Hi. I'm unable to compile this :( are there any instructions available?

What's the base requirements for a machine to be able to compile sokoban?

[DerSaxxe]

Oh... 9 years ago I had a PocketBook 622 reader. And I never tried it again to compile sokoban for newer PocketBook devices. But you need the SDK from http://pocketbook-free.sourceforge.net/en/index.shtml

I compiled it just now with the following steps at Linux for PocketBook Pro:

1. Download and extract Linux SDK 2.0.6 for PocketBook Pro to a new directory (e.g. /home/user/pocketbook)
2. Create a new directory there (e.g. /home/user/pocketbook/projects)
3. Go to this directory and run "git clone https://github.com/SIRSteiner/PBSokoban.git"
4. Go to the PBSokoban directory (/home/user/pocketbook/projects/PBSokoban)
5. Run ./makearm.sh

That's it.

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work. I fear it's a 64bit vs. 32bit issue.

And when I replace pbres with a newer version, that part works, just to fail with:

I don't know if I can help you because I am not the "original" developer. But I want to try helping. At first I want to know which SDK did you use?

[Skeeve]

I tried to use the one offered on http://pocketbook-free.sourceforge.net, but that failed.

So I tried this one: https://github.com/pocketbook/SDK_6.3.0

As I had some success now with that one compiling "sh_ivtool" by writing my own cmake file, I will try that approach now for pbSokoban and tell my progress here.

Thanks for your support.

@Skeeve did you ever have any luck with compiling this? I think it would also work in my Pocketbook InkPad Color 3 if it is able to compile with SDK_6.3.0. Now there is an even newer SDK https://github.com/pocketbook/SDK_6.3.0/releases/tag/6.8

[Skeeve]

To be honest, @diegopau, I can't remember. In fact: I completely forgot about this. I only know that I never ever compiled Sokoban for the Pocketbook.

Last thing for Pocketbook I did was preparing a GO SDK. But It's missing any graphical output.

[Skeeve]

P.S. I just saw issue https://github.com/pocketbook/SDK_6.3.0/issues/4 It links to a dockerimage which might be useful for you.

[diegopau]

@Skeeve Thank you for the quick reply. I will take a look to the Docker image!
