Although I deliver a core trinity already compiled you may want or need to compile it yourself, to make your own mod / debug or because you are under another system. Here are the dependencies and utilities needed to compile the 6.2.4 core. This can be done in visual studio 2013 as in visual studio 2015 or 2017.

Before starting it is important not to mix the x86 (32bit) and x64 (64bits) versions when the choice is possible. This is not the case for example for Cmake which is only in x86. Below the examples are given for windows x64.

BOOST

The link for a compilation on a 64 bit system:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/f...es/1.63.0/

Choose boost_1_63_0-msvc-12.0-64.exe for a compilation under visual studio 2013 and a 64 bit system

At a minimum you will need version 1.59, trinity recommends 1.60 which resolves a problem with ASIO. Personally I use 1.63
Beware of the name ... many have problems because they chose the wrong version. Example: boost_1_63_0-msvc-12.0-64.exe, 12 indicates visual studio version 12 (2013) and 64 indicates a 64x system

Mysql


The link for a compilation on a 64 bit system: MySQL :: Download MySQL Community Server

Use a 5.6x version, especially not the problematic version 5.7

OPENSSL

The link for a compilation on a 64 bit system: Win32/Win64 OpenSSL Installer for Windows - Shining Light Productions

Always take a version in V1.0.x, never a light version or V1.1.x. Win64 OpenSSL v1.0.2j example
At installation choose the / bin folder rather than the windows system folder

Tools for compiling


Visual Studio 2015

Visual Studio 2015 update 3 Click HERE

Citation:
Environment variables / Cmake:

VS120COMNTOOLS: C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0 \ Common7 \ Tools \



Cmake

In order to prepare the sources for visual sudio (because these can be used on several x86, x64, Linux, Mac, ... systems) you will need version 3.3.2 of Cmake, avoid another even higher version which can be a problem.

Link to Cmake: choose cmake-3.3.2-win32-x86.zip or cmake-3.3.2-win32-x86.exe, whether you are x86 or x64

In this one once all the dependencies installed and just before compilation you will need:
First click on "Configure" and choose your Visual studio: version + x86 or x64, it may be that an error occurs this is normal, it occurs because all dependencies are not specified.
Check the boxes SCRIPT, SERVERS, TOOLS (to compile the map extraction tools, etc.),
WITHOUT_GIT​
(since we don't use git but local sources).
In SCRIPT pass all the options on static otherwise some script will not be automatically included in the core
Click on Generate to generate the solution for your visual studio, if an error occurs this product check the dependency paths. Pay close attention to the slach "/" and anti shash "\". If an error occurs again check that you are using the correct version and x64 or x86 format of your dependencies.



For informations :


The environment variables must be created during the installation of the dependencies but this is not necessarily the case, to check therefore if you encounter problems.
Installing / uninstalling multiple versions can also create problems at this level.
These environmental variables are taken into account after restarting your PC

Below my environment variables, it's up to you to adapt your paths:
