Linux64 bit support

[jpoirier]

Alright, the first flight with the Linux 64-bit plugin just took place a couple of hours ago. There's one more test that needs to be run regarding system ID's, then I'll get this rolled into the main distribution and get it announced.

That's great to hear!

And thanks for putting in the time and effort to do this considering the very small demographic.

This is great news Kieth.
I consistently get about 20% greater frame rate flying on Linux with similar rendering settings so I am really looking forward to this.

Ok the main distribution has been updated and includes linux 32/64-bit support. Go for it.

X-Plane crashed at start-up for me the first time trying the plugin due to a missing lib, so I did:
$ sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1.3.5 /usr/lib/libudev.so.0

That fixed the start-up problem but when I try to connect to the PilotEdge network X-Plane crashes.

The relevant x-plane log.txt output:
ATC audio initialized.
--=={This application has crashed because of the plugin: PilotEdge}==--

And the PilotEdge_out.txt output:
Starting up: PilotEdge client, V1.1.1
initVoice with device alsa_output.usb-Logitech_Logitech_USB_Headset-00-Headset.analog-stereo, returned 0
PilotEdge initialized
Setting up connection details...
Checking for slaves...

Not much to go on so I'll try and debug later this morning. Probably an incompatible *.so.?

Joe, and the fun begins. My limited ability to test this is going to make this tricky, but we have seen this running on another 64-bit system without issue.

Can you try connecting in a part of the world with 0 traffic? I'd like to see if it's traffic related or not.

Joe, also what distro/arch and xplane10 version you're using? I am using it on Kubuntu 14.04 64bit and have used it flawlessly for numerous hours now.

Joe, also what distro/arch and xplane10 version you're using? I am using it on Kubuntu 14.04 64bit and have used it flawlessly for numerous hours now.

The kernel version is 3.13.0-37-generic 64-bit and the distro is Elementary OS Freya, which is Ubuntu based. X-Plane runs fine with the PilotEdge plugin loaded, it only crashes when I try to connect to the PilotEdge network.

[edit] ...and X-Plane 10.30.

Crash on connect as described by Joe

System is Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit, X-Plane 10.30r2 (64-bit build 103010)

I just tried it on my 64 bit Gentoo system. Had to install libpng-1.2.51, so I assume it was built against an older version of libpng. Had 1.6.12 installed, and simply symlinking to the newer version did not work. I built libpng-1.2.51 (in the 1.2 slot). which resolved the issue.

X-Plane then recognized the plugin, but I'm seeing the same behavior as above. The plugin let me set my audio output preference. It errored properly a few times while I sorted out my credentials. Once that was corrected, and it could actually connect... CTD. Log.txt blames the PilotEdge plugin. PilotEdge_out.txt ends after "Connected to PilotEdge server".

Update: Ran it through gdb to see if I get anything useful:

Just to add my 0.02 to this thread. My system. Unbuntu 14.04 LTS 32 Bit. I'm running X-Plane 10.25 and 10.30.

Let me start out by saying, "Thank-you". The new PilotEdge plug-in is much better than the previous version. I just completed a full flight using X-Plane 10.25. Communitions worked fine (previous attempt went to 100% CPU everytime PPT was activated).

I can add that the combination of PilotEdge and Vatsim/XSB Plug-ins don't appear to play well together. Removed the Vatsim/XSB as a work around.

HOWEVER. I am unable to get the PilotEdge plug-in to load on X-Plane 10.30. The snip from the log.txt follows:

>>Log.txt 10.30
Fetching plugins for /home/wmburns/X-Plane 10-Beta/Resources/plugins

Loaded: /home/wmburns/X-Plane 10-Beta/Resources/plugins/PluginAdmin/32/lin.xpl (xpsdk.examples.pluginadmin).

dlerror:/home/wmburns/X-Plane 10-Beta/Resources/plugins/PilotEdge/lin.xpl: undefined symbol: __stack_chk_fail_local

Loaded: /home/wmburns/X-Plane 10-Beta/Resources/plugins/Xsaitekpanels/lin.xpl (saitekpanels.hardware uses hidapi interface).
<<

Note, the X-Plane 10.30 works fine in offline mode. By the way, this is the same error I got the previous time I attempted to test Linux 32bit/X-Plane 10.30/PilotEdge. Was the 32 bit PilotEdge client re-worked to match the 64 bit version?

My long term plan is to create a new Unbuntu 14.04 64 bit mule system to test the 64 bit operation but I'm not there yet.

Any ideas about the undefined symbol? I did run an LDD against the Resources/plugins/PilotEdge/lin.xpl with clean output.

Again, thanks for the hard work done so far.
