what to do to run on x86? #11

hi, thanks for the awesome work! i successfully ran your package on raspberry, now i'm trying to run it on x86. to make things simple (or more compatible?), installed raspbian strech x86 version on my x86 machine. i went through your instructions and it seemed to me that the only arm-dependent package is openhmd. so i installed the x86 version like so:

95 wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libo/libopenhmd/libopenhmd0_0.2.0-5_i386.deb 96 cd .. 97 sudo dpkg -i install/libopenhmd0_0.2.0-5_i386.deb 98 sudo apt-get install -f 99 sudo ldconfig

when running abbey.py demo, i get: Traceback (most recent call last): File "./abbey.py", line 7, in from vrzero import engine File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/vrzero-0.0.1-py3.5.egg/vrzero/init.py", line 2, in from .vrzero import ( File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/vrzero-0.0.1-py3.5.egg/vrzero/vrzero.py", line 6, in from .hmd import OpenHMD File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/vrzero-0.0.1-py3.5.egg/vrzero/hmd.py", line 18, in lib = cdll.LoadLibrary('libopenhmd.so') File "/usr/lib/python3.5/ctypes/init.py", line 425, in LoadLibrary return self._dlltype(name) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/ctypes/init.py", line 347, in init self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode) OSError: libopenhmd.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

"whereis libopenhmd.so" doesn't deliver anything... any clue, what to do?

It might be library version/naming, perhaps building from source will work, does issue #7 help you?

assadollahi commented 5 years ago

actually, changing the hmd.py file to .so.0 allowed me to start the demo without errors, as the OP of #7 suggested. however, now both, hmd as well as monitor turn black and i can't get out there anymore. did a remote login to reboot the machine. should i try to use the fork, you made in #7 ?

It's been a long time and this project isn't my main focus anymore so all I can suggest is give it a try.

thanks for that project, it was fun.
