How to Compile mangos under a linux cli environment

[mrmr]

The following is a tutorial for compiling MaNGOS on a Linux-Based OS from the cli...
...so, if you're not "good" with *nix, this guide is not suited for you!

I'll try to help you installing mangos with your limited-user privileges.

Required Software:

• A Linux-Based Operating System
• GCC 3.3 and above (suggested latest) (using: GCC 4.2.2)
• make (using: make 3.81)
• libtool (using: libtool 1.5.24)
• automake (1.5 and above. Suggested latest one) (using: automake 1.10)
• autoconf (using: autoconf 2.61)
• glibc (using: glibc 2.7 - install headers too)
• mysql 4.1 or above (suggested 5) (using: mysql-server 5.0.51)
• OpenSSL (using: 0.9.8g-2 - install headers too )
• subversion (using: subversion 1.4.5)
• zlib (using: zlib 1.2.3)

In order to get a running mangos you'll need to install all the above, before proceding.
(you could need python and some python's libs too...just check ./configure output to get a hint on what you need)

Now, let's begin...
NOTE: you need to change [user] with your user!!!
You need to get latest src mangos' tree from svn:

• Create a new directory on your hard drive. For example: "/home/[user]/src/mangos"
• execute this line: svn checkout https://mangos.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mangos/trunk /home/[user]/src/mangos
• (optional) retrive "scripts" package you like and install it in the right spot.
  Instruction provided for every "scripts" package (read the README)

Time for the compile!!!

• Create a new directory on your hard drive. For example: "/home/[user]/opt/mangos"
• from a terminal browse to /home/[user]/src/mangos (aka cd /home/[user]/src/mangos)
• execute: autoreconf --install --force
• execute: ./configure --prefix=/home/[user]/opt/mangos --enable-cli --enable-ra
• execute: make
• execute: make install

Congratulation...your LATEST mangos is compiled now...and placed in /home/[user]/opt/mangos

Remember to edit configuration files in /home/[user]/opt/mangos/etc in order to get it working

P.S.
this guide doesn't cover how to set up your database or how to extract dbcs or maps/vmaps (you need to place them in /home/[user]/opt/mangos/share)
You need all of these if you want to have a "running" mangos.
If needed i could cover Mysql and Scripts steps...just ask me...NOT in PM please.

P.P.S.
Credits goes to all the people involved in mangos development...and around...so feel free to tag this as a repost
