Hi there, I am trying to compile Mangos on a Debian Server, but I've been unfortunate enough to get a bunch of errors in the process of doing so. I struggle quite a lot with building ACE Itself, is it possible to build Mangos without ACE? I tried to look over the forum for similar topics and I couldn't manage to find any, therefore sorry if this is a repost, or a common question. If you have any guides or tutorials that might be able to walk me through this tedious process, please hit me up with those bad boys. Thanks for your time.

Hello, I can't build the newest release of mangos zero on my Debian 9 system. I get the following error: [ 39%] Building CXX object src/shared/CMakeFiles/shared.dir/Auth/ARC4.cpp.o In file included from /home/mangos/mangoszero/serverZero/src/shared/Auth/ARC4.cpp:26:0: /home/mangos/mangoszero/serverZero/src/shared/Auth/ARC4.h:41:24: error: field ‘m_ctx’ has incomplete type ‘EVP_CIPHER_CTX {aka evp_cipher_ctx_st}’ EVP_CIPHER_CTX m_ctx; ^~~~~ In file included from /usr/include/openssl/evp.h:14:0, from /home/mangos/mangoszero/serverZero/src/shared/Auth/ARC4.h:29, from /home/mangos/mangoszero/serverZero/src/shared/Auth/ARC4.cpp:26: /usr/include/openssl/ossl_typ.h:90:16: note: forward declaration of ‘EVP_CIPHER_CTX {aka struct evp_cipher_ctx_st}’ typedef struct evp_cipher_ctx_st EVP_CIPHER_CTX; ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ src/shared/CMakeFiles/shared.dir/build.make:62: die Regel für Ziel „src/shared/CMakeFiles/shared.dir/Auth/ARC4.cpp.o“ scheiterte make[2]: *** [src/shared/CMakeFiles/shared.dir/Auth/ARC4.cpp.o] Fehler 1 CMakeFiles/Makefile2:809: die Regel für Ziel „src/shared/CMakeFiles/shared.dir/all“ scheiterte make[1]: *** [src/shared/CMakeFiles/shared.dir/all] Fehler 2 Makefile:116: die Regel für Ziel „all“ scheiterte make: *** [all] Fehler 2 On Debian 8.8 I could build the mangos zero client for a couple of weeks. Is this a global problem on Debian 9 with mangos or just a problem I have? Thanks, curatio

Hi forum, Today I will teach you how to install MaNGOS on Ubuntu virtual box. As some of you may know I an supporting a MaNGOS WoW server installation bash script on Ubuntu/Debian. I always do prefer running my WoW server on a virtual machine, so everything can become easy as pie when you mes it up The thing we will need: 1. Ubuntu OS: ( https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop ) (Ubuntu 16.04 x32 or x64) This is so called "GUEST OS" 2. Oracle virtual box: ( https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads ) ( Depending on your host. I am gonna install it for Windows my "HOST OS" ) 3. Oracle VB additions: "VirtualBox #VERSION# Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack" ( Click on the link that says this in [2] ) First download all the stuff above and save it to folder of choice ( I am gonna call it "INSTALL" ). Go to your INSTALL folder and open the virtual box to install it. This is pretty straight forward, though if you do not like where your virtual machine HDDs are stored, you can always change it by ( File -> Preferences -> [Left list] General -> Default Machine folder ). I prefer mine in "E:\VirtualMachines". Now we need to install the extensions. Go to ( File -> Preferences -> [Left list] Extensions -> Extension packages -> The little arrow-down button ). It will prompt you to browse for your extension. Give it the file downloaded file in point [3]. We are now done, so go ahead and create a virtual machine. Name it whatever you like but keep it consistent ( I used "Ubuntu 16.04 WoW x64" ). The type must be "Linux" and the version "Ubuntu" ( x32 or x64 depending on pint [1] ). Click "Next" This screen is used to set the memory [Memory] Press ( Ctrl + Shift + Esc ) to open the task manager and view how much RAM do you have free. You can use the half of it. I had 16GB free, so I went for 8GB. [Hard disk] Please use at least 10GB as there are dependencies and additional software needed for installing MaNGOS. [Hard disk file type] Make sure you always *.VDI, if you want to extend the virtual HDD in the future. [Storage of physical hard disk] If you use "Dynamically allocated" the virtual HDD grows in size as you install sutff in the GUEST ( In our case the Ubuntu ). The "Fixed size" will allocate the whole HDD on creation. [File location and size] This tells Oracle VB where to store your virtual HDD. It must be a valid file name. I personally use the name, which I create my VMs with ( "Ubuntu 16.04 WoW x64" ) and the limit which the virtual HDD should never exceed. Now go ahead and click on "Settings" We are now going to configure the system, so click on (System). Tab (Motherboard) Boot order: 1) Optical, 2) HDD Chipset: PIIX3 Pointing device: USB tablet Extended features: Check only (I/O APIC), (Hardware Clock in UTC Time) Tab (Processor) Processor: Give it all CPUs available Execution cap: Never go all the way up to 100. I keep it at 70% Enable PAE/NX checked Tab (Acceleration): Check all the check-boxes and set interface to default. Configuring the (Display) Tab (Screen) Video memory: 128 or 64 MB is quite good Monitor count: How many monitors is it displayed in. I use one of my two. Do not mess with the other tabs Configuring the (Storage). Here you will have a storage tree with IDE and SATA. Go ahead and delete the IDE controller (Right-click->Delete or Del), then add a CD drive to the SATA controller by clicking the CD icon with the green plus sign. A prompt will appear for media selection. Click "Chose Disk" and insert the ISO downloaded in [1]. Configure adapter one of the network tab to bridged if you have a second network card and you want your server to run on it or NAT if you don't. I am gonna use "Intel Pro 1000 MT Desktop (82540EM)" as Ubuntu takes it without any drivers. Now Click "OK" on the settings window to apply your changes to the Ubuntu VM. Start it and follow the Ubuntu installation. until you install the Ubuntu OS from the CD in [1]. When you see the desktop showing for the first time, open the software sources ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu ) and on "Download from" drop down menu chose "Main server" then "Reload". Open the terminal and type "apt-get update". After this you must install VB dependencies. I also have a script for that purpose: https://github.com/dvdvideo1234/UbuntuBatches/tree/master/VirtualBox Download the script to your home folder and start it. It will install all the VB dependencies (Do you want to install dependencies [y/n]? y). Beware there will be restart needed if you chose to run the update manager (Do you want to run force-update [y/n]? y). Now install the VB addition CD provided by Oracle by clicking (Devices->Insert Guest Addition CD Image..) and hit the run button. Authorize it to proceed and follow the console prompt. After the installation you will have bi-directional copy-paste and all needed VB hardware support. We are finally here to install MaNGOS from source. I have a script dedicated to this here ( View the readme.md for further questions ): https://github.com/dvdvideo1234/UbuntuBatches/tree/master/MaNGOS Download the script to your folder of choice ( I will call it "SEVER" ), mark it as executable (sudo chmod +x config.sh) and run it. The title ("TITLE") that you chose will be installed in the "SERVER"/"TITLE". directory. Now follow the console prompt and anwer the questions seen. If you are not using a proxy, answer "Are you using a proxy [n or <proxy:port>] ?" with "n" The script supports vanilla WoW too. I just forgot to update the readme.md After the installation is done. It will compile and install the MaNGOS WoW server. and you must extract and install the maps and vmaps yourself, so please follow the continued MaNGOS project maps installation procedure here: You are practically done ;). Have fun playing in your private server.
