Building a server on OS X

[Pi.R]

Hello guys,

I would like to build my server on Mac OS X and I tried to follow this tutorial https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Bu ... n_Mac_OS_X

However, I encountered two issues :

-

Our network module is distributed as a precompiled binary library. The latest version for Mac OS X can be downloaded from our Downloads page on Google Code.

The download page is not available anymore.

- When i do the autoreconf -fi in my terminal, I have this error : autoreconf: 'configure.ac' or 'configure.in' is required

Can someone help me?

Cheers.

If you're building from the git master branch, then get the 1.6 Linux server binary archive from here: https://nightly.multitheftauto.com/ and extract the net.so

Are you running autoreconf -fi in the correct directory?

If you're building from the git master branch, then get the 1.6 Linux server binary archive from here: https://nightly.multitheftauto.com/ and extract the net.so

Could you be more precise about how to do it please?

Are you running autoreconf -fi in the correct directory?

Certainly not. Could you tell me which directory I should execute the command in?

Cheers.

Latest 64 bit linux 1.6 server archive is here: https://nightly.multitheftauto.com/?multitheftaut ... ble-latest

Download and extract it, and there will be a net.so in there somewhere.

Did you clone the source code from Github? Try running autoreconf -fi in that directory.

This is what I have.

Concerning github source code, there is nothing in the wiki talking about any github repository... So I'm a bit confused.

The article assumes you already have the source code. The article is also 5 years old, and there could be other problems with it.

Would you mind explaining me step by step how to build the server?

I can only explain how to build the 1.5 Linux server on Linux. I guess building on Mac will be similar:

1) Get the source

One way is download a zip: https://github.com/multitheftauto/mtasa ... /1.5.1.zip

2) Build by running initial-install.sh (which is in the source root directory)

3) Then run mta-install.sh to get all the server files into MTA10_Server/output

[Pi.R]

This is what I get at the end of the execution of initial-install.sh

make: Nothing to be done for `all'.

make: Nothing to be done for `static'.

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

I just tried building on OSX and was there a ton of compile errors. I don't think it going to be fixed for anytime soon.

So there is no way to run a server on mac os x?

As an alternative, you could use a virtual machine to run the server (e.g. VirtualBox/VMWare + some Linux) and create a network bridge.
