OSX - where are the plugins? **FIXED** details in thread

Built from CVS just now and I cannot find the ".so" for the plugins - I've never been able to build them.
When I look in ~/cvs/bzflag/plugins I see the source for the plugins, and in the one I am mainly interested in I see these files.
Code: Select all
Makefile
CVS
Makefile.am
Makefile.in
playHistoryTracker.cpp
playHistoryTracker.def
playHistoryTracker.sln
playHistoryTracker.vcproj
I've been told that the ".so" files would get built into /usr/local/lib/ but I don't see anything bzf related in there.
So do I need to do something to create these final ".so" files? I've tried using "./configure --enable-plugins" and then "make" - is there a switch for that "make" to create what I need?
When I try "/listplugins" on my running server I get [unknown command] - so something is wrong with what I am doing.
OSX 10.4.4 - Xcode 2.2.1

Try ./configure --enable-shared --enable plugins
Dunno about Mac but nothing goes to /usr/local/lib unless you run makeinstall on most *nixes (unless you built them).

If you can't find the .so file check in .lib/ (note the dot) in the plugin directory
This was causing me some problems last night.

I might be getting closer, but it still doesn't seem to work.
I built from CVS tonight and now my server at least recognizes the command to
/listplugins (No Plug-ins loaded)
But I still do not see any "*.so" files anywhere - should then be in the "plugins" folder after the make?
Now inside the bzfag/plugings/playHistoryTracker folder I see:
Code: Select all
CVS
Makefile
Makefile.am
Makefile.in
playHistoryTracker.cpp
playHistoryTracker.def
playHistoryTracker.la
playHistoryTracker.lo
playHistoryTracker.o
playHistoryTracker.sln
playHistoryTracker.vcproj
which is different than my previous build - I even tried to cd into that directory and "make" in there with no luck.
When I do
/loadplugin, the log clearly shows that bzfs is looking in /usr/local/lib - so I guess that's where the plugins need to be to load, if I could get them to build.
Any other suggestions? Maybe I need to do something in Xcode? Hmm?

You need to do "make install" after "make". That should fix it.

Yea!!! that did it - thanks meteor!
but now I get this error:
Code: Select all
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: __Z15bz_debugMessageiPKc
Referenced from: /usr/local/lib/playHistoryTracker.so
Expected in: flat namespace
dyld: Symbol not found: __Z15bz_debugMessageiPKc
Referenced from: /usr/local/lib/playHistoryTracker.so
Expected in: flat namespace
I'll start looking for that solution now.

Glad you're one step further.
But I don't know about that error... hmmm... what GCC version are you using? (run command: "gcc_select")

Current default compiler:
gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5250)
Just tried it again and got the same error - no other info here on these boards about a "flat namespace" error.
Hmmmm...
Edit:
I googled that error and found that gcc4 is the problem
After running
gcc_select 3.3 and building again I get
Code: Select all

for the tips!
