[Solved] Can't run hlds on linux on windows

KiLLeR. · **Author**

I have installed Bash on Ubuntu on Windows and when I tried to start hlds:

Code:

iliyan@ASUS:~$ cd /mnt/d/Documents/CS_Servers/steamcmd/rehlds_linux/
iliyan@ASUS:/mnt/d/Documents/CS_Servers/steamcmd/rehlds_linux$ ./hlds_run -game cstrike +maxplayers 8 +map de_dust
Auto-restarting the server on crash
./hlds_linux: 1: ./hlds_linux: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

HLDS is a freshly installed through steamcmd. Also I updated to ReHLDS, including ReGameDLL and Metamod-R. There is no AMXX, just clean platfrom.

P.S.: Before updating to ReHLDS, I had tried too, but without success.

Bash on Ubuntu supports only x64 applications. I tried qemu-i386, but I had some problems: pthread and non 64-bit stat. To solve problem with pthread you need to remove steam usage from HLDS (I've done this with engine patching). To fix a problem with stat I've made a workaround that wraps stat call and calls stat64.

Better do it in a virtual machine running Linux. x86 support is currently the top 6th on UserVoice but nothing is being done.

So there's no way I can do it with Ubuntu Bash, unless there's x86 support, but according to what I read, they have no such plans.
Thanks anyway.
