The Mana World Forums

I think that a lot of the players want to know how to compile the new server to see how it is coming along (including me). If one of the programmers or someone who has compiled it could write an at least somewhat detailed guide of how to compile would be greatly appreciated by many.

Just get the devpak and compile it with codeblocks.

Yeah! but how?

On Linux:

./configure
make
su
make install

Maybe I will write a fool-proof step-by-step compilation guide for windows users one day.

There isn't documentation shipped with the sources as there is with the client?

For those of you, who would never compile yourself because of too less knowledge of your operating system, ive made some screenshots from the current trunk client on the new server to show you whats goin on there. So you dont need to compile yourself, and even if you could get it to work with a manual written by the devs, it would be useless because you have to figure out more to fill it with content than "simply" compiling it yourself.

When the new server will be released, i guess there will be a compiled windows version too, so you would get it anyway - easily with click and run

Documentation is being published to be useful, not to make the author famous. If something has no documentation then write the documentation, without making polls.
You may make a poll, if the people found your documentation useful. Linux kernel has 10 mb of documentation, in a source tree of 40 mb. I can't imagine a poll for all of 973 files there.

Regards.

Ok, sorry. I didn't mean for the poll to be a bad thing. I'm still getting used to the forums .I realize your point and will think more before I put in a poll.

Hey , i want it! But i can't understand how to compile it. Do i have to wait till it will be auto-compiled?

PS: sorry if i say things that doesn't matter but i want it
