NWNX Ubuntu 16.04 Issues

EzRemake

I've gone through probably 4 different tutorials from people, trying to get my linux nwnx setup on a Vultr server, and every single tutorial breaks down halfway through, either with inactive links to script packages (server.startup.sh etc), or leaves out important dependancies meaning I can't compile things properly.

I've tried https://forum.neverwintervault.org/t/migrating-server-to-neverwinter-ee/420, but the compiles fail

I've tried https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1351453024, but again, issues

Cmake always fails with

So here's the thing. I have everything else set up. I can get nwserver-linux running no problem with my mod/haks, all configured fine. However, since I cannot compile my own .so files, I've been using the precompiled ones. I can get nwnx_core.so to run fine with a bash script, but I'm curious if I'm just setting myself up for disaster by not having compiled all of this myself?


Any guidance / and updated guide for use with Ubuntu 16.04 would be great.

Hiya, if you don't need the Java or Redis plugins I suggest you instead run this command before building. (I don't need any of the ones below, configure to your liking.

export NWNX_SKIP_PLUGINS="JVM;Lua;Mono;Ruby;Redis"

It's best to build your own because nwnx is constantly being updated with fixes and new additions and the released binaries aren't as up to date.

Additionally if you want more help with nwnx related things, try dropping by the discord, it's a very helpful community. Here's an invite link: https://discord.gg/mFFaFeU

Additionally you may wish to follow these instructions to get your build working: https://github.com/mtijanic/nwn-misc/blob/master/nwnx-server-setup/nwnx-setup.sh

EzRemake

I'll try the above tutorial, but it appears very very similar to the first guide I tried which produced the above errors. However, the cmake command is different so who knows, I'll give it a try and get back to you.

A question I have is, are the contents of the NWNX folder neccessary to run the compiled .so files, or are the contents pretty much only for compiling?

EzRemake

I ended up trying the latest tutorial, and while everything worked I exhausted my machines memory trying to get through the compile, it only made it to 55%. And thats on a 4GB plan which seems a little excessive. Is there something I can do here to prevent the compile from going crazy?

orth

As discussed in discord, don't use make -j6 or such, just run it with make

I know this old, but I had the same errors with Hunspell and Lua. These are the commands that resolved both for me:

sudo apt install libluajit-5.1-dev
sudo apt install lua5.1
sudo apt-get install hunspell
sudo apt install libhunspell-dev
