Compiling OTServ 0.7.0 under Linux systems

Installing required packages

Needed packages:

• git
• cmake
• gcc
• boost library
• lua 5.1 library
• gmp library
• libxml2 library
• luajit library (optional)
• mysql library (optional)
• sqlite library (optional)

For instance, if you have Ubuntu or a Debian based distribution you can install all the required packages with these commands using apt-get:

sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake git-core
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev libgmp3-dev liblua5.1-dev libxml2-dev

If you are going to use the default cmake options (it requires mysql, and sqlite), you'll also need the following:

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev mysql-server libsqlite3-dev

If you are using PostgreSQL, then you need:

sudo apt-get install libpq-dev libsqlite3-dev

Downloading the sources

git clone git://github.com/opentibia/server.git
cd server

Configuring

First create a build directory

mkdir build
cd build

Via CMake command line

To use the default cmake options, just run:

cmake ..

Otherwise you can supply some available options like USE_LUAJIT, USE_MYSQL, USE_SQLITE, USE_CPP11, USE_PCH. Example:

cmake -DUSE_LUAJIT=On -DUSE_MYSQL=On -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Performance ..

If you do not have the libraries installed in the default locations, use -DCMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH= and -DCMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH to specify the search paths.

Via CMake graphical interface

You can use cmake-gui to configure before bulding, you will be able to change and check build options in the interface.

cmake-gui ..

Compiling

Get out of the build folder, which should put you in the server folder and begin the compilation with make.

cd ..
make -j2

TIP: If you have multiple cores, use -j4 option to build using 4 cores.

Running

To run the server, just execute the otserv file.

cd ..
./build/otserv
