Problem with module for Linux

[Spoody]

I write scripts in lua, but recently I started creating a module in C++. I only know the basics of this language.
I downloaded the example, created the project for Visual Studio with premake4. on Windows all works well, but Linux throws an error "Couldn't load module library!". I would be very thankful for explanation how to create a module for Linux.

Have you made sure it's _linux on the end of the .dll file's name and not _win32?

[Spoody]

Of course

Linux binary != Windows binary.
You can't compile something on windows for linux without a crosscompilator.

And don't even try to do that. Simply burn a linux image on an USB key, boot on it, and compile on it.

[>>oubliet]

Can we see the code?

[Spoody]

Thanks! I'll try to compile it in Linux
Code from Garry's example

[Spoody]

I compiled linux-gmake using g++ and it created .so file. How I can create a .dll file?

[Grocel]

You just rename the <name>_linux.so file to a <name>_linux.dll file. Don't ask it's because Garry. What .dll file is for Windows, the .so is for Linux.

[Spoody]

I'm using premake4 created makefile, compiled it in linux, called gmsv_example_linux.dll. But it still runs with the same error.

[Azarym]

In your server, run this and give us the output:

ldd <your_module.so>

[Spoody]

sv_example.so

Ok, I'm not THAT familiar with Linux library setups in a mixed 32-bit and 64-bit environment, but I suspect that you compiled your module as 64-bit, which will never work with gmod. Make sure you compile it as 32-bit.

[Spoody]

No, I'm compiled as 32-bit. I'm run premake with platform = x32

I just booted into Linux on my laptop, special for you. This is what a working module looks like:

I'm pretty sure you compiled it as 64-bit.

Wrong, i did compile a lot of shit from WIN64 to ARM64 and i never had any problem;

It speedup the process.

Just install ubuntu with virtualbox so you can keep doing things at the same time.

I use a $5/month vps to host my teamspeak and compile things on it.
You can do the same.

I added swap to prevent segfaults while compiling and that's all.

[Spoody]

Thank you all so much! I'm compiled it as 32-bit and it works.

[Spoody]

I'm really sorry, but I ran into another strange problem. When I include the header icvar.h from SourceSDK 2013, it gives a huge pile of syntax errors. When I tried to include this header from SourceSDK 2007 I was given this

Can you explain for a noob how to include the headers from the SourceSDK in Linux?

[MeepDarknessM]

Maybe don't try to cheat?

But you are also not setting the correct paths for sourcesdk.

What do you mean?
On Windows all works well, this problem only on Linux. I do not think that this is due to paths, there is no new.h in the SourceSDK
