[Guide] How to compile TrinityCore, Start to Finish

[Strit112]

I did install those files, but I didn't reboot my comp after that. Is it normal that the VC folder doesn't exist? I had to create it myself. Now I'm still getting the error even after rebooting.

Thats NOT normal for the VC folder to not exist, try reinstalling?

Once you’re in.
Create 3 new databases, “World” “Characters” “Realmd”



Do this 2 more times, with “Characters” and “World”

this bit i meant is a little bit un-clear.

Once that’s finished, open “Characters” “execute batch file” navigate to
“SOURCE FOLDER/sql/characters.sql” let that execute, then open “realmd” and execute “SOURCE FOLDER/sql/realmd.sql”

I don't have those sql files... I only have 4 folders (base, create, scripts and updates). I also have one .txt file called CMakeLists.txt.
My treepath is C:\Users\Mark\Desktop\Trinity\sql\ and then the stuff i mentioned above (Trinity is the folder i cloned at the start using tortoiseHG).
Thanks advance for any help!

I have rebooted my comp after doing this, pressed Clean Solution and then Build Solution.
Still getting this error:

10>LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'ssleay32.lib'
10>Build log was saved at "file://c:\Users\Inrego\Desktop\TrinityCore\win\VC90\worldserver__Win32_Release\BuildLog.htm"
10>worldserver - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
========== Build: 8 succeeded, 2 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

that part was out-dated, now you need to do: SOURCE/sql/base/

All I can offer for help is to reinstall VC++ (2009)

[Builtokill]

ahh thanks for that. I have another problem.. i dont have a "bin" folder when I'm looking for the config files. I also searched for the trinityrealm and trinitycore .conf.dist files in a windows search, but all i got was multiple trinitycore.conf.dist.i or trinitycore.conf.dist.in.i.

If you don't have a SOURCE/bin folder, then you haven't compiled the core yet :P

That is just after a new reinstall :/

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

if this step takes a long time for you to finish, you can use this ([Guide] How to compile TrinityCore, Start to Finish) way

This is compiling it is it not? because i've definitely done this.

[Strit112]

Would anyone mind compiling and uploading latest build?

When I launch "TrinityCore&Script VC90" In VS C++ 2010, I get an unavaliable error for all the databases.

This is the error I get for Project "Ace":

Converting project file 'C:\Users\"Myusername"\Desktop\Trinity\externals\ace\win\VC90\ace.vcproj'.
Failed to upgrade platform 'x64'. Please make sure you have it installed under '%vctargetspath%\platforms\x64'

I said in the guide to only use VC2008. you also need the paid version of VC++ to compile for x64.

The point of this guide is to do that on your own :P

Thats setting up the database, compiling is when you do the stuff in Visual Studio

[Xerosis]

Hey, sorry to bother you again.

After I compile the databases, I'm getting two errors:

Error	1	fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'libeay32.lib'	authserver	authserver

and

Error	11	fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'ssleay32.lib'	worldserver	worldserver

And I have uploaded the extra files you gave that go by those names into my Visual Studios "Lib" in both 32bit release and 64bit release.

I am also getting these warnings for various files: (About 9 files)

Warning	2	warning LNK4221: no public symbols found; archive member will be inaccessible	ScriptPCH.obj	game

Although I dont think those need much worry correct?

Thank you for your time,
Xerosis

[myran2]

the warnings dont mean anything.
The errors mean that you still haven't placed the files ending in .lib from the archive into your VCINSTALL/vc/lib folder.

[Builtokill]

im pretty sure i have compiled =/
