EQEmu on Debian 6 within vSphere 5.0 (ESXi) 12-17-2011

I like Bitvise Tunnlier for connecting to a headless Linux box as it includes both an SSH terminal session and SSH file transfer.

What does this mean?

[sorvani]

iptables is a firewall. always a good idea to have a solid firewall configured.

   zone.o entity.o mob.o client.o client_process.o npc.o net.o spawn2.o attack.o hate_list.o \
...

So is this list where bot.o and botspellsai.o go?

And if so, do I just add them on the end of the list?

The last line you posted doesn't include any directories. They are filenames. You add the two bot filenames in that list, anywhere you like as long as you follow the rules for how makefiles work. I recommend right after QuestParserCollection.o, put a single space between each name and do not add a carriage return anywhere.

Thanks lerxst, I appreciate you guys answering my linux questions.

When I run this:

apt-get -y install linux-image-2.6.32-5-686-bigmem linux-headers-2.6.32-5-686-bigmem make

I get this:

E: Unable to locate package linux-image-2.6.32-5-686-bigmem
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-image-2.6.32-5-686-bigmem'
E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-2.6.32-5-686-bigmem
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-2.6.32-5-686-bigmem'

I tried Google to just learn more about it, but my search-fu was not powerful enough (I am trying to really learn it, as opposed to just getting quick plug and play answers).

Anyway, can someone please help me here.

Since this guide was written a while ago it refers to an old version of the kernel. You would want whatever the current version is.

Compile EQEmu
Still as eqemu
Code:
cd source
cp -r ../eqemu/trunk/EQEmuServer/* ./


When trying to run the cp -r command it's giving me a bunch of Permission denied.... And I am su'ed so I'm kinda confused on why.

It's been a long time since I have gone through a new server setup, but this is the guide I always followed. I have tried several times today and I keep getting stuck at the compile stage. The error is this

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

Sounds like your cmake process didn't create the needed files. Looking at the date of this guide, I don't think it has the cmake instructions.

Yeah, the guide doesn't use cmake so cmake hasn't even been installed... I will try that out, but I might be in rough shape if I have to start deviating from the guide at all. That guide used to be perfect.

Any luck with using this guide with CMake? Recent post as of last month so I would hope someone could point in the right direction

Actually I found what I was looking for if someone wants to update the Wiki and post ...

#aptitude install cmake

$ cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -Wno-dev -i .

[ accepted all the defaults ]

$ make
