Intro to Linux Debugging... a)browse to your hlds directory (where srcds_amd is, etc..) b) export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=".:bin:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" c) gdb d) file srcds_amd - you should know if your system is amd, you can look at the srcds_run script to see how it checks and uses each diff binary... e) set args "-console -game mygame +map yahoo" f) run - At this point it will either be working in the game, or it will have already crashed. It will show you the gdb console when it hits a error. g) crashed to console??? bt - shows you a call stack

Hi, this is Stefan from the Resistance And Liberation team. I was told to post this here again, because it's more likely to get a helpful answer, as it's more programming related than css or dods server related. Here we go: A few days ago were offered a pub dedicated linux server so i started messing with gcc to get our code compiled for linux. It tooks me some time (2 days) and the help of another coder to get them finally compiled and we came up with a 14 mb large file. Now the problem is, this file does not work. According to the console the server starts loading the map, materials, models and so on but eventually crashes aftera few seconds repeatedly, hence the server never goes online. I further messed with some cpu flags in the make file: ARCH_CFLAGS=-mtune=i686 -march=pentium -mmmx -O3 and commented them back in, as i had them commented out for the first compile (don't ask why ). Anyway, with them in the makefile the binary compiled fine, too, was 3 mb smaller but did not even load maps or models.It eventually seemed to be worse. Adding -debug to the command line didn't work either in the way i hoped it would. When the server crashes it complains about the core dump file not being a valid core cump file: ./srcds_run: line 344: 17301 Segmentation fault (core dumped) $HL_CMD "/home/stefan/srcds/core" is not a core dump: File format not recognized No stack. debug.cmds:2: Error in sourced command file: No frame selected. Yet it creates a core file (on my pc without ID tag, on the server with ID tag) but GDB doesn't read those files and debugging the running process doesn't work either, as the adress it gives me when it stops seems to be empty. GCC, GCC-C++ and so on (whatever else is needed) is at v. 3.4.4. GLibC at v. 2.3.x (above the requirements), xerces works fine (v. 2.6 / 2.7) and i am running on various linux kernels to test the binaries. I tested it on 3 different mashines, get the same error on each mashine. The debug log reads like this: ---------------------------------------------- CRASH: Fr Sep 8 10:26:36 CEST 2006 Start Line: ./srcds_i686 -port 27015 +ip 86.110.65.5 -game rnl +maxplayers 24 +exec server.cfg -tickrate 66 -debug Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1". End of Source crash report ---------------------------------------------- i tried different binaries already (468/amd) all the same error. So for now i am stuck with a working compiler but broken binaries. I greatly appreciate any help here as i am eager to finally get a working linux build Sincerly, Stefan Bermig _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
