Games compilation howto on the Pinebook-pro (Manjaro Linux and Debian native)

[astr0baby]

Another interesting game that I wanted to check if it works on the Pinebookpro Manjaro 20.4
is the Endless Sky

https://github.com/endless-sky/endless-sky

However Endless Sky requires OpenGL 3.0 as minimum and Pinebookpro Manjaro 20.4 ships only OpenGL 2.1 with mesa-git

There is a patched version that works on the Pinebookpro

Make sure you git clone the gl21 branch


$  git clone -b gl21 https://github.com/SolraBizna/endless-sky

The standard OpenGL 3 version works fine for me:

Code:

$ MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.3 MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=330 ./endless-sky

Good to know ! :) I was not aware you can force older GL versions like this
