How to set up TrinityCore
A lead in to other guides, explaining how to create .sln files
Programs Needed
MySQL server (Community Edition. You don't need to use this as your MySQL server, you just need Microsoft SQL installed for CMake to function)
.NET Framework 3.5
CMake 2.8.2 GUI for Windows
OpenSSL 1.0.0a for Windows
Open the CMake GUI.
Browse to your Trinity folder.
Browse to where you would like to create your .sln files.
Now click configure to choose your .sln file type.
(For windows users, choose a version of Visual Studios)
Then click finish.
Click Configure.
Click Generate.
Now go to your build folder and you will find the project file.
Now you go find an out of date guide on this forum and just substitute the project file for the one you created.
Hope this helps out!
