Linux compiling

stino · 07-22-2007, 09:09 AM

Question to the dev team, how the hell did you manage to compile your mod on linux?

we tried a lot Distro's, including fedora 4 and 5, Linux XP, Cent OS 5, Slackware 11, .. but we didn't get a single one working.

slackware 11 got further than any other: it gets to a file called generatemakefile.cpp and then it stops, and complains about syntax errors in that file

Try ubuntu its by far the easiest to setup, go to valve's sdk site and see what libraries you need then download them using synaptic.

I'm not a programmer, but I can tell you that since the very beginning we've had the Linux server working and done most of our testing on it. I mean, it's been supported from the start of the mod..

Linux dependincies are a biiiiiiiiiiiiiittttch.

Make sure you get a distro with app management.

Debian/ubuntu is the best in that department. Apt get rules.

Still, you need to know what deps it has to be able to get them.

i have what i need, i only get cpp errors and he complains that he can't find xercesc/include/dom/AFILE.hpp

for what i know: the path is relative, and there is no $XERCESCROOT in front of it so it looks like an error in the cpp file valve provided.

Here's the compiler's output:

look what i wrote, and now try to judge for yourself if that will help, especially the line: Slackware 11.0 ( http://www.slackware.com/ ) is a good starting base to create your compiling environment.

Zaskar · 07-23-2007, 01:49 PM

Could be that you need an older (or newer, if your distro is old) c++/g++ version.

can get lots of compiling errors if your using the newest versions and a program was made to compile on an older version.

slackware 11 is suggested by valve, gcc, g++ and glibc are the same major and minor version suggested by valve. And i don't know what version valve suggests for xerces, but if you read the output i've included with my previous post you see something going wrong with xerces, its the first thing that goes wrong.

stino · 08-08-2007, 05:24 PM

OK, we compiled our SO file, so what now, if we put it in our game dir along with the other files we and we start
./srcds_run -game synergy -map syn_apprehension it loads a game of hl2mp (game.dll loaded for half life 2 deathmatch)
and if i try to get some information on hlsw about that server on port 27015 i get a timeout :s

(only our coder gets his server to run with game.dll loaded for synergy :P)

and why is our so file 20mb? we tried to create the version_script like the mention on the developers wiki.

Ihmhi · 08-08-2007, 11:26 PM

Okay, since no one asked, what game is this for anyway?

Well it mentions something about XERCES:

At a minimum you should configure these parameters:
[...]
XERCES_INC_DIR, XERCES_LIB_DIR, the installation directory of the Xerces library.

never mind, got it working, my next problem now is that i can't launch a map, so how do i debug linux dump files, (like mdmp on windows ..)
