build Yet another CMake problem

[Olion]

The issue has been resolved!

Excellent! I realize now [MENTION=2]antz[/MENTION] is completely correct when not updating HowTo guides, because no one reads them...

Unfortunately the HowTo guides didn't include the relevant git command to clone the files. I was following a guide on stackoverflow on how to clone a branch but it did not download all the modules.

But thats okay, I'm in the process of creating a guide with the correct git commands included. It should save at least a few people a headache, eh.

It was my bad that I do not cited this again at the beginning of this topic, sorry.

Downloading the MaNGOS Source Code

git clone --recursive http://github.com/mangoszero/server.git 

The --recursive in the above command is very important! Without it compiling will fail.

Hi Olion,

If my memory is correct, the above command is what I used, ultimately leading to the problems I've faced here in this thread.

For anyone running into the same issue, follow the current steps:

9. In the now opened CMD window, type "git clone https://github.com/mangoszero/server -b develop21 --recursive"

10. The -b flag is used to change the branch to the branch desired, in this case develop21

11. The --recursive flag pulls the submodules, and initializes them

12. In the opened CMD window, type "git clone https://github.com/mangoszero/database -b develop21 --recursive"

All database and server files are now successfully downloaded!

I should probably have posted this sooner, but I'm writing further documentation which isn't done yet

Also, a quick thank you to Foereaper for the above information.

I currently use cmake 3.30 and it works fine for me, I also have a combination of VS versions installed - although i installed then fully patched each version in order.

I've sent you a pm to see if I can assist you more.
