Ask valve to reinstate the linux 2006 srcds.so

[mikeparker]

So we can compile under linux.

EDIT by squeek: Reopen #16 if this ever gets resolved

[mikeparker]

squeek: its even listed as a bug on the valve wiki: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_Application_IDs#Server_Files - see appid 205

[squeek502]

To clarify, this isn't needed to compile under Linux, but instead is needed to use the Linux FF server binary to run a server.

[DexterHaslem]

the build process actually looks for some of the other .so in the same appid im quite certain!

[DexterHaslem]

yep the following are required before it even tries to build:
srcds/bin/tier0_i486.so
srcds/bin/vstdlib_i486.so

@mikeparker what i said about it building and failing to link if they're missing wasn't true. They have to be present before it even starts building as the makefilecreator itself needs em too

Hi, I just want to say that the issue is not fixed at all.

There was two problems:

• it was not possible to build some things on GNU/Linux
  (seems fixed)
• it is not possible to run the server on GNU/Linux because the binaries are not available
  (not fixed at all)

Binary files like these ones:

srcds/srcds_i486
srcds/bin/datacache_i486.so
srcds/bin/dedicated_i486.so
srcds/bin/engine_i486.so
srcds/bin/tier0_i486.so
srcds/bin/unitlib_i486.so
srcds/bin/vphysics_i486.so
srcds/bin/vstdlib_i486.so

and many others are still missing.

These files are not distributed at all by SteamCMD.

Hum, sorry for the noise, following links from issues to issues I did not noticed that I had left the Valve's tracker and this one is not a tracker from Valve.

[DexterHaslem]

Well, I don't think valve will distribute them for ep1 again. If you hear otherwise definitely ping this issue again!

I also tried old linux binaries and experienced the same crashes you outlined, interesting information regarding faking cpu ids, thanks
