update-need help: error compiling plugin

Post by nostromo »

I have a little problem compiling a plugin (never did it before, maybe i forgot a thing)

-Sourcecode downloaded (2.0.13), extracted
-I can compile successfully bzflag, bzadmin, bzfs and all the included plugins)

-Downloaded the source for /timelimit plugin from catay (http://catay.be/bzplugins/TimeLimit/Tim ... .4.tar.bz2)

-did a ./newplug TimeLimit in the plugin folder
-pasted the cpp into the folder
-in /plugins makefile.am I added /Timelimit/Makefile
-in configure.ac I added /plugins/TimeLimit/Makefile

-added the file into the /plugin/Timelimit

-did an .autogen.sh

- configure, make, make install

As a result, I got errors, but no plugin (I made sure that uper and lower cases are correct..)

Code: Select all

Try adding #include "stdlib.h" to the beginning of the cpp file and see if that works. Sounds like there's a file that didn't get included there.

Maybe on of you can try to compile it and send it to me? I would like to do it by myself, but ....

Oh, okay. Add

Code: Select all

#include <string.h>
that should make it work.

Tried it again with

#include "stdlib.h"
#include <string.h>

compiled it without problems, ! :D

Big, big thank you for your help, Yassen.

A new day, a new problem. :doh:

I am able now to compile the source to get bzflag, bzfs, and plugins. I mastered the problems with compiling the TimeLimit Plugin.

Now I have the following problem:
I tried to set it up, but I get the following failure:

/timelimit.so found but does not contain bz_Load method, error
./bzfs: undefined symbol: bz_Load


I used the the 1.0.4 plugin version with some 2.0.13ish source (downloaded from the debian repository), so I shouldnt need the patch. If I need the patch (catay posted for 2.0.8), how do I apply it to 2.0.13 source code?

Just to update this topic:

the failure was somewhere in the config with wrong upper / lower case.
