Hi all

Any plugin uses modules compiled in .so has stopped working in the openPli images. do you know why?

Nothing magically stops.

 

You you have to be a lot more specific. What what the situation (box type, openpli version) when it worked, and what when it no longer works? What .so files, where do they come from?

I use a plugin called uilo, on the xtrend 8000 box, with the open modules the plugin works regularly, with the modules compiled .so the plugin does not find them even if there are, this in versions 6.0 and 6.1, in version 4.0 it works regularly .

the compiler used is cython

In most cases, a new major OpenPLi version means a newer version of OpenEmbedded, with a newer version of Python, maybe a different kernel, etc.

 

On a linux system you can't simply copy binaries back and forth, they need to be compiled for a specific environment. Which is why we are so against (and so very vocal about) this kind of closed source stuff.

 

Al you can do is go back to the author, and hope it gets fixed.

Using / distributing "pre-compiled" libraries is asking for trouble. The real solution is to supply the source code so it can be compiled in the proper environment matching that on the receiver.
