I have troubles compiling angelscript in linux. I don't have a 64bit machine. I compiled the library by using the unmodified makefile in /mingw. the library file I renamed from .a to .so and copied it into my /usr/local/lib/ dir. when compiling I get the following errors:

obj/linux/debug/i_script.o(.text+0x3da): In function `afascumm::ScriptMgr::ScriptMgr[not-in-charge]()':
src/i_script.cpp:63: undefined reference to `asCreateScriptEngine'
obj/linux/debug/i_script.o(.text+0xe60): In function `afascumm::ScriptMgr::ScriptMgr[in-charge]()':
src/i_script.cpp:63: undefined reference to `asCreateScriptEngine'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [foa2] Error 1

any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you very much for the suggestion WitchLord.

I've taken a look at the makefile of another library I already got to compile. Apparently it builds a .a file and is linked properly. So I can just skip the renaming part. "ar rs" seems to be the proper cmds for creating a statically linked lib.

Maybe the fault lies in my linking order or might there be a missing #define?

This the makefile I use (usually SRCNAMES is one line):

ok I finally managed :)

it really was the linking order. I tried compiling one of the angelscript tests and as that worked flawlessly (yay, nice work!) it was obvious that something with my own project had to be wrong. I feel silly for not having tested one of the original progs first.

anyway... somehow it was important for the final linking of my project to add the "-langelscript" parameter _after_ all other parameters, including the object files. I'm a bit puzzeled about that as the other librarys work fine and follow right after the gcc command.

I've sent you an updated version of the linux makefile in case you are interested.

again, thanks for your quick replies WitchLord!
