Building Ryzom Core on GNU/Linux¶

Building the server with "make_all/build" system¶

• Install the following packages:

apt-get install libxml2-dev g++ libtool automake autoconf libpng12-dev libjpeg62-dev rrdtool libmysqlclient15-dev bison

• Tell where the Ryzom directory is:

export RYZOM_PATH="/home/user/code/ryzom" 

• Run the following command:

$RYZOM_PATH/tools/scripts/linux/buildmode static

Be sure it's "ON" on the "Static linking" line.

• Run the following script that will compile NeL and Ryzom Core Services. It's a very slow process because it compiles lot of things. You can follow the process and see errors in $RYZOM_PATH/log/

$RYZOM_PATH/tools/scripts/linux/make_all

• Check Configuring and running Ryzom Core on GNU/Linux to see what you can do next.

Building the client with "make_all/build" system¶

• If you already compile the server with the method above, you just have to continue the process to compile the client

• Install the following packages:

apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev libwww-dev libluabind-dev

cd $RYZOM_PATH/client

make update

make all

---

Other methods¶

Autoconf¶

First, compile and install NeL using autoconf/automake :

cd code/nel
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

You can put some parameters for configure such --prefix=/usr if you want install it to /usr (for a list of all parameters use ./configure --help).

Once NeL is compiled and installed in both static and shared, you can compile the client using static NeL libs.

cd code/ryzom
make update
make

You should have a binary file "client" in code/ryzom/client/src which has to be copied in the same folder as client.cfg and other client datas.

CMake¶

You should take a look at BuildForLinuxCmake
