	git checkout 3.3.5

and build using:

xcodebuild -target install -config Release

I dont understand where you are saying to input the

git checkout 3.3.5

[Shin]

@vemigod

from the directory of your TrinityCore sources.

Example:

git clone https://github.com/TrinityCore/TrinityCore.git

cd TrinityCore

 

now if you want to compile 3.3.5, just type:

git checkout 3.3.5

[Aokromes]

Or simply:

git clone -b 3.3.5 https://github.com/TrinityCore/TrinityCore.git

[vemigod]

thanks for the explanation i appreciate it, both of you

I think it is 

xcode-select --install

[panther]

I'm really just trying this for the hell of it and without any experience or knowledge, so this is probably a very stupid error.

It fails on the cmake step and I'm left with this the .log file:

The C compiler identification could not be found in "/Volumes/Ext Storage/Trinity/TrinityCore/build/CMakeFiles/3.4.3/CompilerIdC/._CompilerIdC.build"

The CXX compiler identification could not be found in "/Volumes/Ext Storage/Trinity/TrinityCore/build/CMakeFiles/3.4.3/CompilerIdCXX/._CompilerIdCXX.build"

 

Edit: Derp, turns out doing 'brew install' and then all of the dependencies in one row only installed the last one. After installing each one individually, it now works. Sorry about that ^^

OK it is time to update MMAPS, but i can't remember the correct way to extract maps, update MMAPS and VMAPS. Any hint?

you need to set the following cmake param:

-DMYSQL_LIBRARY=/usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient_r.dylib \

with the correct path of your libmysqlclient_r.dylib which evidently is not located under /usr/local/mysql/lib/ in your machine.

It work but i can't build binaries :

clang: error: no such file or directory: '/usr/local/opt/zeromq/lib/libzmq.dylib'

 

** BUILD FAILED **

 

but libzmq.dylib( i add it in this directory because zeromq don't make file in opt but it still doesn't work) is in this directory, can any one help me ?

[EDIT] It's not a permission problem, i've tried with sudo 

SOLVED, i have change that : 

-DZMQ_LIBRARY=/usr/local/opt/zeromq/lib/libzmq.dylib \
-DZMQ_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/opt/zeromq/include \

To :

-DZMQ_LIBRARY=/usr/local/Cellar/zeromq/4.1.4/lib/libzmq.dylib \
-DZMQ_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/Cellar/zeromq/4.1.4/include \

I got this error when i try to run worlserver

DBUpdater: Given source directory /Users/ikirserver/Downloads/TrinityCore does not exist, skipped!

But it should not search there for sql updates since in worldconfig i have this:

#
#    Updates.SourcePath
#        Description: The path to your TrinityCore source directory.
#                     If the path is left empty, built-in CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR is used.
#        Example:     "../TrinityCore"
#        Default:     ""

Updates.SourcePath  = "/Applications/TrinityCore"

 

Any idea? Also have anyone tried to update to 6.x? How can we keep all the date when updating to 6.x version?

Hi, I could not find libmysqlclient_r.dylib in my mac.

lang: error: no such file or directory: '/usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient_r.dylib'

 

** BUILD FAILED **

 

 

The following build commands failed:

Ld build/src/server/authserver/Release/authserver normal x86_64

And I searched my computer, no that file. 

Please help me with it!

libmysqlclient_r.dylib is old and not longer used. To compile without problems, create symlinks to the libmysqlclient:

 

sudo ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.a /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient_r.a

sudo ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.la /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient_r.la

sudo ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.dylib /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient_r.dylib

[itsirc]

I'm getting this error, any ideas?

That looks like you are using mysql 8 which is not supported

I don't have any knowledge about building on mac, just repeating that mysql 8 is not supported on any platform (not related to mac specifically)

it can't find libmysqlclient_r.dylib, so you need to check where it's located and change your -DMYSQL_LIBRARY param accordingly during step "5) Generate the XCode project files"

[nixholas]

cmake $TRINITY/repo -G Xcode \
    -DMYSQL_ADD_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/include \
    -DMYSQL_LIBRARY=/usr/local/Cellar/[email protected]/5.7.24/lib/libmysqlclient.dylib \
    -DREADLINE_INCLUDE_DIR=$TRINITY/include \
    -DREADLINE_LIBRARY=$TRINITY/lib/libreadline.dylib \
    -DBOOST_INCLUDEDIR=/usr/local/include \
    -DBOOST_LIBRARYDIR=/usr/local/lib \
    -DOPENSSL_SSL_LIBRARIES=$TRINITY/lib/libssl.dylib \
    -DOPENSSL_CRYPTO_LIBRARIES=$TRINITY/lib/libcrypto.dylib \
    -DZMQ_LIBRARY=/usr/local/opt/zeromq/lib/libzmq.dylib \
    -DZMQ_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/opt/zeromq/include \
    -DOPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=$TRINITY/include \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$TRINITY \
    -DWITH_WARNINGS=1 \
    -DTOOLS=1 \
    -DUSE_COREPCH=1 \
    -DUSE_SCRIPTPCH=1 \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/Users/nixholas/tc-server \

 

That worked best for me. Using zshell, so here goes.

export TRINITY=/Volumes/RedOne/TrinityCore
export PATH=$TRINITY/bin:/usr/local/Cellar/[email protected]/5.7.24/bin:$PATH

brew link zlib --force

give me  :

Warning: Refusing to link macOS-provided software: zlib

For compilers to find zlib you may need to set:

  export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/zlib/lib"

  export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/zlib/include"

 

 how i can to solve?

Hi all and thanks for this help thread.

I also get the same error as [itsirc] above, on September 20,  and you suggest mysql 8 is not supported.  But I did not install it mysql, Homebrew did.  I followed Homebrew commands, and this is the mysql Homebrew installed (I believe).

So how do I start over with a different mysql version from Homebrew, and what changes do I need to make in my commands? 

Thanks,

Aescleal

Update:  I figured out how to uninstall mysql 8 via Brew command, and then remove a few extra leftovers.  I don't know how 8 got on there really.  Anyway, afterward I installed mysql 5.7 with "Brew install [email protected]".  That worked a charm.  So things are improving...  except I can't find libmysqlclient_r.dylib anywhere on my Mac.

Hi, update with more questions...

It seems I can now get things compiled.  However I had to use libmysqlclient.dylib, and not libmysqlclient_r.dylib.

It compiles!!!  Yay.  However, when I use the extractors on the WotLK client, it tells me map extractor is wrong version.

This was built with Homebrew and checked out the 3.3.5.  So I'm not sure what is different except libmysqlclient.dylib.

Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks

I'm success build on Mac OS 12.6 Monterey and old Mojave

after install all brew packages 

one more thing to do with Monterey is I need copy ssl config

cp /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/pkgconfig/*.pc /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/

when I run this command 

brew link zlib --force

It shows these message , but seems no effect anything 

Warning: Refusing to link macOS-provided software: zlib

For compilers to find zlib you may need to set:

  export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/zlib/lib"

  export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/zlib/include"


this is what I use for build settings , works for both OS  

cmake ../ -GXcode \
-DMYSQL_ADD_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/include \
-DMYSQL_LIBRARY=/usr/local/lib/libmysqlclient.dylib \
-DREADLINE_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/opt/readline/include \
-DREADLINE_LIBRARY=/usr/local/opt/readline/lib/libreadline.dylib \
-DBOOST_INCLUDEDIR=/usr/local/include \
-DBOOST_LIBRARYDIR=/usr/local/lib \

-DOPENSSL_SSL_LIBRARIES=/usr/local/opt/openssl@3/lib/libssl.dylib \

-DZLIB_ROOT=/usr/local/Cellar/zlib/1.2.13 \
-DACE_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/opt/ace/include \
-DACE_LIBRARY=/usr/local/opt/ace/lib/libACE.dylib \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/Applications/Trinity \
-DWITH_WARNINGS=1

the key is change oepnssl to openssl@3

and Mojave require Xcode 11 , don't use Xcode 10
