Dedicated Server?

by Jace · in Technical Issues · 02/20/2005 (4:25 pm) · 1 replies

Hello everyone,

I have a dedicated linux box in a data center at Dallas TX. I have root access and as you linux guys know SSH access only. I need to compile Toqrue on it but I don't need anything but whats required to serve.

Linux box = Server
Windows clients connect..

The issue I am having is when I try "make dedicated" it is compiling the entire engine and since it is a server box it doesnt have video drivers or sound. So it will not compile...

Has anyone compiled a server only binary for Torque on a pure Linux server box?

Absolutely. You probably need to check your specific linux makefiles (mostly in the mk directory) and make sure that the dedicated make option is still implemented properly, but stock it should work fine.

You also need to invoke the process with the following parameters:

./.bin -dedicated -nohomedir -mission /.mis
