Linux install script issue

[Porcupines22]

The process of using the install script seems pretty simple, but I am not sure what exactly happened.

after running the install.sh, everything appears to be set up properly. the databases work etc, so I went to try starting the server and I just get a massive amount of file not found messages.

So I do some investigating and I see that the start script is trying to use a series of orphaned symbolic links.

Basically the symlinks point to eqemu/server_source/Server/build/bin/xyz
but the 'bin' folder does not exist. I suppose something didn't copy correctly.

This is on a fresh install of centos server in a vm.

Hey, I know I posted this because I was having problems, but I think I was able to figure out what happened.

It appears the make never ran during the install, so that's why there was no bin folder. CMake left an error log which was... less than elucidating, but got me thinking something went on with make.

I manually ran "cmake -i", went through the questionnaire and it terminated in error saying I don't have OpenSSL. So I did "yum install openssl-devel" (which is package for CentOS) and ran through cmake/make without a hitch.

After that I simply copied the output to the appropriate folder and everything generally appears to be working now.

I just ran into this same error and same solution on CentOS 7.6.1810
