[astr0baby]

Opening this thread up for anybody interested in sharing their howtos for beginners to get going and playing some games on their Pinebook-Pro
I usually post fresh stuff on my twitter account https://www.twitter.com/astr0baby

Part1 of the Howtos is here
https://astr0baby.wordpress.com/2020/01/...ng-part-1/
Part2 OpenArena - Manjaro
https://astr0baby.wordpress.com/2020/01/...ng-part-2/
Part3 Half-Life 1 - Debian

Currently I have compiled and successfully ran the following games so far 

- Doom3 (via dhewm3 https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3 )  - performance is poor, getting about 4-7 FPS   - already as a .deb package in repositories
- OpenRA (Open Red-Alert  https://www.openra.net/ ) - performance is kind of ok, but slow on full HD resolution 1920x1080
- Ultima 8 (pentagram http://pentagram.sourceforge.net/ ) - works well
- Dune2 (Dune-Legacy https://sourceforge.net/projects/duneleg...cy/0.96.4/ ) - works well
- Doom/Heretic/Hexen/Strife (via chocolate-doom https://github.com/chocolate-doom/chocolate-doom ) - works well

I will add the generic howtos here as my time allows it for others to replicate the effort and confirm it works for them



Quick rule on building the source code on Linux is to first get all the necessary building tools like compilers etc in place

For Debian aarch64
===============================================
Core packages
# apt-get install build-essential cmake git

And additional libraries headers
# apt-get install libsdl2-dev

For Manjaro Linux (if you will be using this then you probably know what you are doing )
==============================================
Most of the packages needed are already present in the image, normally one uses
pacman to install stuff (there are no DEV packages in Arch linux)

Searching for packages
# pacman -Ss sdl2
Installing then the needed one
# pacman -S sdl_ttf
