Thread: [Ubuntu] How to compile Trinity Core 2

CREDITS: FeestBijtje

Required:
-Server with Ubuntu Server 9.04
-Knowledge what you will be doing!

------
1. Installing Trinity Core 2
------
Notes:
This is just for the Trinity Core 2 system not the Web/MySQL server.
Do not copy/paste the "$" symbol if you copy the commands.

Alright, I assume you got an Ubuntu Server running and ready to prepare for Trinity Core2.

First step:
Install the required for the build, these files are very essential to almost every build.

$ sudo aptitude install g++ gcc make cmake libmysql++-dev subversion mercurial openssl libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libtool libmysqlclient15-dev patch build-essential mysql-client libreadline5-dev

It will ask you for a password type in your account password, and after that it will ask for a confirmation to install the packets. So press "Y" then hit the "Enter" key.

Once this is installed we create ACE manually!

We are going to make the trinity server account.

$ sudo adduser trinity

Note: Please do enter a secure password but easy to remember for you!

Now we are going to log in on the user "trinity" and go to his home directory!

$ su trinity
$ cd ~/

We do need the latest version of ACE and put it into a proper directory called "ACE".

$ wget [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
$ tar xvzf ACE-5.7.0.tar.gz
$ mv ACE_wrappers ACE

We have downloaded ACE and placed it in the directory "/home/trinity/ACE"

Now we are going to compile ACE version 5.7.0.

$ cd ~/ACE/
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../configure --prefix=/home/trinity/.sys/

Note: The compile syntax is from the help of [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

After the configuration we must compile it!

$ make
$ make install

Note: Depending on the system it can take up to 8 hours!

After the compile we are ready to compile trinity!

Now we got to prepare the directory where we going to put the bins in.

$ cd ~/
$ mkdir build

----This will be your BINARIES folder-----

Now we got to checkout the source!

$ hg clone [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

NOTE: If you want to use an older revision please use:

$ hg clone --rev <revision number> [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Now were going to configure the trinity server.

$ cd ~/trinitycore2
$ cmake -DPREFIX=/home/trinity/build -DACE_LIBRARY=/home/trinity/.sys/lib/libACE.so -DACE_INCLUDE_DIR=/home/trinity/.sys/include/

NOTE: This is still done under user "trinity" and we will not change user!
Note2: The compile syntax is from the help of [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

After you passed this you can build Trinity (takes some what 2 hours).

$ make
$ make install

After this is done you can configure and run Trinity Core 2.
It is located in "/home/trinity/build"

------
2. How to update your Trinity Core 2 Server.
------
Updating is very simple and here I show you what commands to perform.
I assume you are logged in a new session and you are located in the root of your home directory "/home/trinity/".

Like in our last build we checked out with the hg command at "/home/trinity/trinitycore2/" we have to browse there.

cd ~/trinitycore2

Now we are going to check for updates with "hg" command (Really love Mercury).

hg pull

Now we are going to update the files.

hg update

it should display how many files were updated/merged/modified!

Now we can reconfigure Trinity Core 2

cmake -DPREFIX=/home/trinity/build -DACE_LIBRARY=/home/trinity/.sys/lib/libACE.so -DACE_INCLUDE_DIR=/home/trinity/.sys/include/

make

Before you are going to do 'make install' be 100% sure that both realm and core is down!
I always run my server under the screen command so in my case I should do 'screen -r' and terminate those screens.
If you don't know with pid's you are running and want to kill them simply apply

sudo pkill -u trinity

Alright we are going to install the newer version!

make install

NOTE: This might overwrite your config files so please do back them up!
