Is it okay to use PERL 5.10.1.1008? I don't see a way to download the version you listed unless you have a Business Edition account.

Furthermore, as I am trying to install MySQL, it is saying that it does not support my processor type. Note: I am running an instance of Windows Server 2003 on my iMac. I had hoped that no issues relating to the processor would present itself, as it is a VM. I guess I can only effectively run this on a x86 machine?

I use Perl 5.10.1.1007 with no trouble.

For MySQL, make sure you download the 32-bit version. It sounds like you may have the 64-bit version.

Dang, you're right. Attention to detail would help me in these things ;)

Thanks for this guide Huppy!

Was working through it yesterday and realized I need to redo some stuff on my server before I continue with my eqemu install. I'll post back with how it goes later this week.

Thank you for posting this! I really hate having to look around when the guides are not actually guiding... but leading me into a world of confusion...

Ok, I've followed this guide to the letter, and running into a problem at step 9. I am getting 1 successful build, and 4 failures. Briefly looked through forums here and I didn't see anything, but was just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction if nothing else?

Well, I guess I forgot to restart comp somewhere in there or something.. thats all I did and it worked just fine this time -.-

Kinda sounds like you're running Perl 5.12.* or have remnants of it left over from an uninstall.

nevermind
 

oops wrong details.

Ok
 

I figured out the problem with SVN, new problem, im getting 2 succeeds, and 3 failures, any idea why this is? was no write up on what to do if that happened.

Can you post the actual errors you get? Otherwise we're just guessing.

5>c:\source\trunk\eqemuserver\ucs\../common/dbcore.h(9) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'mysql.h': No such file or directory
5>chatchannel.cpp
5>c:\source\trunk\eqemuserver\ucs\../common/dbcore.h(9) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'mysql.h': No such file or directory
5>Build log was saved at "file://c:\Source\trunk\EQEmuServer\Build\ucs\Release\Buil dLog.htm"


Another one i just saw ---

5>.\database.cpp(29) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'errmsg.h': No such file or directory ; i get 2 succeeded and 3 failed.

Also ; this is the actual BUILD, the first line went fine with 5 succeeded, its when i do the actual build it does this.

dranovir45 > have you double checked ALL the steps involved with the
"custom" installation of the needed programs (zlib, perl, mysql & 2008 express)
listed in the guide here ? (steps 2,3,4 and 5)
Not sure what OS your using (32 bit or 64).
I have all of those installed on my vista box for my home server and I am
constantly re-compiling, as updates are commited to the svn download.
I have never had these problems compiling at any time, so I am not really
sure why you are having them.

Gotcha
 

Im using a 64 bit, but the files im using are 32 bit as the guide said ; the only thing i didnt really know how to compile was the whole perl thing cus there was no yes or no thing, i just did the command prompt installs, my Zlib i did properly, along with everything else (yes even the SQL) and it seems the error is with the SQL but i know for a fact im downloading EVERYTHING right with it, but ima try one more install thing and if that doesnt work i dont know really. but hopefuly if anything else occurs u will be on for a lil more guidance


does SQL essentials make the differnece in this, i saw you also said for perl it should be "1007" or something but mine is 1008 cus 1007 wasnt available.

You do not want to download "essentials", just the plain mysql
Did you not get asked any installation questions when installing perl ?
Its usually a .bat file to click on and opens a command window, at least the
version I installed did.
