Building Arcemu on CentOS
CentOS is a popular Linux distribution for servers, which is significantly different than Ubuntu which our Linux documentation assumes you have. Please note that this "guide" is for CentOS 6.0 (and presumably will work with newer too).
Initial Setup
We need to install the tools and libraries that we will be using to build Arcemu. First we need to update/install gcc and g++ compilers.
sudo yum install gcc gcc-c++
After it's done we can install the other tools and libraries we will need.
sudo yum install zlib-devel openssl-devel mysql-devel pcre-devel sudo yum install git
CMake install
We need to install CMake, which sadly doesn't come with CentOS.
- Open up a terminal
- Go to your home directory
cd ~
- Get the CMake package from their site
wget http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-2.8.4-Linux-i386.tar.gz
- Unpack and copy it to /usr/local
sudo tar xvfz cmake-2.8.4-Linux-i386.tar.gz cd cmake-2.8.4-Linux-i386 sudo cp -R cmake-2.8.4-Linux-i386/* /usr/local
MySQL Setup
Now we will have to install MySQL server.
sudo yum install mysql-server
When we are done with that we need to configure it so we can actually use it In order to do that we need to first start it.
sudo /etc/init.d/mysqld start
It will show some messages, which is a nice read, but it will all come down to doing this:
sudo /bin/mysql_secure_installation
Further Installation Steps
From now on, the steps should be the same as in the main guide, so you might as well return to that page.
