Compile on Win32 / Linux difference ??

James · **Author**

Hello,
I run some hlds's on Linux, some on Windows. When I compile plugins on linux(gentoo), .amxx files have bigger size than win32 .amxx. It is laborious, besides, you offer Web compiler! Web compiler produce only one .amxx isnt'?

For sure I compile my plugins 2 way, for Linux on linux, for Windows on Windows.

So my question: is better to compile one script on multiple platforms? Or really doesnt matter where are plugin compiled, and distributing one .amxx is good for me?

Thx for answers

It shouldnt matter if a plugin is compiled using the web compiler for windows or linux. The outputted amxx file is the same for either platform.

Its the core modules and so forth that are OS dependent.

And when I use compiler on windows for example? Should I use output plugin for Linux too? Or Linux compiled .amxx on Windows? I believe that works, but when sizes are others i need sureness i will not loose some power of machine ;)

I've adminned both linux and win32 machines, and at the time i compiled plugins for the linux machine on a win32 machine w/out any problem.

I wouldnt worry about it. The .amxx that the webcompiler spits out will work for both win32 and linux machines.

James: Make sure the include folder is the same at both machines, the stocks probably make the difference in filesize.

I BELIEVE that the reason linux would be bigger is due to it shoving 64 bit into the file alongside 32 bit.

I use latest include files from 1.76c install for linux and windows..

I've found that simply changing the output filename can change the size of the file by a few bytes. If the difference is only a few bytes it's probably because the path to the plugin you are compiling is longer in linux.

I have differences like this:
.sma 29kB
.amxx linux 36.3kB
.amxx win32 32,5kB

.sma 7,6kB
.amxx linux 6,2kB
.amxx win32 5,6kB

Simply put, the source is not the same on both machines.
