Raspberry Pi 2 anyone?

This commit changed something that has to do with drop events, it seems to be related with my error.

Ok just confirmed that the latest commit breaks the lime rebuild process

At the moment I have to keep my changes to SDL in my own repository because it is linked to the lime repo as a submodule. But my raspbery-pi specific changes to Lime can not be incorporated into the Lime repo because they break the build process on the build server. So for every commit to lime that has changes in the sdl-submodule I will have to update my SDL repo manually. I guess I need some more Git-knowledge because I feel there should be an easier way.

I will try and update my SDL repo as soon as possible,
but in the mean time you could try and get the previous commit of lime. (I’ll update my blogpost as well)
So delete the lime dir and clone lime again

git clone --recursive https://github.com/openfl/lime.git
cd lime
git reset --hard 3a7d8b80e56579648a9364cac60f95806fa524c5

and then follow my guide again, so:
make the changes to project/build.xml again and clone my SDL repo etc.

Thanks for persevering Mathew

Thank you, I’ll try it out tomorrow

gepatto · March 4, 2016, 6:00pm

I found that in the latest lime commit the Build.xml had changed too. So the Patch from my blog and the Gist don’t work anymore with that commit.
I have updated my blog post.
You should manually edit the exisiting Build.xml file and not use the patch or GIST Entry.

Alright it works I just had to disable experimental GL drivers. Thanks again!

gepatto · March 9, 2016, 1:23pm

Great! Happy It works for you. I really hope the Raspberry Pi can be a supported platorm in the future.
So every success story will help!. Hopefully you’ll be able to post a demo of your own.

Cheers

Just a side note. I have just prepped an sd-card with ubuntu mate 15.10.3.
And the openfl demos I built on raspbian run without problems.
I just copied the bin folder and started the apps.

No notable differences.

So maybe I will try to install haxe and openfl as well and see if I can compile stuff.

raspisolidstable

sometimes haxe+lime+openfl will be “like window-manager” on raspi-kawaii
(like kimo i3 with X)

gepatto · March 20, 2016, 3:01pm

I can confirm that my instructions for building haxe / openfl /piratepig ALSO work on the latest ubuntu mate 15.10.3.

Woot.

hello all hello @gepatto.
I tried compilling some openfl on RaspBerry P3 B with no luck.
i used @gepatto’s gist and succeeded to compile haxe 3.2 and neko 2. Both run well so far. But each time i try to compile some openFl with openfl test linux or openfl test html. I get some errors i cannot resolve by myself like :

pi@raspberrypi:~/Development/openfl/openfl-samples-raspberrypi/AddingAnimation $ openfl test linux -rpi

Compiling group: haxe

g++ -Iinclude -c -fvisibility=hidden -O2 -fpic -fPIC -DHX_LINUX -DRASPBERRYPI=RASPBERRYPI -DHXCPP_VISIT_ALLOCS(haxe) -DHXCPP_API_LEVEL=331(haxe) -I/home/pi/Development/haxe/lib/hxcpp/3,4,64/include ... tags=[haxe,static]

 - src/lime/utils/AssetCache.cpp  [haxe,release]

Link: ApplicationMain

this one or sometime SDL window creation errors.

could someone give a hand on this ?

thx.

gepatto · June 11, 2017, 9:17pm

Hey @postite,

Did you use this gist?

gist.github.com

https://gist.github.com/gepatto/d2248ae0f649d525667f33a4e4e21ca5

install_haxe_rpi.sh

#!/bin/bash

# >>>>>> HELPER FUNCTIONS
function echoSection {
    echo -en "\e[33m\n" #set color
    echo "--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
    echo "--"
    echo "-- " $1
    echo "--"
    echo -en "--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\e[37m\n"

This file has been truncated. show original

It’s is not enough to compile just haxe and neko.
You should also rebuild lime for the Raspberry Pi.
If you are getting SDL warnings that means that lime isn’t compiled properly,
and it’s trying to use OpenGL instead of the special opengles library that is needed for the Pi.

Are you using a recent version of Raspbian, because that’s what the gist was tested on?

Kind Regards
Gepatto

postite · June 12, 2017, 9:15am

hi @gepato.
hi did used that gist. and i’m using raspberry pi 3b with raspian (pixel ) installed. i’ll investigate on Lime to see if it is correctly installed .
is there something to check if lime is well installed ?
do i need to install those dependencies like explained in Lime github repo ?:

On a Windows machine, you should have Microsoft Visual Studio C++ (Express is just fine) installed. You will need Xcode on a Mac. To build on a Linux machine, you may need the following packages (or similar):

sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev g++ g+±multilib gcc-multilib libasound2-dev libx11-dev libxext-dev libxi-dev libxrandr-dev libxinerama-dev

thx

when i rebuild Lime i get :

any advice?

postite · June 12, 2017, 9:24am

@gepatto in fact lime.ndll is present in the RPI folder.

gepatto · June 12, 2017, 11:26am

The last 2 lines are just a warning, you can ignore those.
I am only compiling on the Raspberry Pi FOR the Raspberry Pi.
I’m not targeting other systems. So compiling for native cpp for Mac, windows, iOS, android won’t work.
Native cpp for Raspi, html5 and swf should work though.

If you used the install script you should have working lime version.
Make sure that haxelib is targeting this lime version. Check that it’s pointing to the directory where the lime git repo was cloned. Use:

haxelib list

you should see something like: (x.x.x wil be a version number)

lime: x.x.x [dev:/home/pi/Development/haxe/dev/lime]

now run:

lime

you should see

Lime Command-Line Tools (x.x.x)
Use lime setup to configure platforms or lime help for more commands

now create a simple project or use one of the slightly modified examples from my repo:

These samples have a standard stage eventlistener for KeyDown so you can quit the program with the ESC key.
On Raspberry Pi all openfl apps are windowless so you can’t close a window.

postite · June 12, 2017, 11:29am

that’s exactly what i have but still no luck with sdl renderer

gepatto · June 12, 2017, 11:30am

Can you post the exact error?

Can you try to replace the lime.ndll with the one you can download here:
[ link removed]

To see if it might be something other than lime.

OW and you shouldn’t have enabled the experimental OPENGL driver!
