TDB
- Check https://github.com/TrinityCore/TrinityCore/releases for updates
- Make certain the database is
335, and not927or etc - Do this after the initial compile 5)

Compile
- This wipes out the
runfolder, so ideally any extracted content and the full TDB shouldn't be moved there until after this initial compile - For content extraction, Fedora major versions should match between the compiler and extraction machines for Boost libraries 6)
