Load .so error

[Fabian Cenedese]

Hi

I already managed to load a .so recently but I can't get it to work on my
new PC. The Windows dll was MyDll.dll which I turned now into a .so.
ELF_LoadLibraryExA is looking for a libMyDll.so but returns with error=2.
I couldn't find out what this error means. I have my .so with same spelling
and case in various places (local to exe, windows\system, /usr/lib,
/usr/local/lib) but nothing helped. I take it that this is a Linux problem and
not from wine. Maybe something with rights?

Thanks

bye  Fabi

The error 2 is in many cases file not found.
See include/winerror.h :

78:#define ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND                               2

This error 2 is the return value of dlopen/dlerror, I don't think that
Windows errors apply here (though it may be the same error).

Rename your library to libmydll.so (all lower case) and try again.
Wine will not load any Winelib library containing any non-lower-case
character.

Actually it does quite well. The name MyDll comes out of the exe, it's
wine that turns this into libMyDll.so (and not libmydll.so). My makefile
generated .so was named libmydll.so and I had to rename it to mixed case
for wine/Linux to find it. But then it worked fine.
My last problem I had was that I just copied the existing libMyDll.so from
my old computer to the new one. Apparently this is not enough, I had to do
a make install (whatever this does besides copying) then it worked also on
the new pc. But I still wonder what this error=2 is...

But thanks for trying to help.
