Can't run basic demos

[Sasszem]

I can't run a basic example, found on https://coaguco.tumblr.com/post/128240756897/steamworks-for-python-tutorial-linux. I downloaded this repo, used the pre-compiled .so library, and installed libsteam to /usr/lib cuz steam forgot it.
In the test folder I've got game.py, steam_appid.txt(480), SteamworksPy.so, also steamworks.pyc. The contents of game.py:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from steamworks import *

Steam.Init()

NAME = SteamFriends.GetPlayerName()
print(NAME)

They might be outdated. What error are you getting?

Hmm. Did you compile the .so file yourself or use the one in the zip?

[Sasszem]

I used the premade one cuz compiling failed.

[Sasszem]

... Now I tried to compile again, and it worked by adding -std=c++0x to the makefile. I tried this B4, but it failed... Anyway, it looks like working! Please:

• Add a working build, or at least remove it if it dosn't work.
• Correct makefile
• Add "install libsteam" to the installation notes THX!

[Gramps]

Actually the instructions as I have them work fine for me and I've not heard anyone say they don't work so far.

What do you mean "install libsteam"?

[Sasszem]

I had to install libsteam_api.so to /usr/lib to let it work. Else it didn't found it. With the default makefile, I got the following error:

laci@lacigepe:~/Dokumentumok/SteamworksForPython-master$ make

Ah, OK. This version contains functions added by a pull request that I didn't write and, clearly, didn't check first before merging. I thought that Workshop stuff seemed odd. I presumed their code was fine as it is used in a working game.

I haven't used the wrapper in a while as I've moved from my Python engine to Godot. But I'll check it out and make some changes right now.

[Sasszem]

OK then

[Gramps]

Thanks for bringing this to my attention though! Don't want to leave unworking code just lying about.

UPDATED: appropriate changes have been made. Apparently they added some C++ 11 pointers that didn't work without specifying with "-std=c++0x" or such. I added that to the makefile, changed the readme, and updated the Linux pre-build. Thanks again!
