Flux multi-user server

Draft

Definition

Flux multi-user server (alis Hydra) is Open Virtual Worlds Web Server made by Media Machines. Currently in alpha/early beta - 15:54, 6 July 2007 (MEST)

Installation

Downlods

1. Get the Hawk Network Library version 1.7 by Phil Frisbie (LGPL). You can find it in the downloads section.
2. Get Hydra, Flux Multi-User
3. Also install Flux Player 2.1 if you don't have it already.

Preparation of installation

Currently (July 2007) you have to compile it yourself.

Hydras (files)

• unzip into a folder, e.g. I used

/usr/local/flux/hydra

HawkNL

• Put it in a folder named "HawkNL" at the same level as the folder containing the Hydra sources. E.g. I used

/usr/local/flux/HawkNL

 unzip HawkNL17b1src.zip [-d "flux directory"]
 cd "flux directory"
 ln -s HawkNL1.70 HawkNL

Result is something like this

/usr/local/flux
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   10 2007-07-06 15:28 HawkNL -> HawkNL1.70
drwxr-xr-x  7 root root 4096 2007-07-06 15:27 HawkNL1.70
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 2007-07-06 15:40 hydra
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 2007-07-06 15:39 src

Compilation

HawNL

 cd HawkNL
 make -f makefile.linux
 make -f makefile.linux install

It will also copy the libraries in /usr/local/lib and header to /usr/local/include/nl.h

Hydras

• On Windows, load the hydras.sln or hydrac.sln solution files into MSVC 2003 or later.
• On (Red Hat) Linux, run make on the Makefile with gcc installed.

cd hydra
make

Then read forums and stuff on the web ... will try later to finish this install - Daniel K. Schneider 15:54, 6 July 2007 (MEST)
