[solved] Cannot find MCServer executable - Linux x64 - ctag - 01-06-2014

Hello!

I'm not particularly new to building things with make, but I seem to be missing something here.

I first tried downloading the Linux x64 tar file and extracted it.

Code:
$ wget http://ci.bearbin.net/job/MCServer%20Linux-x86-64/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/MCServer.tar

$ tar xvf MCServer.tar

But when I try looking for the executable in ./MCServer/ it isn't there:

Code:
~/MCServer$ ls

crafting.txt  furnace.txt  hg  hg.supp  items.ini  monsters.ini  Plugins  README.txt  vg  vg.supp  webadmin

Ok, then I tried compiling it myself:

Code:
$ git clone https://github.com/mc-server/MCServer.git

I couldn't copy all of the make output over SSH, but it completed without any apparent errors.

The MCServer file still isn't there?! Even after make claims to have linked it. I'm pretty confused, the directions seemed quite straightfoward. Have I missed some step to running the server?

Thanks,

Stupid question, but you did use cmake first, didn't you? There wouldn't be a makefile without it, probably, but I just had to ask. Can't be much more help otherwise, perhaps someone from the *nix community can shed some light? Bearbin? SamJBarney?

RE: Cannot find MCServer executable - Linux x64 - ctag - 01-06-2014

Hi xoft,

Yes, I ran cmake beforehand with the RELEASE flag.

Code:
~/MCServer$ cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE

RE: Cannot find MCServer executable - Linux x64 - SamJBarney - 01-06-2014

Out of curiosity, what happens when you grab the current version from the Github repo and try to build it? Also what kind of linux are you running?

RE: Cannot find MCServer executable - Linux x64 - ctag - 01-06-2014

Hi SamJBarney,

Unless I'm mistaken, that's what I'm doing. I [git clone] the current source from https://github.com/mc-server/MCServer and build it with cmake and make.

Both ways, building or grabbing the .tar archive, result in a MCServer directory with no MCServer program (or settings.ini for that matter).

Thanks,
-CTAG

RE: Cannot find MCServer executable - Linux x64 - SamJBarney - 01-06-2014

CTAG,

Ah. Missed that. Sorry.
Hmmm.... That's a bit weird. I'm running a build right now, with the same parameters that you did just to see if I can reproduce it. And the results are in! I just ran a build on my machine, and I am getting no executable in the MCServer directory. For some reason cmake is putting it in the src directory.

Check to see if src/MCServer/MCServer exists for you.

Respectfully,
Sam

I'll post a fixme to Github so that this gets fixed soon.

RE: Cannot find MCServer executable - Linux x64 - ctag - 01-06-2014

SamJBarney,

That was it! I copied the MCServer out of src and into the correct folder, the server now runs. This is a pretty odd scenario, especially since make claims to be linking "MCServer/MCServer" xP

Thank you,
-CTAG

RE: Cannot find MCServer executable - Linux x64 - SamJBarney - 01-06-2014

CTAG,

No problem. I think its just the fact that CMAKE is using a relative path for when it is supposed to be in the root directory, but it is still in the src directory.

Respectfully,
Sam

RE: Cannot find MCServer executable - Linux x64 - ctag - 01-06-2014

OK, that makes sense. Thanks again for the help.

Hey there, just saying I had the exact same issue with the Raspberry Pi after building it from the Git repositery. As described, it was placed on the src directory. Smile
