Question - MacroQuest Compilation (1 Viewer)

[Pauly]

I have a feeling this is the wrong forum to be asking questions about compiling MacroQuest, hence if someone could point me to the correct forum I'd appreciate it, otherwise:-

I've a few issues, the first is I'm cheap and thought I'd "try for free" before committing cash. I'm trying to compile using the guide on Git Hub, but am running into missing files and compilation errors which leads me to my second issue, which is I have little understanding of what I'm doing.

Anyway, before I bombard people with questions and error logs I thought it best I ask if this is the correct place.

Cheers,
Pauly

GitHub - RedGuides/openvanilla: Open Vanilla is a flavor of MacroQuest with features and automation for EverQuest multiboxers

that is our "open vanilla" for folks who want to build their own version of what we offer without some of the goodies.

is that what you're doing? if so, what step are you at, what error are you getting?

RG != MacroQuest and vice versa even tho there is a lot of overlap. if you're trying to follow the MacroQuest instructions you might ask on the MQ discord, but we're also happy to help here

it is really easy to get and keep a lvl 2 with redcents
> Learn about redcents <

I hit you with a level 2 so you can use redfetch and try RG's compile without having to compile yourself --- you should 100% continue to try and self-compile if that is something you *wanted* to do, but this way you can decide if you just want to get playing sooner.

Thank you for the quick response, and the very helpful gift, it is very much appreciated.

Want to compile was not really in my comfort zone, but now it's become a challenge and I will beat it (at some point). I've successfully compiled both EQ and WoW servers on my Linux server in the past, probably more luck than judgement, so I have an unhealthy opinion of my own skills

That, my friend, is a Scotch Pie. Very easy to find in Scotland, not so much outside. Strangely I got "addicted" to them as a school boy in Wales, I can only assume the local baker was Scottish. Originally made with mutton, but now mostly with beef, they are great hot and cold and I highly recommend you try one if you can find them. As with all culinary treats, there are cheap and nasty versions, but a good one is to die for.

Your Mum sounds like a star, scotch eggs are also a another gift Scotland has given to the world.
