## Building
Project can be compiled on Windows (Visual Studio) and Linux (GCC)

### Windows (Visual Studio)
* Open the project file `SphereSvr.vcxproj` using Visual Studio
* On top menu, select the build configuration (Debug/Local/Nightly/Release), platform (x86/x64), and click on `Build > Build Solution` to compile

#### NOTES:
* Required version: VS2015 or later (VS Code is not supported)
* When using VS >= 2017:
* When opening `SphereSvr.vcxproj` for the first time it will request an update on project file, just click OK to update (if update request doesn't get opened automatically, just open it on `Project > Retarget solution`)
* Newest VS have an modular installation which comes with just basic components, and extra components must be installed as needed. To compile Sphere you must open `Visual Studio Installer` to install `Desktop Development with C++` workload

### Linux (Ubuntu)
#### Add architecture support
* To compile 32bit build on 32bit OS or 64bit build on 64bit OS:
```
# Skip this step (architecture is already supported by OS)
```
* To compile 32bit build on 64bit OS:
```
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
```

#### Install MySQL 5.7 client
* Ubuntu 14.10 or older:
* Default package repository only have support up to MySQL 5.6, so add MySQL 5.7 support
```
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://repo.mysql.com/apt/ubuntu/ precise mysql-5.7'
sudo apt-get update
```
* Install MySQL
* To compile 32bit build on 32bit OS or 64bit build on 64bit OS:
```
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
```
* To compile 32bit build on 64bit OS:
```
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev:i386
```

* Ubuntu 15.04 to 19.04:
* Install MySQL
* To compile 32bit build on 32bit OS or 64bit build on 64bit OS:
```
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
```
* To compile 32bit build on 64bit OS:
```
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev:i386
```

* Ubuntu 19.10 or later:
* Default package repository dropped support for MySQL 5.7, so add it back
```

sudo apt-get update --allow-insecure-repositories
```
* Install MySQL
* To compile 32bit build on 32bit OS or 64bit build on 64bit OS:
```
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev=5.7*
```
* To compile 32bit build on 64bit OS:
```
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev:i386=5.7*
```

#### Install required packages

## Coding notes for new contributors
* Make sure you can compile and run the program before pushing a commit.
* Rebasing instead of pulling the project is a better practice to avoid unnecessary "merge branch master" commits.
* Adding/removing/changing anything that was working in one way for years should be followed by an ini setting when the changes can't be replicated on scripts to keep backwards compatibility.
