Step3 - Install Azerothcore Build Dependencies#

See source code at workflow/s03-build_deps/.

Overview#

This packer script is to install necessary build dependencies for building the core. NOTE, MySQL is already built in the previous step.

Requirements, as of 2023-03-20:

  • Ubuntu >= 22.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)

  • MySQL >= 5.7.0 (8.x.y is recommended)

  • Boost <= 1.74

  • OpenSSL >= 3.0.x

  • CMake >= 3.16

  • Clang >= 10

If you use the ubuntu 18, then the max version of a lot of tools are too old, and you cannot update them via apt-get, you have to install them manually, which is too complicated. So I would like to use ubuntu 22 as the base image.

Build time is around 6 minutes on t3.2xlarge.
