EDIT: I finally figured how to get steam working. Check this thread for Instructions:
https://forum.thegamecreators.com/thread/222679
I misunderstood the -shared flag in g++
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Has anyone been able to get the steam API working with the agk linux template? I'm getting an error that wants libAGKLinux.a to be recompiled with the "-fPIC" flag.
This is what I've done so far.
1> Make sure Steam is running and you are logged into the account where you paid your Product Submission Fee.
2> Download the steam sdk and extract it into your template folder. It should add a folder called "sdk".
3> Edit MakeFile
Change:
INC = -I../../common/include -I../../common -I../interpreter -I../../bullet -I../../bullet/BulletCollision/CollisionShapes
To:
INC = -I./sdk/public/steam -I../../common/include -I../../common -I../interpreter -I../../bullet -I../../bullet/BulletCollision/CollisionShapes
Change:
CFLAGS = -02
To:
CFLAGS = -02 -fPIC
Change:
# link the .o files
Executable: | $(OBJS)
$(CC) $(OBJS) -o build/LinuxApp$(ARCH) $(LDFLAGS) -Wl,-Bstatic -lAGKLinux -lglfw3 -Wl,-Bdynamic -lGL -lXt -lX11 -lXxf86vm -lXrandr -lpthread -lXi -lXinerama -lXcursor -lcurl -lopenal -ludev -ldl

4>Add "libsteam_api.so" in the template directory. It is located in "sdk\redistributable_bin\linux64"
5>Create a text file called "steam_appid.txt" and type your app id number. Save this file and place it in the directory that will contains the complied executable file.
6>Edit template.c to the following:
// Includes
#include "template.h"
#include "steam_api.h"
#include <string>
// Namespace
using namespace AGK;
using namespace std;
app App;
bool bResult = false;
void app::Begin(void)
{
agk::SetVirtualResolution (1024, 768);
agk::SetClearColor( 151,170,204 ); // light blue
agk::SetSyncRate(60,0);
agk::SetScissor(0,0,0,0);
bResult = SteamAPI_Init();
}
int app::Loop (void)
{
if (bResult)
{
agk::Print("Success...");
string sSteamName = SteamFriends()->GetPersonaName();
CSteamID steamId = SteamUser()->GetSteamID();
int iSteamID = steamId.GetAccountID();
agk::Print(sSteamName.c_str());
agk::Print(iSteamID);
}
else agk::Print("Failed...");
agk::Sync();
return 0; // return 1 to close app
}
void app::End (void)
{
SteamAPI_Shutdown();
}
