How to get main.cs to compile to DSO?

#1 This requires two things:

1. You actually compile it into a DSO

2. YOu change the engine source code to not locate and find "main.cs". You will need to change the code to locate and execute the DSO instead.

#2 As an addendum to number 2, the place to change it in the source code is in the source/game folder, defaultGame.cc, line 257.

const char* defaultScriptName = "main.cs";

#3 Thanks Mike! I was too tired/lazy to look that up =)

#4 I would cheat on your debug builds and have it look for main.cs first and then look for main.dso if main.cs does not exist - #ifdef this out so it just looks for main.dso in release builds.

#5 I've set defaultScriptName to "main.cs.dso" (when it's a release), and the game does not launch.

And yes, the file is there.

#6 Debug, set breakpoints, follow the rabbit....

#7 Oh, hell - just realized why it doesn't launch - it's trying to compile the compiled script. You have to tell it what to do with the pre-compiled script. The console function exec() does this - it's in console/consoleFunctions.cc around line 996.
