Extension compiling using MetaMod - unknown symbol?

KillMan · **Author**

Hey everyone! I got a real problem while trying to compile an extension. Its ok to compile it with SourceMod included. But if i include MetaMod by uncommenting a define: sm exts load ... => unknown symbol Warning
Lul? What the hell? 🤔

How can you expect anyone to answer that with so little information?

What information do you want, lol? Including sourcemod things: extension can be loaded. Including MetaMod additionally: extension can't be loaded? 2+2=9?

I think the misunderstanding was that the server reported this error:

Code:

Undefined symbol: Warning

IIRC that's a linker-related issue; assuming you're compiling for a Linux server, compiling with Clang instead of GCC should resolve that.

That's it, i'll try today! Using GCC now

We've been trying to track down that GCC issue - what Linux distribution and GCC version are you building with?

I can't recall which project I tried compiling myself, but I believe gcc 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.11 is affected.

UPD: Switching compiler to CLang fixed a problem. Huge thanks, @nosoop!
