysconf folder is the right one, but maybe because of the default settting is "prefix/etc"

[Darkknight900]

tested cmake on windows although VS support is also available i would like to work with Code::Blocks. But very bad a con for cmake on windows

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:39 (message):
 Under Windows other compiler than Microsoft Visual Studio are not
 supported.


Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Tested with codeblocks+mingw installation, cmake didn't find neither the mingw nor the codeblocks executable although i have all installed on the default way. Also tested mingw standalone, same there.

Btw. have selected it with the Advanced option checked and in the end there was everytime this error at top

[VladimirMangos]

about non VS build at windows: main reason that it directly disabled is existing in mangos code expection "Windows" == "VS build". You can remove related check in mangos root dir CMakeLists.txt but you will need fix related code problems for make mangos buildable by non-VS compiler. I also not sure how hard make packages in dep dir build at windows not by VS

Ofc, if you will have some good loking fixed for this Windows==VS-buld limitaiton for code parts will be nice see its as patches in under review section.

[xarly]

Thank you for your huge work, but I think this will be a step back, at least for windows users. I'm having the first troubles with cmake and visual studio 10, some errors, output weird, compilation is slower (weird think i know, but it's true). We were used to using VS and was wonderful, I think I will have to restore win folder, and update it as I can

[Schmoozerd]

windows VC is still supported, cannot see why you removed it (both supported in core and sd2)

[heugabel]

its possible to hide the "unused parameter" warnings within enabled debug mode?

and i become a few warnings:

in core/sd2 code its must be fixed instead hide.

[VladimirMangos]

Mangos One also use cmake from [s0827] revision.

[Coolfox]

So the wiki http://getmangos.eu/wiki/Compile_MaNGOS_On_Ubuntu is not up to date anymore? I was trying to get the AHbot to work, but i screwed up and deleted tho whole mangos dir. So when i followed the instructions in the wiki, and i get stuck on

~# autoreconf --install --force

. That's when cmake come's in i guess? ANd now i'am stuck. can someone help me with this?

From the wiki:

Compile MaNGOS

Now where going to compile, this takes anywhere from 30 minutes up to a few hours.

This is going to get everything ready, we will compile in the "objdir" so if we are to ever recompile for some reason, we can just remove this folder and have a clean slate.

~# autoreconf --install --force
~# mkdir objdir
~# cd objdirThis will configure MaNGOS. 

~# ../configure --prefix=/opt/mangos --sysconfdir=/opt/mangos/etc --datadir=/opt/mangosThe last step is to start the compiler, this part takes the longest. 

~# make -j [#ofCores]
~# make install

[Delaregar]

Pretty much what Vladimir said above

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make
make install

If you install mangos outside the default directory, you'll want to pass in your prefix directory to cmake with -DPREFIX=/path/to/server

[Coolfox]

I think i have made a mistake the first time. that's why it didn't work what Vladimir has writen.

So this whole thing isn't needed anymore? cmake is running btw.

~# autoreconf --install --force
~# mkdir objdir
~# cd objdirThis will configure MaNGOS. 

~# ../configure --prefix=/opt/mangos --sysconfdir=/opt/mangos/etc --datadir=/opt/mangosThe last step is to start the compiler, this part takes the longest. 

~# make -j [#ofCores]
~# make install

[VladimirMangos]

Coolfox, forgot about autoconf/configure (its NOT used in mangos build anymore) and read above how now must build mangos.

[Coolfox]

Thank u Vladimir. I think i will manage. If not i'll be back

[Levitan]

ГИГАНТСКОЕ СПАСИБО, черт меня подери! Стало в _разы_ удобнее!

[Locario]

Ok, cmake now, but, what changes are neccesary now to install MangOS? We need another install step by step guide to install mangos at this time

[Skirnir]

@Locario3: All you need to know and probably more http://getmangos.eu/wiki/Compile_MaNGOS_On_Linux

All glory to our Wiki!

[Squizzy]

RSA repo only have cmake for windows but doesnt work -.- i have installed vs express 2010 and the PATH method in cmake. it doesnt work with bat or manual

is there anybody who has this problem too?

[VladimirMangos]

NOT USE CMAKE under WINDOWS. PERIOD.
