Hi!

I've tried half the day to compile in Linux, no go...

On recent linux distro's, when trying to compile bmk using BlitzMax 1.50, I get the following error:
loadlib.c: undefined reference to 'dlsyml'
loadlib.c: undefined reference to 'dlerror'
loadlib.c: undefined reference to 'dlopen'
loadlib.c: undefined reference to 'dlclose'

(or similar)

Which originates from the PuB,Lua module....

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Reason: I've created a module I want to test in linux, it works fine now on windows x86 and x64.

Someone suggests several places online that these compiler options has to be in place to compile successfully (g++ i think):
-Wl,--no-as-needed

(as recent versions compiles with --as-needed as default (?))

But how to do it in Linux, env var BMK_LD_OPTS doesn't seem to work in linux.

The default BlitzMax 1.50 needs some lines added to pub.mod/lua.mod/lua.bmx

?Linux
Import "-ldl"
?

Thanks Brucey!

I tried importing it in frisky.bmx...

(banging head against wall).

Now it works ok!

Also, to rebuild modules in Blitzmax 1.50, in fl_draw.cxx (fltkmaxgui.mod/src folder), you have to move this line:

#define min(a,b) ((a)<(b)?(a):(b))

to beneath:

#include <math.h>

in order to compile the fltkmaxgui module successfully on recent linux distros.
