How to compile on Linux?

[carstenhag]

Haven't found any instructions yet, how is this done on say a ubuntu x64 installation?

[Elyotna]

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make -jX # where X is your number of cores

Binary is located in build/gamed/ and named "intwars".

You'll have to copy the "filearchives" folder from the client next to your binary in build/gamed/ so that it can load the RAF files.

Thanks. Getting some error:

What I did:

sudo apt-get install cmake g++-mingw-w64
git clone https://github.com/Elyotna/IntWars.git
cd IntWars
cmake ./
make

And then I got this warning and it failed compiling.

So.. you're trying to cross-compile to windows64 from linux64 ? Why do you want to do that ?

[carstenhag]

Sorry, I basically have no idea how to compile/build this stuff. I just want to compile the server to be ran on a ubuntu installation.

[Elyotna]

mingw is an adaption of linux build tools (g++ etc.) to build binaries for windows. The package g++-mingw-w64 will give you a cross-compiler to build windows binaries from a linux context.

Just remove it (apt-get remove g++-mingw-w64) and install the regular g++ (apt-get install g++)

Sorry to be annoying.

Started again on a fresh ubuntu. Installed g++ and cmake.

Got this again: http://i.imgur.com/EfgiOEo.png

Tried it on a fresh fedora 20 x64 system (installed gcc, gcc-g++, cmake) and it didnt work either (got the same exact error).

It seems like you're running out of memory. Try to increase your swap size (or the memory itself).

@Yaakushi Used a 1GB RAM vps now, it worked. gcc alone used like 350 MB and I only had ~150 free on the other one. Seems like I have no swap yet, I have to look into setting that up.
