Compiling SourceMod Plugins

Ok, so you've read the Introduction to SourcePawn and Introduction to SourceMod Plugins and now you want to actually compile a plugin.

You'll need the compiler which is included in the .../sourcemod/scripting/ folder of the main distribution (not the SDK). Windows users will need 7-zip to extract the .tar.gz files.

In Windows, open up a command prompt (Start->Run or WindowsKey+R, then "cmd"):

cd <sourcemod>\scripting
spcomp myplugin.sp

cd command reference

In Linux use:

./compile.sh myplugin.sp

Now simply move the .smx (not .sp) file from .../sourcemod/scripting/ to the .../sourcemod/plugins/ folder.
