Can't load plugins on linux

[Kiakra]

Hello, i was using this library on macos and it worked just fine with my setup and project. I switch to the linux and i compiled it but the cr_plugin_update() function returns -2. According to the cr.h file // -2 to differentiate from crash handling code path, meaning the crash // happened probably during load or unload and not update I didn't understand why this happened, so i tried to run the samples with fips. It worked but i use shell scripts for compiling for my projects and i tried to compile the basic_guest and basic_host files like this clang -shared basic_guest.c -fPIC -o basic_guest.so clang++ -std=c++17 basic_host.cpp -ldl -o basic_host

and again, the cr_plugin_update() function gives me -2 I am 100% sure i am putting the exact path to the plugin. From what i understand it is a compiler thing. I also tried using optimizations(and without it), with gcc, looked at auto generated fips files and used the flags that fips used still not working

Hello, you're missing two things, the first is the lib prefix for linux (you can change it in the CR_PLUGIN macro if you want, but try this: clang -shared basic_guest.c -fPIC -o libbasic_guest.so

and then, the CR_DEPLOY_PATH in the second command (which you can also change to something specific to your setup): clang++ -std=c++17 basic_host.cpp -DCR_DEPLOY_PATH="\".\"" -ldl -o basic_host

With these, you should be able to find the plugin.

If you want to contribute a Makefile for the samples, please submit a PR and I'll gladly accept it.

Oh, i did not see lib prefix. Thank you for your reply this solved my problem. If i find a empty space for makefiles, i will probably open a PR for it.
