Clarification on setting RYZOM_HOME path please?

Ok, from the Wiki instructions located at http://dev.ryzom.com/wiki/ryzom/BuildForLinux it tells us to create the path as follows:

export RYZOM_PATH="/home/user/code/ryzom"

However, when you clone the repo from within your home directory using:

hg clone http://ryzom.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/ryzom/ryzom

The resulting directory structure does not match the suggested path in the instructions.

Specifically you get a structure that looks more like this:

/home/user/code/ryzom/code

inside /home/user/ryzom/code we see:

total 80K
~~rw-r--r-~~ 1 root root 36K May 12 09:47 acinclude.m4
drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4.0K May 12 09:47 nelns
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4.0K May 12 09:47 ryzom
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4.0K May 12 09:47 snowballs2
drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4.0K May 12 09:47 tool
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4.0K May 12 09:47 nel

The next step in the instructions tell you to run the following command:

$RYZOM_PATH/tools/scripts/linux/buildmode static

But wait a second here, if we translate the path out it resolves to:

/home/user/code/ryzom/tools/scripts/linux/buildmode static (assuming we set the path as per the instructions)

This is clearly a bad path, so naturally my first workaround was to simply map the path as I expected it should look...
(i.e. export RYZOM_PATH="/home/user/code/ryzom/code/ryzom") This didn't work, I still ran into compile errors on the last step. So in short, I'm trying to figure out if this could be a factor in these compile issues I'm running into.

TL;DR The Linux compile instructions seem to be directing you to create an invalid path. Am I crazy, missing something, or both? :)

Thanks!

Hi,

There is 2 different "ryzom" directories and the "/home/user" directory is only a suggestion. One "ryzom" directory is created by mercurial, containing the "code" directory, himself containing the second "ryzom" directory. The instructions refers to the second one. Example :

> ls
> hg clone http://ryzom.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/ryzom/ryzom >/dev/null 2>/dev/null
> ls
ryzom
> ls -d ryzom/code/ryzom/
ryzom/code/ryzom/
> pwd
/whatever/you/want
> export RYZOM_PATH="/whatever/you/want/ryzom/code/ryzom"

Right, I understand the path is an example. I just wasn't familiar with how mercurial clones the code I guess, that clears it up.

Cheers! :)
