Building Ryzom Core on GNU/Linux

Building the server with "make_all/build" system

  • Install the following packages:
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev g++ libtool automake autoconf libpng12-dev libjpeg62-dev rrdtool libmysqlclient15-dev flex libxmu-dev
  • If you're using ubuntu 10.04 or 9.10 you may still need to install bison as nel has yacc references:
sudo apt-get install bison

Note: You will also need to install libwww-dev. In Ubuntu lucid this package doesn't seem to exist. You can however use the package from Karmic or download the source.

libwww-dev depends on:

libexpat1-dev (in repository use apt-get)
libwww-ssl0 (not in repository) package from Karmic or
libwww0 (not in repository) package from Karmic

Choose libwww-ssl0 if you want SSL support or libwww0 if you don't need SSL.

  • To install the above manually downloaded packages use dpkg
sudo dpkg -i libwww-ssl0_5.4.0_build2_i386.deb

Do the same for libwww-ssl0 or libwww0, libwww-dev replacing the file name with the correct one for each package. Then use your package manager to install libexpat1-dev

  • Tell where the Ryzom source code directory is:
    Note: Change the below path to the path where you cloned the source.
export RYZOM_PATH="/home/user/ryzom/code/ryzom" 
  • Run the following command:
$RYZOM_PATH/tools/scripts/linux/buildmode static

You will see the following. Be sure "Static linking" line is set "ON".
Compilation modes :

   Debug mode      : OFF

   Static linking  : ON
   Dynamic linking : OFF

   Silent compilation  : OFF
  • 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

Note: If 'make_all' fails at the end, you may need to execute this as 'root'. In ubuntu 10.4 try entering the following, make sure your $RYZOM_PATH is still correct and try running make_all again.

sudo su -
cd $RYZOM_PATH

Note: For those who are failing at this stage in the process, and receiving Error Log messages as detailed in the Forums. cannot find -lnetnet or Error in compiling the following steps worked for me.

- Follow the steps outlined in [[BuildForLinuxCmake]] to build and install the NeL and NeLNS libraries.
- Create a copy of the $RYZOM_PATH/tools/scripts/linux/make_all script, and comment out the entries for BUILD NEL and BUILD NELNS
- Run this modified make_all script

Building the client with "make_all/build" system — DEPRECATED

Note: This method might not work, please follow for steps of the CMake method to build the client

  • 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:
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev libluabind-dev libfreetype6-dev libx11-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libxxf86vm-dev libopenal-dev libalut-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev 
cd $RYZOM_PATH/client
