Compiling on Ubuntu 20.04

Canary

Supported OS

• Ubuntu 20.04

1. Install the required software

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

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 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

Update gcc

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test -y
sudo apt update
sudo apt install gcc-11 g++-11
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-11 100 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-11 --slave /usr/bin/gcov gcov /usr/bin/gcov-11 --slave /usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc /usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc-11  --slave /usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-g++ aarch64-linux-gnu-g++ /usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-g++-11 /usr/bin/gcov-11
sudo update-alternatives --set gcc /usr/bin/gcc-11
gcc-11 --version
g++-11 --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/opentibiabr/canary.git
cd canary

3. Checkout nightly branch (optional)

git checkout main

4. Folder structure

.
├── canary
└── 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!
