[Guide]Run a Private Server on Linux!

[Pedregon]

Old Guide - Should Work

Required Software for this Guide -

* A Linux Operating System
* GCC 3.3 and above
* Make
* Libtool
* Automake 1.5 and above
* Autoconf
* Glibc & glibc-dev
* Mysql 5.0 & libmysql++-dev)
* OpenSSL 0.9.8d & libssl-dev
* Subversion 1.3.2 and above
* Zlibc
* Python libs.

For Ubunto users -


1. Make sure your system if up to date.

2. Open Synaptic as admin user go to the menu System -> Administration -> Synaptic
Search for every needed component and add a tick on their left. Agree when Synaptic asks you if you want to install the dependence files.
3. Click on 'Apply'. It will take several minutes depending on your internet connection

1. Create a new directory on your hard drive.Like this "/home/[user]/sources/mangos"
In console execute this line:
Code:

SVN checkout -


https://mangos.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mangos/trunk /home/[user]/sources/mangos5. Create a new folder: /home/[user]/sources/mangos/bin

2. Open the console and browse to /home/[user]/sources/mangos
Execute this line: Create a new folder: /home/[user]/sources/mangos/bin

3. Open the console and browse to /home/[user]/sources/mangos

Then execute :



./configure --prefix=[working path] --sysconfdir=[working path]/etc --with-python --enable-cli --enable-ra --datadir=[working path]
Then this line:

make

And eventually:

make install


4. The files needed to run MaNGOS are now in your "[working dir]" directory. You will run ManGoS in that directory (otherwise ManGoS won't read config files and data)

5. You need toconfigure MaNGOS before running the server.

Here are some batch files to execute mangos_bin,but they all need to be in the same directory!

You'll need to edit the bat file configs also.

First of all, that's for linux. Not for Mac. I believe Mac's are slightly different.

Second, that's for Mangos. In my opinion, Mangos should only be used for WotLK (only one that supports it so far).

Arcemu's website wiki might have a guide on how to compile their emu on Mac...

IMO mangos is way better then ArcEmu.
