can't execute dedicated_launcher #268

Closed Toni500github closed 1 year ago

Toni500github commented 1 year ago

so i have built the engine with ./waf configure -T release --64bits -d --prefix "/home/toni/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Half-Life 2/" then run ./waf install and installed the libraries to the prefix folder. everytime i try to launch dedicated_launcher it says Failed to open bin/dedicated.so (libvstdlib.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) even tho the libvstdlib.so files it's in the bin/ folder

The following is the answer given by GPT 4, hoping to be useful to you `It seems like the problem is related to not being able to find the shared libraries at runtime. You can try the following solutions:

  1. Set the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the path to the bin/ directory that contains the missing libraries:

    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/toni/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Half-Life 2/bin/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

    After setting the variable, try running the dedicated_launcher again.

  2. Alternatively, you can use the ldconfig utility to permanently include the path to the shared libraries. To do this, follow the steps below:

    a. Create or edit the file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/half-life2.conf using a text editor with root privileges. For example:

      sudo nano /etc/ld.so.conf.d/half-life2.conf

    b. Add the following line to the file:

      /home/toni/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Half-Life 2/bin/

    c. Save and close the file.

    d. Run sudo ldconfig to update the library cache.

    e. Now try running the dedicated_launcher again.

If neither of these solutions works, ensure that the libvstdlib.so file is the correct version for your system (64-bit or 32-bit) and that it is not corrupted. You may want to verify the libvstdlib.so dependencies using the ldd command:

ldd /home/toni/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Half-Life 2/bin/libvstdlib.so

If there are any missing dependencies, ensure they are installed and available on your system.`
