A Comprehensive Guide To Compiling Source Code in C++

[Andromeda]

In this detailed tutorial, I will walk you through the process of compiling source code, explaining where to download it and what is necessary to install the source effectively.

Installing the Source

Step 1: Prepare Your Hosting Environment

You will need a host server that runs FreeBSD version 9.2 or later, and it must have a stable internet connection.

Step 2: Download the Source Code

To begin, you need to obtain the source code. You can download it from the following link:

<!-- Replace with the appropriate link or image -->

Step 3: Upload the Source Code

After downloading the source code, upload it to your host server. It is recommended to place it in the /usr/src directory for ease of future tutorials.

Step 4: Update the Ports Collection

Next, to ensure you install the latest ports, you need to update your ports collection. Run the following command:

If you haven't installed portsnap, this step is necessary for those setting up a host solely for compilation. For users who are compiling on a server already in use, you’ll likely execute this command during MySQL installation, so this download may not be necessary.

Step 5: Install Required Ports

You will need to install several ports, including gmake, makedepend, svn, devil, g++, and python. Execute the following commands one at a time:

a) Install gmake:

If any of these tools are already installed, you can skip that specific installation and move on to the next. Please be patient; for me, it took nearly 8 hours to install everything.

Compiling the Source Code

Once you have made the necessary changes and are ready to compile the source, you will execute the following commands:

To Compile the Game:

You can find the compiled game file in /usr/src/YourSourceDirectory/Server/game, while the database file will be located in /usr/src/YourSourceDirectory/Server/db.

This guide should help you compile the source code successfully. Happy coding!
