Linux Errors - READ ME BEFORE YOU ASK A QUESTION!

[Acolyte]

The purpose of this document is to help people that may have installed mysql RPM's directly from MySql's site. Trying to do a make on EMuShareMem will generate the following error:

EMuShareMem]# make
gcc -g -shared -Wl,-soname,libEMuShareMem.so -o libEMuShareMem.so MMFMutex.o Doors.o Items.o Spells.o NPCTypes.o NPCFactionLists.o MMF.o Loot.o ../common/timer.o ../common/unix.o ../common/EMuShareMem.o -L. -lstdc++ -lm -lz `mysql_config --libs`
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [libEMuShareMem.so] Error 1

This is caused by incorrect RPM install path in MySql's RPM file (not pointing to the right location of mysqlclient). Below is a NEW makefile that will fix your problem. You can copy and paste this into your EMuShareMem makefile and do a regular make (NOTE:If this still does not work for you, check your mysql directories and make the change in the makefile accordingly):

APP=libEMuShareMem.so
SF=MMFMutex.o Doors.o Items.o Spells.o NPCTypes.o NPCFactionLists.o MMF.o Loot.o ../common/timer.o ../common/unix.o ../common/EMuShareMem.o

CC=gcc
LD=ld
DFLAGS=-DDEBUG=1 -DSHAREMEM -DCATCH_CRASH
WFLAGS=-Wall -Wuninitialized -Wwrite-strings -Wcast-qual -Wbad-function-cast -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-deprecated -Wnested-externs -Wcomment -Wcast-align
OPTS=$(WFLAGS) $(DFLAGS) -g -fPIC -O2 -D_GNU_SOURCE -DINVERSEXY -DFX `/usr/bin/mysql_config --cflags` -DEMUSHAREMEM
LINKOPTS=-L. -lstdc++ -lm -lz -L/usr/lib/mysql -L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient -ldl





all: $(APP)



$(APP): $(SF)
$(CC) -g -shared -Wl,-soname,$(APP) -o $(APP) $(SF) $(LINKOPTS)

clean:
rm -f $(SF) $(APP)

%.o: %.cpp
$(CC) $(COPTS) -c $< -o $@

.obj/debug.o: ../common/debug.h ../common/debug.cpp
mkdir -p .obj
$(CC) $(COPTS) -c ../common/debug.cpp -o .obj/debug.o

I hope this works for you. Please post here if you have any questions or comments or just want to date me.

You can't use the word SERVER in your Servername, nor can it be 4? charachters or less.
