How to install manaserv on Windows in 10 steps

Post by vatarus »

Hello!
I offer a small algorithm compile and run the server. Check for yourself :)

1. Install Git for Windows (http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list).
2. Install Code:Blocks 12.11 without MinGW (http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/).
3. Install TDM-GCC compiler suite for Windows. At the moment, the current version is tdm-gcc-4.7.1-2-MinGW/SJLJ (http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/download).
4. Clone the source code from the repository, using Git or by downloading the Zip file from the https://github.com/mana/manaserv.
5. Download the required libraries from repository (https://github.com/mana/mana-mingw-libs). Place the library in the MinGW installation folder.
6. Download the SQlite3 precompiled Binaries for Windows (http://www.sqlite.org/download.html).
7. Open the Code:Blocks projects (accountserver.cbp and gameserver.cbp) and compile them.
8. Copy all the libraries (DLL) into the same folder where accountserver.exe and gameserver.exe.
9. Setup database, using SQLite command-line shell or GUI soft such a SQLite Administrator (http://sqliteadmin.orbmu2k.de/).
10. Configure the configuration file (manaserv.xml) and run Server (start accountserver.exe and gameserver.exe).

Of course, the run time of this algorithm may be questions and minor problems, but the answers are there in this forum.

And... Of course, more information can be found at http://doc.manasource.org/compile_manas ... ource.html.
