Problems building with 2.0.8

[Elderberry Schmuck]

I'm probably do something really daft. I've had my (and the example) plugins working under 2.0.4 under windows and linux. I'm trying to upgrade to 2.0.8 and although the samples compile and work under windows - I'm having problems with linux...

The make seems to generate .a/.la files as output, I was expecting .so

Conseqently when doing a 'make install' it puts these into /usr/local/lib and neither of them work as a parameter to 'loadplugin' to bzfs...
...
... Hmm, I'm going to post this anyway though there seems something awry with the versions of automake... I'll fix this and see what happens

[Elderberry Schmuck]

Still no joy... I resolved a version issue with automake... but still no ".so" file

what am I doing wrong

Did you use:

Code: Select all

./configure --enable-shared

? I've always had to use the --enable-shared argument to get the plugins built.

[Elderberry Schmuck]

Brilliant - thanks for the hint. Used the command and its all fine now

2*Brownie points for you !!!

Glad it worked

the make system for plugins changed for 2.0.6+ it now uses libttool and those new config switches. That's why it's different
