EasyBuild - A different way to Clone, Update and Build MaNGOS

[antz]

In an attempt to help users who have struggled with the basics on getting and building the source for the server, I would like to offer my 'helper' script which simplifies the process significantly.

It's currently located at: https://github.com/mangostools/EasyBuild

Comments / Suggestions are welcome

As it is stated in the readme.md, the folders are created where you put the EasyBuild.cmd. This is much faster and easier than typing in the desired paths by hand. If you are wondering how to choose other names for the folders, you can edit the file yourself to do so. It is quite easy. But a query that is asking for the names would be more userfriendly. Antz, could you do this, please?

Just for fun:

I'm not really familliar with .cmd and .bat-coding (don't know which language they are written) but I like the possibilities they offer in making working steps faster. So I use every chance to try something out...

set /p foldername1=How should the folder containing the server files be named? 
git clone [url]https://github.com/mangoszero/server[/url] %foldername1%

Did I do it right?

Thats a nice idea svarr You could fork the repo and try applying the changes to see if they work as you expect. If they do you can issue a pull request to the mangostools repo and you'll probably see your feature added soon

I am working on this now

[antz]

I have uploaded a new version which now allows changing of the folder/repo name as requested

- defaults are still the same

I have also got it building the following extractors:

VMAP_Extractor

VMAP_Assembler

MovemapGen

I can't actually build the ad.exe atm since it will not build from the command line correctly.

[superloek]

can you make a log file from the compile that the user can see whats go wrong?

the update think works great now and the choose folder to

but i get still error in the compile

i have a longer compile time than before

[superloek]

I hope someone can help me with my error?
