Raspberry Pi 2 anyone?

Help
#185

@gepatto same thing testing AddingAnimation with openfl

#186

Strange, Let me try and rebuild again myselfā€¦

I see thereā€™s an upgrade to openfl (now on version 5.1.3).
So you will need to run:
openfl upgrade
or
haxelib update

#187

ok updated to latest lime and openfl . do i have to rebuild ?

#188

I just:

cloned the current commit from the lime GitHub repository.

git clone --recursive https://github.com/openfl/lime

rebuild lime

lime rebuild lime linux -rpi

updated all haxelib modules

haxelib update

checked version with haxelib list

lime: 5.1.0 [dev:/home/pi/Development/haxe/dev/lime]
openfl: 5.1.2 [5.1.3]

and build and openfl-sample with:

openfl test linux

This works for me and I have it running from the command line.

Itā€™s a bit tricky that lime for raspberry pi can only be built manually like this,
and you have to keep the versions of openfl and lime in sync.
They donā€™t have the same version number and that makes it a bit difficult.

Still itā€™s strange that the install script doesnā€™t work properly because thatā€™s version independent.
And I have used it for many sd-cards without problems.

@gepatto Yay ! i got it running ! iā€™ve been stuck with boot/config.txt and swapping gldrivers which have gave me some reboot errors but finally got it ! thx ! you got it right i had to get lime from github. donā€™t know why your gist made a wrong install though.
thx again !

#190

Youā€™re welcome.

I think the gldrivers might have been the real problem.
But Iā€™m glad itā€™s working now!

Have Fun!

#191

indeed ! gl drivers are not stable at all. i cannot get samples running when they are activated. So it makes it useseless. When unactivated , piratePig freezes. Aside of it on e time on 2 my menu bar disapear.

#192

how did you fix g++: error: ./hxcpp/git/lib/Linux64/liblinuxcompat.a: No such file or directory ?

#193

Try lime rebuild hxcpp linux -static

#194

@sbimikesmullin If you keep getting the linux64 errors, try setting a variable:
<set name="rpi" value="1"/>
in your . hxcpp_config.xml file in your homedirectory, like Iā€™m doing in my setup script here: https://gist.github.com/gepatto/d2248ae0f649d525667f33a4e4e21ca5#file-install_haxe_rpi-sh-L79

and then rebuild lime with
lime rebuild hxcpp linux -static
like Joshua is saying.

#195

Hi. I fired up my RPi 2 B recently and decided to give OpenFL another go as itā€™s been a while and this thread shows some promise. :slight_smile: But I had problemsā€¦ Itā€™s a Jessie based image Iā€™m using so there isnā€™t any 64bit errors as recently mentioned in this thread.

I ran the install script from the gist above (very comprehensive btw - nice job @gepatto) but unfortunately with the latest OpenFL/Lime from git, I get an error during the lime rebuild tools linux -rpi -v step.

Hereā€™s the error ā€¦ trying to g++ OpenGLBindings.cpp

In file included from ./src/graphics/opengl/OpenGLBindings.cpp:5:0:
./src/graphics/opengl/OpenGL.h:17:23: fatal error: GLES3/gl3.h: No such file or directory
#include <GLES3/gl3.h>
                       ^

I tried to comment out the GLES3 stuff in the #elif defined (EMSCRIPTEN) || defined (RASPBERRYPI) in Lime/project/src/graphics/opengl/OpenGl.h but that lead to other errors that seemed a bit tricker than just commenting things out :wink:

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

#196

Youā€™re almost there,

You have run into a small know bug in the latest commit.
the
|| defined (RASPBERRYPI)
in lime/project/src/graphics/opengl/OpenGL.h.cpp is just in the wrong place.
change line 5 to
#if defined (ANDROID) || defined (RASPBERRYPI)
and change line 13 to
#elif defined (EMSCRIPTEN)

Building as we speakā€¦ Fingers crossed. Certainly getting further than before :slight_smile:

Thanks

#198

@Greg209 Drumroll please ā€¦

#199

lime rebuild tools linux -rpi -v ā€¦ Successā€¦Yay!!!
lime rebuild lime linux -rpi -v ā€¦ Progressing but taking agggggeeeessssss

#200

@Greg209 Yes compiling lime (the first time) is very slow on a Pi.
thatā€™s why I enabled compilercache in the setup script,
so that when openfl is working and you started on your own project it doesnā€™t compile everything everytime

If compiling succeeds, just remember that on the Pi openFL does NOT run in a window.
So always add a keyboard eventlistener to the stage and listen for a key or keycombo and then call
openfl.system.System.exit(0);
in your project, otherwise there is no clean way to exit your app.

#201

Yeah - saw you comments before and now building your DisplayingABitmap. All looking good so far :slight_smile:

#202

And I Just made a pull request , and it got merged within a 2 minutes :smiley: :+1:
So now anyone should be able to just clone the repo again.

#203

Hey guys,

Hopefully this should help:

I Like it!
Maybe some might argue that they need the escape key for other purposes.
But I donā€™t think there will be many :wink:

Thnx Joshua
