Serwer on Linux

[b0ris]

Hello,
after a few years I decided to return to the old love which is pol.
I am sorry to say that after a few days of fighting with linux I fell.
I even had a problem with setting it to windows, it was surprisingly successful.

a few years ago, the first contact with linux and freebsd and pol core96 / 97 and no configuration problems.
Now Ubuntu 18, CentOS 7, Debian 9, I can't compile the source on any of them. And when I try to run the finished core (downloaded from the site), some files are still missing. e.g. libmysqlclient21 or others. Even though I installed the missing packages, still nothing. I rummaged through various forums and solved topics during these few days, none of them helped me.

I don't want to put it on windows because it's more resource-hungry.

Maybe there will be someone who has a moment to enter their server configuration. I mean gcc, cmake, openssl, system, what packages.
Alternatively, he will try to put on a fresh installation and describe step by step what he was doing.
From such a tutorial.

Greetings

[Nando]

Hi b0ris, sorry to hear the experience has been so bad. Which version of POL are you compiling?

On GitHub, our action builds for (I think) Ubuntu 20.04 here: https://github.com/polserver/polserver/ ... /build.yml

Your compilers need to have a recent version. For gcc, that's at least 9 and for clang 8. Either works. On Ubuntu 18, you might need to search how to update to a recent version of the compiler.

If you already have CMake installed (at least 3.16.2) and Ninja (1.9.0), the important commands for the first time compilation are:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev

cd bin-build
cmake .. -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build . --config Release -- -j 2

After that you should be able to compile with:

Code: Select all

cd bin-build
cmake --build . --config Release -- -j 2

If you want to create a nice package like those we have for download, you need to run target "package":

Code: Select all

cd bin-build
cmake --build . --config Release --target package

If those don't work, post the errors here and we can go through them together.

Alternatively you can also come online on Discord: the invitation for Discord is on the "Chat" section of the homepage or the top section of the boards.

when i download

from page and try to start ./pol

./pol: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.21: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

binary is from ubuntu 20, i have 18 on one vps. second vps still compile with ubuntu 20.x

You can try to install pkg-config and run the build again:

Code: Select all

apt-get install pkg-config

Cmake is complaining that it can't find that tool

[b0ris]

This morning I installed debian 11 on vps. Everything went much faster because I already had everything that was required in the repository.
I didn't have to compile anything from the source and it took me maybe 20 minutes. Not as before, over 3 hours

now it looks like this. after

Code: Select all

cmake --build. --config Release - -j 2

I did not cope with the problem, I went the easier way and launched through the wine.
