Dev Kit [everything you need to build EQEmu]

[opyrus]

After finding out the hard way how hard it is to setup and try and build EQEmu my self ive made this Dev Kit. The kit comes with EQemu source 1110,VC++2005 Web Installer,all required linking files, and a setup guide. The guide lists exacly how to setup everything all the way up to axualy compiling. The Kit is 68.6Meg and a self extracting rar file it should be extracted and placed in to C:/EQEmu just like a server would be. The kit is easy to update simply paste the latest source over the current files and if you wish to update any of the other required LINK files you can paste them in as well.

Sounds interesting. I went ahead and downloaded it. What does the exe do exactly? I was expecting a zip file or something.

If this thing does what it says, it should be very useful to the community!

Oh, and do you think you could have squeezed a couple more ads in your site somewhere? :P

I follow the directions up until the compiling part.

So I added the Dependency folder to the VC++ directory, also says to include files and library files (which I assume is just all the files in the folder?)

Then the next step says to change debug to Release then build.

Problem is after I add the dep folder to directory I don't see any options anywhere to let me to even debug.

I feel like I am missing a step if you could clarify further would be helpful.

You need to add it IN VC like this...
Open VS2005 Express:
From the Tools drop down menu, select Options...
Expand the "Projects and Solutions" tree and select "VC++ Directories"
In the right window from the "Show Directories for" drop down menu select the following items and add the paths below:
Executable files: Path to where you put the files
Include files: Path to where you put the files
Library files: Path to where you put the files

I really hate to sound like an idiot, but I tried setting up a server a month or so ago, only to have errors in the prompt. So here I am trying this road instead. Anywho, down to the guts--may I get a clarification of the 'include files' and 'library files' and where abouts they might be? I don't want to load the wrong files and be sitting here for five hours trying to make files that aren't supposed to work, work.

Thanks.

When you ran the installer, it probablly made a sub folder in c:\eqemu
called eqemu (like mine did). The folder you want it to point to is
C:\EQEmu\EQEmu\Dependancys

Your folders may be different, but in eqemu\eqemu\ are all the source files from the installer

Ok, am i insane or is the kgb package ridiculously slow to extract? Is it just me? I know I can rar a 5 gb iso into 100mb parts in about 25-30 minutes (medium compression). i've tried it on two different machines (pretty much the same hardware - 3.0ghz dual core, 2gb ram), sata I drives and they've both taken over 8+ hours to extract!

Thanks, I see what I did wrong now and corrected it.

So I followed your instructions, put the the dependency folder in the 3 locations.

What do I do now to release and then build?

The instruction say the tab where it gives to option to release should be useable, but its greyed out for me.

Thanks.
