Problems to load a C++ tux module

[Marcus Gruendler <runner tamalin de>]

Hi,

As mentioned in the subject, I have problems loading a tux module which is 
compiled using g++. Since my application code is written in C++ I have no 
choice but to use g++ as the compiler.

I compiled everything with -fpic and the event handling code for tux looks 
like this:

extern "C" { 
#include <tuxmodule.h>
}

...

extern "C" int TUXAPI_handle_events (user_req_t *req)
{
 ...
}

extern "C" void TUXAPI_init (void)
{
 ...
}

Whenever I start tux (service tux start) I get the following message

opening shared library /var/www/tux-modules/tuxdemo.tux.so
handle: (nil)
Success: dlopen() handle missing

I don't know what's wrong, though I have to admit I am no expert in using 
dlopen() especially concering interoperability of C/C++. I know there could 
be a problem with name mangling but this should be solved by using extern "C" 
shouldn't it?

I have copied all libraries in /lib and other needed libraries to 
/var/www/html/lib (since /var/www/html is my DOCROOT) so there shouldn't be a 
problem with chroot().

Could anybody help me on this issue?

Bye, Marcus
