View source for Building Ryzom Client On Archlinux

== General ==

This page applies for Archlinux. To compile Ryzom client under Mac OS X, please check this page : [[Building Ryzom Client On Mac OS X]]. For Debian-based GNU/Linux distributions, check [[Building Ryzom Client On Debian]].

This tutorial will only cover a dynamically linked build of the client ; if you want to build a static version, I highly recommend doing this on a debian stable, as Archlinux rolling release model and uptodate libc6 makes it a very bad choice for a static version usable by everyone.

Lines starting with a $ are meant to be run as a regular user (with sudo rights)

== Getting ryzom Dependencies ==

First, let's make sure everything is up to date :
 $ sudo pacman -Syu
Make sure we have everything needed to build an executable :
 $ sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel
Let's get the dependencies available in arch official repo :
(NOTE : i'm using lua52 here, if you want to use lua51/lua53 you can, but you'll need to change the luabind repo URL later)
 $ sudo pacman -S mercurial autoconf automake cmake libtool bison freetype2 curl libx11 libxxf86vm openal libvorbis libogg libxml2 libpng libjpeg lua52

== Compiling luabind ==

Unfortunately, luabind isn't available in arch official repo, so we'll need to build it ourself.
First, download luabind's dependency we can find in the official repo :
 $ sudo pacman -S git unzip
Then, we need to build boost-build, a luabind dependency (not in official repo either) :
 $ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/boost-build.git
 $ cd boost-build
 $ makepkg -si

Finally, we can build luabind : (Note : if you downloaded lua51 or lua53 earlier, change the repo URL here by lua51/lua53bind.git)
 $ cd ~
 $ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/lua52bind.git
 $ cd lua52bind
 $ makepkg -si

== Getting ryzom code ==
 $ cd ~
 $ hg clone https://bitbucket.org/ryzom/ryzomcore
 $ cd ryzomcore
 $ hg update -c compatibility-develop

If you need to update the code later, just type :
 $ hg pull && hg update

== Building ryzom code ==
(Assuming you are in the ryzomcore folder you got in [[#Getting ryzom code]])
 $ mkdir build && cd build
 $ cmake -DWITH_RYZOM_CLIENT=ON -DWITH_STATIC=ON -DWITH_STATIC_DRIVERS=ON -DWITH_DRIVER_OPENGL=ON -DWITH_QT=OFF -DWITH_NEL_TESTS=OFF -DWITH_RYZOM_SERVER=OFF -DWITH_NEL_SAMPLES=OFF -DWITH_SNOWBALLS=OFF -DWITH_NEL_TOOLS=OFF -DWITH_RYZOM_TOOLS=OFF -DWITH_RYZOM_PATCH=ON ../code
# replace -n with number of proc
 $ make -j4 ryzom_client

=== Play ryzom ===

Copy the bin/ryzom_client executable in your ryzom folder (if you are using ryzom installer, it's in ~/.local/share/Ryzom/ryzom_live/). I recommend changing the file name to ryzom_client_compiled or something, or it will replace itself with a patched version everytime you run it (assuming you didn't disabled the patch at compilation), and change the executable your profile use (or directly change the value "client_filename_linux" in your server configuration, in ryzom_installer.ini)

That's it !
