Rebuilding from GIT

[jdoran]

I have been away from EQEMu for a while now, and wanted to rebuild from GIT. I cloned the repository, and believe I have all of the dependencies installed.

I am running into an old problem.

I am running under Fedora 29, and have lua 5.3.5 installed (with lua-devel etc)
I get stuck building luabind/lua502.hpp.

The only thing I can find on the topic is an old post of mine from 2014, where I installed lua-compat and was able to build. But I have no record of what I did back then.

Given that this builds for everyone else, would someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

An example of a typical error:

[ 30%] Building CXX object libs/luabind/CMakeFiles/luabind.dir/src/class.cpp.o

                 from /usr/include/lua.h:16,

I found what I did earlier. It was a pain to track down, but I edited the CMakeCache.txt and added the LUA 5.1 paths manually. I'm sure there is a better way to do it, but I don't use cmake for my own projects and don't know my way around the files.

//Path to a file.
LUA_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/usr/include/lua-5.1

//Lua Libraries
LUA_LIBRARIES:STRING=/usr/lib64/liblua-5.1.so;/usr/lib64/libm.so

//Path to a library.
LUA_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/lib64/liblua-5.1.so

cmake -I (or i?) for interactive mode, then say yes to advanced configuration/settings

Thanks, I'll clone into a new folder and try that workflow.

While I'm thinking of it, where are the databases obtained?

I see the PEQ quests on GitHub.

The old Google Docs pages are gone, sadly.

Do people just use the binary installer, and then clone over the source?

For configuration management, I prefer to have the databases loaded separately.

PEQ's database is at http://edit.peqtgc.com/weekly/

Perfect! Thanks again.
