Flex error when compiling server on opensuse 12.1 (64bit)

Post by SaultDon »

I have been getting farther when compiling the local server from this guide: http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/How_to_Develop

I keep getting an error from flex:

Code: Select all

cd eathena/
make
...
...
...a bunch of compiling messages...
...
...
[color=#FF0000]lex -o src/map/magic-interpreter-lexer.c src/map/magic-interpreter-lexer.l
flex: Can't use --reentrant or --bison-bridge with -l option
make: *** [src/map/magic-interpreter-lexer.c] Error 1[/color]
I have bison and flex installed (both 32 and 64bit libraries). Lex is also already in my $PATH. Any one have any suggestions?

hm, -l is because it's called by the name 'lex' ... try adding LEX=flex to the make command or whatever.

Code: Select all

make LEX=flex
What version of flex are you using?

I've updated the repository (this will also help Cygwin people, but I don't care about them)

Thanks for the help o11c.

I've got the server up and running and the plan is to use it just for my local area network. There is no planned public access.

I have a laptop ("laptop 1") running the server from user account 'athena'.

Other PCs connected via wired or wireless to the router can connect to the server and play the game using "laptop 1s" local IP address: 192.168.0.105:6901

When I get back on "laptop 1" and use my 'default' user account to launch ManaWorld (remember, this is the laptop that has a separate user account called 'athena' running the server already), I get to the point where it says: "Connecting to character server..." with a progress bar that repeats over and over again.

Nothing happens... But everyone else gets on fine and quick too.

I've tried connecting using either 'localhost' or the direct IP 192.168.0.105 but neither work for me (the laptop running the server...).

I've never done this before (set up a local gaming server) so am green.
I had to create a new user in my linux box (openSUSE 12.1) to run the server because ./eathena.sh start kept telling me that my user couldn't run it because of the 'ulimit -u 10' option in the script.

I run the server by switching to user athena, and running the command:

Code: Select all

./login-server& ./char-server& ./map-server&
So I guess essentially, I would like to connect with 'localhost' and everyone else uses '192.168.0.105'

Is this possible?
I've configured everything according to this walkthrough: http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/ ... a_on_Linux

Code: Select all

From login-server: receiving of 1 GM accounts information.
Map-Server 0 connected: 75 maps, from IP 192.168.0.105 port 5122.
Map-server 0 loading complete.
Connection of the GM (level:99) account 'SaultDon' accepted.
LAN test (result): LAN source.
Account Logged On; Account ID: 0 (GM level 99).
That's what the terminal outputs when I connect, but the screen just stays at the "Connecting to character server..." where nothing happens until I close the program.

Others can log on when they connect to 192.168.0.105, but you get stuck at "connecting to character server?"
If all three servers are running (the fact that you started them doesn't mean they successfully loaded and connected to each other properly), then try verifying the connection (maybe there's a firewall rule?) manually:
"telnet 192.168.0.105 5122" and
"telnet 192.168.0.105 6122"
Those will either connect, get refused, or eventually time out. Connection indicates the server is running and reachable, and we need to look at configs. Refused means the server is not running and is probably not fully configured. Time out means there's something blocking your connection, presumably an iptables firewall rule.

Only with great hackery could you accept connections on two different interfaces (127.0.0.1 is on 'lo0' and 192.168.0.105 is on 'eth0') to the same server, and I strongly suggest you don't pursue that option. Fortunately, there should be no need to.

That's correct. They get in the game, can register accounts, create a character and start leveling up, while I get to watch...
I get stuck using both 'localhost' and '192.168.0.105'.
Here is a paste of the output from starting the server: http://paste.opensuse.org/f94b7ae3

I ran these and here is the output... Looks like a timeout! I get the same timeout when changing the ip to 'localhost'.

I don't know what this means... I followed the walkthrough from http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/ ... a_on_Linux and thought that following those steps would allow me to connect to this server from localhost by default?

Like I said, I know nothing really about this, other than it says to fill out this IP there and forward ports on your firewall. The fact that everyone else can connect means that for me it is a firewall issue?

I read under "General Configuration:
If you are just going to use the server yourself you can enter 127.0.0.1 as the value for all IP addresses. Also, if you have no clue about what ports are or which you will be using, leave the default values as they are.
Isn't that suppose to allow me access using 'localhost' as the IP from the login screen?

Gotcha.

When I run the ladmin command (http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/ ... nistration) on steps 5 and 6, do I replace 'username' and 'password' with my actual username 'SaultDon' and preferred password?

Notice how the "Gender" of SaultDon in that database is "S", or server. S accounts are special purpose accounts used for interserver communication, and should not be attempted to be used from clients.

Create an account through the client if this option is enabled, or through ladmin otherwise. If you need to use ladmin, you do need to replace "username" and "password" with your desired username and password.

Don't forget to forward ports 6122,5122 and sometimes 6901 (for non local) Also you two have lan_support.conf (or something similar) These both should be completed.
