Debian Installation attempt

hmmm, I ran make clean first and that seemed to go ok.

eqemu@server:~/server/EQEmu-0.7.0-1043-source$ make depend
make: *** No rule to make target `depend'.  Stop.
eqemu@server:~/server/EQEmu-0.7.0-1043-source$

I see this a lot also... Is that working as intended?

client.cpp:1203: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions

Go into each directory example;
'cd zone'
then make the executable for zone

Ok, im starting to find things I missed in earlier setups. The wiki never really tells you where to put the source file, but it's quite obvious that they need to be in the source folder. I was tired when I was setting it up last night. I'm going to play around with it and report back with success or failure. Thanks a lot for your help

I'll still need to do this right? or should I just move the files myself?

directories will need to be edited of course

cd /home/eqemu/server
ln -s ../source/EQEmu-0.7.0-1118/utils/defaults/* .
ln -s ../source/EQEmu-0.7.0-1118/utils/patch_* .
ln -s ../source/EQEmu-0.7.0-1118/utils/cleanipc
ln -s ../source/EQEmu-0.7.0-1118/world/world
ln -s ../source/EQEmu-0.7.0-1118/zone/zone
ln -s ../source/EQEmu-0.7.0-1118/EMuShareMem/libEMuShareMem.so
ln -s ../source/EQEmu-0.7.0-1118/eqlaunch/eqlaunch

Link to where ever your executables will be, or you can just copy them over to your server directory

Wow, i'll think twice before updating to new versions after this... It's sooo much easier to update on Windows.

The server completely locking up and needing to reboot every couple of compiles is fun too :(

It's not that bad, just you need to get used to Linux, if it's you first day with Linux, then the whole picture is new to you and it will all seem confusing.
I can assure you, the more you play around with Linux, the further away you'll drift from windows. If you really want a nice server, then Linux is the way to go.
There are a few things I miss from windows and still keep a windows PC for that reason. One is Everquest client runs 100% better there. Also I really like some of the GeorgeS tools, which I haven't been able to make fully funtional under Wine Xwindows.
Wine is really progressed so much, there is little I can't get to run with it (Wine runs windows apps under Linux.
So tell me, do you have your Linux Xwindows working and if so, is it KDE? ( I might be able to make it a bit easier if you do).
