[Guide] How to compile TrinityCore, Start to Finish

[myran2]

TrinityCore breaks VC2010 compile all the time. So I'd advise staying with 2008 if you want to be able to compile 99% of their revisions.

There's no problem running TC on a Windows7 x64, you'll still need to compile the sources for 32bit though, because compilation of x64 on windows doesn't work.

You don't really need too much PC power to run a server just for myself. I run my development server on a shitty laptop with 1GB RAM/1.7ghz CPU, and it runs fine just for me.

I think i asked this in some other post aswell, but since i do prefer your tutorial actually, ill ask it here to!
I tried allot of versions of C++ 2008, 2009, 2010, and i keep getting 7 sucessful 3 failed x errors. I mean.. guide itself is really idiot prof so im not sure why do i always keep getting x amount failed and x errors, and not a clean build.
For the record if i wasn't expressing good, it happens when i build the solution. And i do put to Release, and Win32.
Any help or idea would be welcome! +Rep

Place these in C:/program files(x86)/Visual Studio 9.0/VC/lib/

restart VC++

Then do
build --> clean solution
build --> rebuild solution

That link is faulty ;p

derp

try: development_libraries-x86.zip - trinitycore - OpenSSL and MySQL development libraries (win-x86) - thanks to the openssl-for-windows project - Project Hosting on Google Code :P

That worked cheers ;p

Congrats

Great, thanks for the detailed response! I'll try it out this weekend

Now navigate to find your CTDB or TDB sql file

Navicat will now execute your database (this could take a good 20 minutes)

This part is going to take 10 hours, about 5 hours left to go. Any idea why it would take 30x the time you listed? I'm afraid I did something wrong but for now I'm just going to wait for it to finish.

Some computers do it EXTREMELY slowly.
what you can do to make it faster is this:
Open a command prompt (cmd.exe)(run --> cmd)
now do this:

mysql -u root -pMYSQLPASSWORD -D world < MYSQLQUERY

mysqlquery is the full path to the sql file you're executing

that should shorten the time it takes by quite a bit.

Thanks for that! It took about 30 seconds compared to the 10 hours it was going to take. Yay! I finished the rest of the setup without issues and now I'm up and running . Now I get to work on my machinima!

[myran2]

Good luck with your machinima then

One thing that you didnt add to First post, and well it's not really needed but hey, it can save someone from messing up, is maybe but those libraries link together with C++ and let people know they need to restart windows before compiling ;<

[myran2]

I was under the impression that you only needed to restart VC++, not windows as a whole.
