Problems compiling nwnx2

[Ephasme]

Hi,

I have installed all dependecies for execute the command ./install.sh, but when I lauch it, I get few modules in my compile directory.
How can I get all modules ? There's something to configure ?

I ran into issues after I had to reformat. Went with Ubuntu 10.10 Server 64 bit edition.

It seems to stick on fixes, events is the last .so that compiles correctly.

EDIT: Removed fixes from the makefile and added letoscript, and it compiled without any problem. Problem I belive resides in nwn_fixes.

Is anyone still experiencing these issues when trying to run nwn with nwnx2 (current svn checkout)? I just can't seem to get rid of them.

I've finally resolved all of my building and running issues.

I run gentoo.

I used to get dlopen errors for most of my plugins as you can see in my previous posts to this thread.
I now have a server running with almost all of the plugins working with no errors.

Just to show what plugins i have working.

this is what i did.

I used ./compile.sh because ./install.sh can not find my mysql client libraries and doesn't seem to compile a ruby plugin.

compile.sh seemed to build everything just fine but most of the plugins would not work during run time... they failed with dlopen errors stating that certain symbols couldn't be found.

I did some googling and stack overflow had my answer...

I downloaded nwnx2 2.8-dev from github.com and after many frustrating hours and googling I added one option to the gcc compile line in Makefile.in

here is my current Makefile.in:

CXX = @CXX@
LIBS = @LIBS@ -ldl
DEFS = @DEFS@
LFLAGS = -w -fPIC -shared -W -Wall @LDFLAGS@
CFLAGS = @CFLAGS@ -Iinclude $(DEFS)
CPPFLAGS = @CPPFLAGS@ -Iinclude $(DEFS)

# Add your own plugins to the compilation with this configure option:
# ./configure --with-extraplugins="plugin1 plugin2 ..."

all: nwnx2.so subdirs override

nwnx2.so: nwnx2lib.o NWNXBase.o modules.o lists.o gline.o $(LIBRARY)
$(CXX) $(LFLAGS) -o $@ $^ $(LIBS)

# always execute regardless of existance or timestamp
.PHONY: clean subdirs override $(SUBDIRS)

subdirs: $(SUBDIRS)

override:
make -C override all

$(SUBDIRS):
$(MAKE) -C $@ PLUGIN_CFLAGS="$(CFLAGS)" PLUGIN_CPPFLAGS="$(CPPFLAGS)" PLUGIN_LFLAGS="$(LFLAGS)" -rdynamic

clean:
for i in $(SUBDIRS); do $(MAKE) -C $$i $@; done
/bin/rm -f *.o *.so lib/*.o *~
make -C override clean

install: all
for i in $(SUBDIRS); do $(MAKE) -C $$i $@; done
mkdir -p @prefix@/
install nwnx2.so @prefix@/
if [ ! -f @prefix@/nwnx2.ini ]; then install nwnx2.ini @prefix@/; fi

distclean:
for i in $(SUBDIRS); do $(MAKE) -C $$i $@; done
/bin/rm -f Makefile config.h config.status config.cache config.log *.o *.so lib/*.o *~

All I did was add -rdynamic to line 61 and now my plugins work fine.
I should also mention that I had to rename my nwnx_odmbc_mysql.so to nwnx_odbc.so before my database would work.

I do not use nwnx_jvm.so or nwnx_lua.so or nwnx_vaultster.so or the pgsql or the sqlite databases so those are untested by me.

I hope this post reminds me of what i need to do to make this work come next build time...

I also hope someone else finds this information useful and productive.

MetaPhaze ;)

^^ Thanks. This helped a lot and saved few hours of googling.
