Compiling lime legacy on RPi2

Help
#1

Hi,
I am trying to run openfl app on RPi2 and I am forced to use legacy version (due to the haxeui lib).
I can compile app, but when I try to run it, it complains about missing lime-legacy.ndll. Which is indeed missing. I tried to compile it with lime rebuild linux -Dlegacy -Drpi. While it reports no errors, it seems that it ignores the legacy flag and compiles normal version.

Is there any way to work around this?

I am using dev versions of lime/openfl/hxcpp/haxelib.

Thanks

The dev version of openfl doesn’t have the legacy codebase anymore,
you can still find it in the openfl3 branch.

git checkout openfl3

#3

Thanks for pointing me in this direction.

Anyone following this path:

  1. you must also checkout lime to master branch (not devel)
  2. dont forget to switch haxelib dev
  3. you must patch legacy build file in similar way to the http://www.gepatto.nl/get-piratepig-running-on-a-raspberry-pi-2-with-raspbian-jessie/
  4. also in the build file patch in correct SDL paths (hint sdl-config --libs)
  5. last error you should encounter is missing CapabilitiesGetScreenModes. Workaround for now is to skip it https://muut.com/i/openfl/installation:haxeopenfl-on-a-raspberry?page=2

Originally I planned to upload compiled ndll, but since there were few hacky solution on this path to fruition I am hesiting now.

Result is somewhat slow, but it’s definitely step in the right direction.

Thanks again @ibilon
