D2GS under Wine

howto

I'am using Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS (64-bit Server) with a user, having sudo permissions. The specifications of the server are: AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz (Black Edition), 128 GB SSD, 16 GB DDR3

/*

1. Install the needed software
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential git cmake zlib1g-dev mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient-dev

2. Download and install PvPGN
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/pvpgn/pvpgn-server.git
cd pvpgn-server
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/pvpgn -D WITH_MYSQL=true -D WITH_LUA=true ../

make install

3. Configure the PVPGN
nano ~/pvpgn/etc/*.conf

After that, you can run bnetd, d2cs and d2dbs from ~/pvpgn/sbin folder.
