Update, Compilation then run the server

[KoolKat29]

I have a question, is it okay if I update and compile via windows then run it on linux (Centos)?? Because I find it easy for me to update/diff my files on windows but I have a centos OS for my server. Anyon have tried this or is anyone doing this? Thanks.

When you compile on Windows, the executable server files will only run on Windows platforms.

When you compile on Linux (ex: CentOS), the executable files will only run on Linux.

Compiled exe's will usually work on different versions of the same OS (ex: compile on Windows XP will probably work on Windows 7), but it's best to compile on the same machine you will be running the server on.

Because I find it easy for me to update/diff my files on windows but I have a centos OS for my server.

What you can do is edit/update your files on Windows, then upload (or zip and upload) the files to your CentOS server. Then compile on CentOS (see: Compiling#Unix).

Thanks RMRO for the reply. I was also thinking the same.How about if updating and compiling the server files via Windows OS, then run the server or just copy and replace the updated files into the linux server files? I mean especially for the src files?

Thanks for the reply RMRO, Im fully aware of those commands. I was referring to gui style of windows when it comes to diffing from turtoisesvn XD

and it should be

make sql

not

~ ./make sql
