Nothing happens, then I just thought there'd be a bug in the script and that it might silently install but nope, alephone still doesn't install :/

Edit: On the bright side of things I installed quakespasm and it works like a charm Smile

Strange I cannot reproduce this issue ... although there is /usr/lib/libSDL_sound_1.o.so.1 on the Manjaro install on my Pinebookpro

Nov 14 2008     libSDL_sound-1.0.so.1 -> libSDL_sound-1.0.so.1.0.2    
Nov 14 2008     libSDL_sound-1.0.so.1.0.2
Nov 14 2008     libSDL_sound.so -> libSDL_sound-1.0.so.1.0.2

pkgsrc packages should not be linked against the Manjaro libs since they use their own /usr/pkg/lib

Hey, I know I post in there a lot but I installed yquake2 this morning and the game won't run because it can't find a usable renderer :/

Edit2: I've put the rendering options to software in the game and there's no lagging anymore, the opengl options make things laggy, so I guessmy driver issue suspicions were right, do you think the p I blem is on my end or with the package??

Hi Idaho,

there are no usable panfrost drivers in pkgsrc yet to make the binaries from there to use them, so I guess the build process would have to be changed to link against the native ones in Manjaro.

Hey astr0, thanks for the answer, thanks for the clarification, thought this might be something of the kind, it's okay as the game runs smoothly with the software renderer but it'll probably become more problematic for bigger games like jedi knight (haven't tried it yet), xash or open arena if you ever make packages for them, maybe changing the build process is the easiest solution, I don't know much about this yet ^^ anyhow thanks again Smile

Also, I'll try to build cores for RetroArch in the coming days, I feel like some crucial cores are missing in the AUR (mostly paralleln64, FBNeo and maybe MAME) if I'm successful, I'll post the process here...

I will try to do a normal native Open Jedi Academy build on the Manjaro aarch64 and let you know, anyways thanks for testing the packages ! I really appreciate it Smile

I need to try the pkgsrc yquake2 with software rendering as you suggested .. I have played this in the past and it was tons of fun

That's quite an old version of Aleph One. Newer versions have much better mouse handling, and support newer data files with higher resolution textures.


A couple of days ago my patch for Aleph One landed in Mesa, so it's now possible to play it with the OpenGL renderer.

yquake2 doesn't use OpenGL very efficiently, and draws triangles two or three at a time, rather than batching them and drawing hundreds at once.

Desktop graphics cards can handle this fine, but for mobile GPUs the overhead can be high.

Although it would be possible to have batching in Mesa, that has not been implemented yet. However, gl4es, a translation library from desktop OpenGL to GLES, incorporates a batching mode that works well with yquake2.

Compiling gl4es isn't that hard:

Code:
$ git clone https://github.com/ptitSeb/gl4es
$ cd gl4es
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
$ make -j6

Then, to run yquake2:

Code:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/gl4es/build/lib:"$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" LIBGL_BATCH=5 quake2

So I haven't been able to compile the cores I wanted for RetroArch, this is very messy but as the marathon package on astr0's repo wasn't working and that I'm a big fan of Bungie's work I wanted to have these 3 awseome games on my pbp, if you want have them too, follow this guide :

First clone the repo in the directory where you store your games (personally I like to do that in "/usr/local/games/"):

Code:
git clone https://github.com/Aleph-One-Marathon/alephone/

Then run the configuration script:

Code:
cd alephone
Code:
./autogen.sh

Once the configuration is done you can build the game:

Code:
make

Once the build process is complete you can now install the game to your system:
Code:
make install

Once this is done you can now run your favorite alephone scenarios (available to download here) with the following commands:

Code:
/usr/local/bin/alephone /usr/local/games/alephone/AlephOneData/Marathon

Code:
/usr/local/bin/alephone "/usr/local/games/alephone/AlephOneData/Marathon 2"
Code:
/usr/local/bin/alephone "/usr/local/games/alephone/AlephOneData/Marathon Infinity"

As you can see the executable is stored in "/usr/local/bin" and the scenario files can be launched from anywhere but the best practice is to have a directory where you store them all like I did here in "/usr/local/games/alephone/AlephOneData/"


There you go guys, enjoy the game   Cool  
(Currently the game runs without rendering the guns, except if you switch to the software renderer, if anyone has any idea how to solve this, or maybe it's due to the fact that the current git version is buggy? Maybe icecream can tell us about this?)



In the meantime, I'd be very interested if anyone has managed to build MAME, FBNeo and paralleln64 for RetroArch, these cores are really lacking to the current RetroArch pool of cores Rolleyes

Glad that you got Alpehone to build .. it works for me too but I too do not see the weapons - see here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMVd4t2ya6c

This was only fixed in Mesa a few days ago. It hasn't made its way into Manjaro stable mesa-git yet, but it should be fixed in mesa-git from the arm-unstable repository.

Hmm, so this is as I suspected, thanks for your answer, this is valuable to have someone like you here.
