Compiling on Ubuntu 22.04

OTClient

Supported OS

• Ubuntu 22.04

1. Install the required software

The following command will install Git, CMake, a compiler and the libraries used by OtClient.

Git will be used to download the source code, and CMake will be used to generate the build files.

sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo apt install git cmake build-essential autoconf libtool ca-certificates curl zip unzip tar pkg-config ninja-build libglew-dev libx11-dev ccache linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Update cmake

sudo apt remove --purge cmake
hash -r
sudo apt install snapd
sudo snap install cmake --classic
cmake --version

Install vcpkg

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg
cd vcpkg
./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
cd ..

2. Download the source code

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mehah/otclient.git
cd otclient

3. Checkout nightly branch (optional)

git checkout main

4. Folder structure

.
├── otclient
└── vcpkg

5. Configure and build

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=~/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake .. --preset linux-release
cmake --build linux-release

-- Running vcpkg install

This step will take a long time on the first run, as it needs to download and install all the dependencies, so be patient!
