ascent+linux=true?

[dEnnA]

how can i make ascent work on linux?
I've imported the database to mysql but I've seen somewhere someone said "you have to compile it yourself"
What did he mean with that?

Thanks in advance

From what I understand, windows platforms can run .exe files however linux platforms cannot use .exe files

Zeo80, what must I download for that?
Is it just "Ascent_Rev2554" I need?

If you have WINE you can run .EXE i dont know if it would work or not.

WINE does not work I am running a Linux Ascent server just use SVN to get it and just compile it then run it from the terminal like this:
1. cd 2_4_stable/bin
2. ./logonserver
3. Make a new session
4. cd 2_4_stable/bin
5. ./ascent

 

[dEnnA]

what svn?
svn://www.emupedia.com/svn/ascent/trunk doesn't work

as SVN still works

 

[dEnnA]

when I enter "svn co -r2554 http://projects.emupedia.com/svn/ascent/trunk" it asks me for a password/login, what shall I write there?

 

[Eddio]

anonymous as username and use the stable release.

It's just more hassle to set it up on Linux, that's all.

 

[Zeo80]

dEnnA with all respect... did you ever hear about Google or read other treats on this forum? I'm missing a bit of initiative... The first link I posted should give you the push in the right direction you needed.

Can anyone make a compile to run Ascent on a linux server because I would like to test it out and see how it runs on my linux server.

 

[dEnnA]

I figured it out now, but now when i try to start the logonserver, I get this:
root@server:/opt/ascent/bin# ./logonserver
Ascent 2.6-TRUNK r2600/Release-Linux (X86) :: Logon Server
==============================================================================

The key combination <Ctrl-C> will safely shut down the server at any time.

sql: Connection failed. Reason was `Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)`

That path to mysqld.sock is wrong, mine is under "/opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock" where should i change to that?

 

[sparks_vfr]

if it helps any I have just built Ascent on Linux, fedora Core 8 All perfect

bel..

 

[dEnnA]

sparks, did you install mysql alone or do you have lampp like me?
I think thats the reason, but I don't know where it gets that path from (/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock)

 

[sparks_vfr]

I just install mysql-server , set the password, installed the db and all sorted

 

[dEnnA]

but since i have xampp (lampp) I already have an mysql server that works, so i dont want another one just for my wow server.

 

[sparks_vfr]

Sorry I can't help you with that one, I never use xampp :sq_yellow

 

[Eddio]

Yeah don't use xamp mysql and you dont need to get compiles for linux because it is so easy in linux to compile.
