i'm trying to compile the HTF plugin, but all i get is a .o file and a .lo file. i read the "where's the .so?" topic but it didn't help.

have you done a "locate <pluginname>.so"?

I have now, but nothing.

Not sure how much help this is...

I'm on Suse linux, and when I compile, I use the --prefix=/path/to/bzflag when running ./configure so that my binaries and everything goes into my desired directory. I save the source in the home directory and use the prefix so mine goes into /home/death/bzflag/

As far as the plugins, I always find mine in /home/death/bzflag/libs/ And yes, I am specifically talking about the .so files. (they call me the plugin King behind my back)

I might be off going from memory (not at home) but I find mine in a /libs/ folder somewhere in the bzflag source.

So if you can't find yours, consider using a --prefix

This is all assuming that when you compile, you do both a "make" *A*N*D* a "make install"

Good luck

i do make and make install, and i have no "libs" folder in the bzflag dict.

me1,

Try ./configure --enable-shared --enable-plugins

After make and make install, they should be in a /lib as Darth said. That's /usr/local/lib if you do a checkinstall or default (no argument) make install.

i'll try that
EDIT: nope

I still get no .so...

EDIT2: I talk to some guy on IRC and solved the prob.

And the solution was....?

FWIW, ./configure --enable-shared has always worked for me.

it seemed that the folder with the plugins was hidden
