Installation problems

[antsiro]

Hello Wayne, Thank you for your project. Trying to install on Pi 4B on the Ubuntu server (Linux ubuntu 5.4.0-1069-raspi) Somehow this package is 32bit: sudo dpkg --install libopenhmd0_0.3.0-1_armhf.deb dpkg: error processing archive libopenhmd0_0.3.0-1_armhf.deb (--install): package architecture (armhf) does not match system (arm64) Errors were encountered while processing: libopenhmd0_0.3.0-1_armhf.deb

Should I enable Multiarch support or do you have an arm64 version of the deb package?

Hi,

Please have a look at the RaspbianStretch_20180313 branch, there are some Pi 4 install instructions, e.g. installing a specific commit of OpenHMD from source.

Hope that helps.

Hi, thanks for a quick response. Sorry, I don't see these instructions from source nor the source files to build it. Could you please tell me where I get the sources (I assume your deb package contained some patch of openhmd), is there a special configuration needed and I'll build it with cmake? Otherwise I can download it from openhmd site (https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/libopenhmd-dev) and install.

my bad, instructions are here: https://github.com/WayneKeenan/python-vrzero/blob/master/INSTALL.md#3-install-openhmd

snippet:

sudo apt-get remove libopenhmd0 libopenhmd-dev

git clone https://github.com/OpenHMD/OpenHMD

cd OpenHMD
git checkout 71829a902b8135e8e5557faaa488dc800685c949

sudo apt-get install cmake libsdl2-dev libhidapi-dev libhidapi-hidraw0
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..  -DOPENHMD_DRIVER_PSVR=ON -DOPENHMD_EXAMPLE_SIMPLE=ON  -DBUILD_BOTH_STATIC_SHARED_LIBS=ON
make  
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

The deb package was created as a by-product of checkinstall. (https://wiki.debian.org/CheckInstall) Also, if you'd prefer to keep your system packages sane use that instead of make install

super, thanks a lot!
