RC2BOTS, rc2bots for linux Options

Hi Everidody ,,

I just want to know if it is possible to run the RC2BOT source on a linux machine?If yes can sommeone give me the link for the plugin?Because i think .dll are for windows only.......thanks you .....

there r lots of versions of Linux, for Red Hat , i think GCC is better

I use gcc

OK, I'm taking a look at this now. Anyone know how to convert the Microsoft Visual Studio file HPB_Bot2.vcproj to a gcc Makefile?

I've got my gcc/g++ environment working. I really want to get this Linux port working so I can use my Linux box for games only. There's a big difference of how many people join the bot server versus no bots. Right now, I'm hosting my game server on my desktop. Not ideal!

Fusionhead,

I have probably made a breakthrough with the complie for linux, however I'm running 64bit and when I perform a "make", then it comes back saying that the "CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set"!

What I have done so far is to install the HLSDK onto my linux machine and then gone to the HLSDK's linux_sdk directory and had a look at their makefile. I then installed a bit of code called xerces (as stated in the makefile) and apparently this will enable the gcc compiler to read Visual studio proj files!

I am even considering building a temporary linux 32bit machine just to compile the code!!

Regards,

T2

Hey T2, nice work. Did you get a clean compile? That would be great. I haven't had the time to work on this. A 32 bit compile should work on your 64 bit machine.

Hey Fusionhead,

Still trying to get the mod to compile...... can get a sample server plugin provided by valve to compiles OK, but the RCBot code fails in some areas. I'm no c++ programmer (can post the failures). I am trying various versions of Linux to get a decent compile environment. Have tried Mandriva, Unbuntu and have now moved on fedora core 6.
Have had best results with gcc4.1.1 but I have seen in some forums that I should be using gcc3.4.6 which gives the best results.
Am still working on it, but I can't spend too mush time on it at the moment myself.
Xerces does convert from a vcproj file to a make file... it's just getting the copiler to work with the RCBot2 code.
