Deprecation warning

This repository is deprecated, currently /tg/station is using a rust based SQL client library, embedded in rust-g

This client library has a nasty habit of segfaulting if you do a reconnection option while there are queries out for processing.

You can find rust-g here - https://github.com/tgstation/rust-g - but it also comes packaged with the game.

BSQL

This is a non-blocking SQL library for BYOND games

Building

Install the c++ build chain for your operating system as well as CMake. Remember that you must build the library as x86 (because BYOND)

Windows

Install the vcpkg package manager (Example done in powershell)
- git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg
- cd vcpkg
- .\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
- .\vcpkg.exe integrate install (Accept admin prompt. Must restart shell after this)
Install libmariadb with .\vcpkg.exe install libmariadb:x86-windows
Option 1: Visual Studio
- Set up a CMakeSettings.json in the project root with the path to the vcpkg toolchain file
- Open and build BSQL.sln
Option 2: VS Command Line Build Tools (Requires CMake 3.8 or higher)
- Run cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:/path/to/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake path/to/code/root
- Run C:/path/to/msbuild.exe BSQL.sln

Linux

Dependencies (Debian based distros)
libmariadb2:i386 libmariadbclient-dev:i386 libssl1.1:i386 (exact libssl version probably doesn't matter exactly)
Cmake expects the includes to be in /usr/include/mysql and the libraries to be in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu, you'll have to adjust the paths in CMakelists if your distro does it differently
Generate makefiles with cmake
Use make to build

Linux Alternative

Make the LinuxInstall.sh file executable via chmod +x LinuxInstall.sh
run LinuxInstall.sh as a super user
All dependencies will be installed and the binaries will be build for you.

Troubleshooting

Run ldd on the output .so file, ensure all dependencies exist and are valid
Run file on the output .so file and validate it's a 32 bit lib

Integrating

To integrate BSQL into your DM project, build it or download a windows release and drop the libmariadb and BSQL binaries in the root of your project folder. Then include the DMAPI (under src/DMAPI) in your project. Only include BSQL.dm and BSQL/includes.dm for maximum future compatibility. Modify the configuration options in BSQL.dm to your needs or create and include seperate config file. Follow the comments in BSQL.dm for further instructions
