* This guide provides instructions for compiling 32-bit Windows server binaries and setting up a local development server *
*** Compile Setup ***
* Verify Environmental Variable %PATH% *
** need to develop criteria
* Required Programs *
Some of the pre-requisits for compiling binaries are the same as running a server.
If you have already installed any of the following, the download and installation requirement should be omitted:
- Visual Studio 2017 (Community Edition) [<a href="https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/older-downloads/">select 2017 community edition</a>]
- MariaDB [<a href="https://downloads.mariadb.org/interstitial/mariadb-10.4.6/winx64-packages/mariadb-10.4.6-winx64.msi/from/http%3A//mirror.nodesdirect.com/mariadb/">download</a>]
- Perl [<a href="https://github.com/EQEmu/eqemu.github.com/raw/master/downloads/ActivePerl-5.12.3.1204-MSWin32-x86-294330.msi">download</a>]
- CMake [<a href="https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/releases/download/v3.14.5/cmake-3.14.5-win64-x64.msi">download</a>]
- Git (see notes under install) [<a href="https://git-scm.com/download/win">download</a>]
- TortoiseGit (optional - see notes under install) [<a href="https://download.tortoisegit.org/tgit/2.8.0.0/TortoiseGit-2.8.0.0-64bit.msi">download</a>]
* Install Visual Studio *
During the install process, double-check the option for c++ command-line compiler. This is required by CMake to determine available compiler options. CMake file generation will fail if this option is not enabled.
Microsoft allows Visual Studio use for a 30-day trial period without registration of the product. Simply create an account at [*process change*] and enter the credentials in Visual Studio when prompted. The account is free and the license is usually valid for 1-2 years.
* Install MariaDB *
** need specifics on what settings to use **
At the end of the installation process, you will be prompted to install HeidiSQL. It is HIGHLY recommended that you install this program.
* Install Perl 5.12.3 (32-bit) *
This installation is self-explanatory. It is recommended that you install in the root directory ("c:\") to avoid possible issues.
* Install CMake *
This installation is self-explanatory.
* Install Git *
This installation is self-explanatory.
Should you wish to download the repository code with no further chance of updating or restoration, this requirement may be omitted.
* Install TortoiseGit (optional) *
This installation is self-explanatory.
If Git is not installed, this installation should be omitted.
* Restart Computer *
At this point, you will want to restart your computer to ensure that all of the %PATH% additions are loaded into memory.
* Acquiring the Code *
At this point, you will need to make a decision on how you want to manage your code.
There are three options:
- Option 1, Retrieve the code as a one-time download (not recommended)
- Option 2, Create a local repository from the parent EQEmulator project that can be updated, managed and maintained (recommended)
- Option 3, Create a local repository from a fork of the EQEmulator project that you manage (recommended only if you want to contribute back to the parent project)
If you choose to create a fork of the EQEmulator repository, you will need to create a [<a href="https://github.com/">github.com</a>] account.
[walk-through for option 2]
* Download Dependencies *
Library dependencies can be downloaded directly from [<a href="https://github.com/EQEmu/eqemu.github.com/raw/master/downloads/WindowsDependencies_x86.zip">here</a>].
Inside of your local code directory, you will need to create a sub-directory called 'dependencies` and unzip the download's contents into it.
* Running CMake *

* Compiling Code *
