DreamLand MUD developer instructions

Русский | English

---

Tested on clean Ubuntu 18.04/20.04 and gcc-9. You can either follow these instructions and create a local build environment, or build a ready-to-use Docker container, as described in dreamland_docker README file.

(optional) Install gcc-9 compiler

For Ubuntu 18.04 environments that have gcc-7 by default use the following steps to upgrade the compiler to version 9.3:

add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
apt update
apt install gcc-9 g++-9

After that you can either add export CXX=g++-9 to your bash profile, or make this a default compiler on the system:

update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-9 60 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-9

Install build and dev tools

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y git g++ gcc make automake libtool bison flex gdb telnet db-util
sudo apt-get install -y locales && locale-gen uk_UA && update-locale

Install dependency libraries

sudo apt-get install -y libcrypto++-dev libjsoncpp-dev libdb5.3 libdb5.3-dev libdb5.3++ libdb5.3++-dev zlib1g zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libfl-dev
