Best linux compiler - D4rkBlade - 17.12.2008

Hello,

I am developing some plugins for a server, but last week they installed linux in the server's datacenter. I'm not experienced with linux and unix systems. What linux compiler should I use to compile Visual C++ files without problems?

Re: Best linux compiler - D4rkBlade - 17.12.2008

Yeah, I know all that, I have adapted my whole code to work on linux and windows.
I am asking here because I saw some plugins like IRC that compiles in the both platforms.
Another question: Can I compile .so's on Windows using makefiles?

Re: Best linux compiler - Kowalski - 17.12.2008

I'm using G++. I write the codes with gedit and after complie it with the 'g++' command.

I will use G++ too, it has windows and linux editions.
Thanks for the tip

Re: Best linux compiler - Kowalski - 25.12.2008

I had no idea where to post this problem, so I post it here. I want to make a plugin under Linux, but I have problems with the SA:MP Plugin SDK. I didn't touch the files, just unpack them in a folder. I built the files (helloworld.cpp and amxplugin.cpp) and I got 9 warnings. But not that's my problem. When I try to link the files, the linker gives an error: undefined reference to `main'. I have no idea how to use the helloworld.def file (under Linux). Someone knows the answer?

The commands I used:

g++ -DLINUX -Iamx/ -c helloworld.cpp ../SDK/amxplugin.cpp
g++ -DLINUX -Iamx/ -o HelloWorld helloworld.o amxplugin.o

I almost forgot, I'm using G++ complier.

Doesn't work. Gives the same error with the 9 warnings. And how can I use the helloworld.def?

I quoted this from the SDK's readme.txt file:

Linux also needs the compile flags "-DLINUX -Iamx/" with your favorite compiler

You don't need that on linux

and maybe your code would help us more... can't see any issues with "main" at this very moment, except the sa:mp server calls the function Load.

Also, the libraries are different, so it's highly unlikely, unless you've exactly followed POSIX specifications, that you code will work without modification on Linux. Porting code from one platform to another is not simple. However, in answer to your question, GCC.
I had only 2 small problems porting my mysql-plugin to linux, which included not to use #include <windows.h> and change the mysql-include to <mysql/mysql.h>[me=mabako]throws some std classes around[/me]

I got these errors with running the G++ complier on the SDK. I tried to compile the getch.c file too, but nothing changed.

EDIT:

I fixed all warnings with changing the logprintf format's type from char * to const char *, and redefined PACKED to simly packed (#define PACKED packed). The error still remain...

EDIT:

I almost forgot, that I changed one line in the amx.h file at the top of the file. When I tried to compile the files, the compiler didn't find the sclinux.h. So I had to replace the #include <sclinux.h> with the #include "sclinux.h".



EDIT:

I was dumb sorry, I know now how to compile it right, forgot everything I said before. Here's a new problem:

I compiled as the compiler said (replaced -shared with -fPIC), and now gives again the 'main reference error' I mentioned above.

Doesn't matter, I have a 64bit Linux system?

I always get this error:

Compiling a C++ project with a Python compiler? I don't think it works, but I give a try. How can I download it?

Ковалски

Re: Best linux compiler - Kowalski - 26.12.2008

I have Linux Ubuntu 8.10 84bit version.

Ковалски

Re: Best linux compiler - Kowalski - 26.12.2008

So I have to replace my system with a 32bit one... great... any advice?

Re: Best linux compiler - Kowalski - 27.12.2008

Thank you Y_Less! I reinstalled my operation system. It's now a 32bit Ubuntu. Now works the plugin perfect!

_________________________________________________

Next Question: Is that possible to install the Visual C++ compiler on Linux (32bit)? The synaptic package manager didn't find it, so I turn here to advice.

Re: Best linux compiler - Streetplaya - 27.12.2008

No. Visual C++ is Microsoft. Linux and Microsoft dont like each other..

That's true, Microsoft doesn't develop softwares for Linux. I need a compiler to create DLLs and EXEs. Maybe it is possible with WINE or with something else?

Re: Best linux compiler - Y_Less - 28.12.2008

You can't make EXEs and DLLs on Linux, it doesn't use them.
