ace Installing ACE on CentOS 7

Building MaNGOS on Linux requires ACE libraries. I could not find information on installing those here, so I will make a short HOWTO (copied from ACE documentation)

1. Make a folder for ACE in your preferred location ( I use /opt)

mkdir /opt/ace && cd /opt/ace

2. Download and unpack ACE

wget http://download.dre.vanderbilt.edu/previous_versions/ACE-6.4.7.tar.gz
tar -xvf ACE-6.4.7.tar.gz

3. Add needed environment variables

cat >> /etc/profile <<EOF
export ACE_ROOT=/opt/ace/ACE_wrappers
EOF
source /etc/profile

4. Add the desired headers

cat > /opt/ace/ACE_wrappers/ace/config.h <<EOF
#include "ace/config-linux.h"
EOF
cat > /opt/ace/ACE_wrappers/include/makeinclude/platform_macros.GNU <<EOF
INSTALL_PREFIX = /usr/local
include $(ACE_ROOT)/include/makeinclude/platform_linux.GNU
EOF

5. Build ACE

cd /opt/ace/ACE_wrappers
make
make install

6. Add the library to the public path

cat > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ace.conf <<EOF
/opt/ace/ACE_wrappers/lib
EOF
ldconfig -v
