sheep

Post by **caesar** » Wed Mar 05, 2003 7:04 am

I've wanted to load this sheep module and learn from it and make my own modules. The problem is that duno how to make it's makefile. I've copied the woobie's makefile and replaced inside from woobie to sheep. Did a ./configure make config and make and finaly I'm getting some errors:

What I'm doing wrong? I'm a newbie with the modules so I don't know.

I can';t be bothered looking for it, but here are some things to try.

In the woobie Makefile, there are some lines regarding the files it is including in the process.

Make sure any .h fines in the sheep module directory are included in this list.

Actualy this sheep module dosen't have any .h files, just a sheep.c file. It's made by stdragon and it's available here.

I've managed and made a module on my own but seems that I'fe forgot to put something:

foo: Error loading module: No start function defined.

What start function I must put?

Guess I must put this line: char *foo_start();

See the sheep and woobie modules, they both contain the information pertaining the start function.

THe start function sets up and binds when the module is loaded.

I'm looking but duno on what to look for

OK - there are two items you need.

1: A function table.

This has a minimum of 4 items, and defined which functions are accable outside of this module, and can provide stuff to other modules and the core.

The 4 items are the start, close, memory counter and status report functions.

These are used byt he core, thus must allways be exported.

2: There should be at least the fucntion talked of in the function table.

The sheep modules gived information ragrding both of these.
