DOL on Linux with Mono3

[Leodagan]

New DOL SVN revision : 3386, now include "special cases" for Unix Typed system when running Xbuild !

Should work with a fully managed SQLite.DLL because most of unix'es provide their own sqlite3.so...

No more fixes are needed to build Dawn of Light.sln, you can launch your shard straight away, just fixing the ColoredConsoleAppender from log4net

yay

Updated the First post to match the steps required for this new Revision. (I would kill for Wiki on dolserver.net...)

Added a small explanation on how to install "Windows Code Page 1252" charset, this error come back on most of my "First Setup", so I think this should be needed for most Linux Users...

After some try outs on Mono 3.2 with SQLite library it looks like the latest Mono only advertise .NET 4.5 capabilities, so we should be careful around using 4.5.1 or 4.5.2 (that doesn't apply to third-party libraries which mostly have mono compatible versions...)

Leodagan great work

SVN Update 3407 (and Previous)

Conditional Framework requirement for Unix systems (Mono doesn't understand 4.5.1 and doesn't need it for the SQLite driver as it use an other DLL in managedOnly that was build for it...)
Fixed GameServerScript Compiler catching its own "obj" temporary folder to recompile file in there after a fresh start !
Update in the "copy" command at the end of GameServerScript build script to copy needed XML auto package in the proper directory.

For those having trouble checking their Locale on DOL + Mono (you really need to mimic Windows CP1252 to have a working server for fresh DAOC Client...)

Using this command you can check that your Mono Runtime is correctly obeying the LANG setting you use :

Code: Select all

LANG=en_US.CP1252 csharp -e 'Console.WriteLine("Current Culture : {0}, Current Charset : {1}", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, System.Text.Encoding.Default);'

Should return

Code: Select all

Current Culture : en-US, Current Charset : I18N.West.CP1252
