Building TrinityCore 9847 with TrinityDB r34 on Ubuntu 10.04

Well, another TrinityCore/TDB release has arrived (http://forum.trinitycore.org/topic/28139-tdb-3351134-love-hate-and-passion-has-been-released/), so I'm rebuilding my Trinity server from scratch and sharing the process again. Happily, I saw much fewer errors than when I built r33. No errors, in fact!

Accordingly, this guide describes the process of setting up TrinityCore revision 9847 with TrinityDB 335.11.34 (TDB r34) on an Ubuntu 10.04 system. The directions should work on Ubuntu 9.10 but have not been tested there. I got most of my clues from http://www.trinitycore.info/index.php?title=Installing_TrinityCore_on_recent_Linux-based_systems. I highly suggest you keep that document handy while following this guide, as it goes into detail on many explanations which I will be glossing over.

Installing TrinityCore dependencies on Ubuntu 10.04

This guide is meant to accompany my release-specific build guides for TrinityCore/TDB releases on Ubuntu, in order to cut down on duplicate content in those posts since these procedures for brand new installations don't change.

TrinityCore dependency packages in Ubuntu

First, install the Ubuntu packages required for building TrinityCore.

Building Xnee 3.06 on Ubuntu Lucid 10.04

Recently, I wanted to use Xnee (http://www.sandklef.com/xnee/) to automate some GUI application actions on an Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 installation, but I found that the version of Xnee available from the Lucid repositories still has some problems. Specifically, this older Xnee version, 3.02-2ubuntu2, still contains workarounds for some previously existing Xorg RECORD extension problems which have themselves now been fixed in Lucid. The outcome of this mismatch is that recording fails with any of cnee, gnee or pnee. This is resolved in the next release of Ubuntu, 10.10 "Maverick", which includes Xnee 3.06, but I preferred not to upgrade the entire system to a pre-release state just to get this one application working.
