I tried following the base TrinityCore setup guide but I ran into a few problems like CMake having issues with regards to openssl. I used 1.1.1m and received issues making the build. After that, attempting to compile with Visual Studio was frustrating as well.

I eventually tried using 1.1.1 but I still had problems using Vistual Studio 2019 to compile the code. I feel like I'm missing something?

@AwkwardOrpheus have you tried what is posted here?: #37

I have indeed. I'm not 100% certain on what exact version of open ssl or CMake, mysql that i require.

I'm using mysql 8.0 64bit 1.1.1 OpenSSL CMake 3.14 BOOST 1.64

All are 64bit. I also run into this occasional error with CMake. I've tried multiple versions of CMake to avoid it, to no avail

Beyond that, I added the required binaries manually for BOOST but though i built with no errors, i still had struggles compiling it in Visual Studio

Can you re-install OpenSSL-64 like that:

And download boost_1_67_0-msvc-14.1-64.exe from: https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries/1.67.0/boost_1_67_0-msvc-14.1-64.exe/download

Hi. The CMake process is finishing, however I do receive this error during the build. Not sure if it's part of the problem I'm facing next.

Beyond this step when I'm building in Visual Studio 2017 x64 I find that the build has plenty of errors while compiling. I clean it before attempting to build but I still run into many issues with errors.

Here is a list of the errors I get https://i.imgur.com/vbMcepd.png

Thank you so much for helping me by the way, I appreciate the patience so much!

Have you change the Boost Environment to: C:/local/boost_1_67_0 ?

I have indeed. I feel like there might be something missing in Visual Studio. CMake is finishing the build as far as I can tell

Same, you're good to go dude, just install 1_64_0 and set the environment to C:/local/boost_1_64_0. The compiler should build without any problems.

[AwkwardOrpheus]

I'm really sorry for the trouble, but it didn't seem to build still.

The build was a success! Thank you so much for assisting me!

I know this isn't much related, I tried to do the tutorial in TrinityCore explaining setting up the database, though that showed an automated process I've noticed this project does not have. How would I go about adding the database to avoid crashing?

[dufernst]

@AwkwardOrpheus You need to configure 4 databases: auth/char/world/hotfix and run their respective base SQL files: https://github.com/dufernst/LegionCore-7.3.5/tree/master/sql/base

Then apply the relevant updates to their respective databases, with the ordering found in the filename (e.g. 0001 -> 0002 -> 0003 -> etc): https://github.com/dufernst/LegionCore-7.3.5/tree/master/sql/updates

[TomPratchios]

Haven't wanted to create a new thread, but I'm at the point where, having installed MySQL server 5.7, and Boost 1.64, that I get 2 errors when attempting to build.

Both bnetserver and worldserver throw LNK1104 errors. LNK1104 cannot open file 'libboost_system-vc141-mt-1_64.lib'

I've added a separate Linker property to my boost stage directory, but still no dice.

If you have any suggestions to offer I'd love to hear them. Thanks!

[dufernst]

You might using a build type that won't work with the boost setup you have. If you are building Debug try Release or ReleaseWithDebugInfo or the other way around @TomPratchios .

[TomPratchios]

Thanks, @dufernst - I was doing RelWithDebug, switched to Debug, and got the same failure. So switched to Release and got the same failure as well.

I built the boost libraries in both 32/64 bit flavors in release as well as debug versions for 140-143. And to be honest, having the builds fail with one error each is the closest I've been to success.

If it matters, I'm using VS2022 but have compilers back to 14.0 installed. Tried it under VS2019 and didn't get any further. Have tried targeting 141, 142, and 143. And I seem to get the same failures under whichever IDE I use, no matter the settings.

I appreciate your input, and will see what else I can try.

Cheers.

EDIT: switched all the way down to VS 14 (2017) and I only get MYSQL errors now (5.7 installed/linked).
