I was following this
https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/wiki/Linux-server-setup.
I am running a brand new Ubuntu installation and had to do a few of the installs to get cmake, make, build-essential package, etc.
I think I picked either dedug or relwithdebug.
Does this answer the "what configuration" question or do you need to know something else?
