Hi,

I have a Windows 2003 Server running on this i will run MC-Server.
It's this not possible ?
Run the MC-Server from Windows 2008 Server or on Windows 2012 Server ?

Thank You verry Much for the Help.

Hello, and welcome to the forum.
Running MCServer on a Windows 2003 server should be possible, although you might need to compile your own executable. The compiled binaries provided on the build pages ( https://builds.cuberite.org ) will run only on Windows 2008 server or higher. You need a computer with Windows 7 with Visual Studio 2013 Express For Desktop, prepare the compilation as documented, but then before compiling you need to open the visual studio and in the MCServer project properties, you need to set the platform toolset to Visual Studio 2013 - Windows XP (v120_xp). This will produce an MCServer executable that will run on Windows XP and 2003 server.

Thank You, and thank you for the info. But i have no MS Visual C++ Project found.
For Compile your Server. And i have not so infos about C++, if you can help me this is verry nice.

I have the Source from your Site downloaded and i have found a Directory with many cpp Files eventualy to the server but no cpp file with titel MCServer.

Many thx

There is no VS project file. You need to generate it first, using the CMake program (this allows us to use a single project file for Windows, Linux, OS X and others). Have a look at the Compiling file: https://github.com/mc-server/MCServer/bl...MPILING.md

Also note that if you downloaded the sources as a ZIP file from GitHub, you need to download additional source file ZIPs and unpack them to proper folders before using cmake:
Into lib\SQLiteCpp: https://github.com/mc-server/SQLiteCpp
Into lib\polarssl: https://github.com/mc-server/polarssl

Is there a Lua project in your solution? If so, right-click it and choose Build project, then retry building the whole solution. For some reason it seems that the VS is trying to build MCS before its required libraries.

Thank You so much for your Help. First its my failour i have the LUA.dll not Copyed.
So now run to a other failour notice.

This is the error:

In English tolua was wrong writed or can't found.

then cmd was closed.

Have you a idea ?

Thank You verry much

You don't need to copy the lua dll, the build should do all that for you.
It seems that for some reason the dependencies are skipped by your compiler. Try to right-click Tolualib project and build, then tolua project and build and finally build the solution again.

Note that in the last report it says you're building a Debug build, is that intentional? Debug builds are much slower than Release builds, because they do additional sanity checks all the time. If you plan just running the server, you may want to switch to a Release build. Do this by going to menu Build -> Configuration manager, and select Release from the Active solution configuration combobox.
