Cant make it to work on raspberry pi4

[TheBricktop]

Hello ive tried to install raylib_py through the pip build command but its not working correctly.

Im trying it on raspberry pi4 8gb and system is Twisteros 2.12 . Official raylib compiled without any problems whatsoever.

[electronstudio]

First, this is raylib-python-cffi and the pip package is named raylib not raylib_py so make sure you are installing the correct package.

We did used to work fine on Raspberry Pi but unfortunately I don't have one currently to test on, so the code has probably rotted. Can you post the output?

[TheBricktop]

yes sorry Ive meant : python3 -m pip install raylib Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/pi/programs/depthAI_VIO/raylibTest.py", line 1, in <module> from pyray import * File "/home/pi/programs/depthAI_VIO/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pyray/__init__.py", line 15, in <module> from raylib import rl, ffi File "/home/pi/programs/depthAI_VIO/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/raylib/__init__.py", line 15, in <module> from ._raylib_cffi import ffi, lib as rl ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'raylib._raylib_cffi'

[electronstudio]

What is output from:

pip3 install --no-binary raylib --upgrade --force-reinstall raylib

?

If you could give me remote access to your raspberry pi it would probably help.

[electronstudio]

I have done some investigation. The default 'make install' raylib install doesn't include pkg-config, so you will definately have to do a cmake install: https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/wiki/Working-on-GNU-Linux#build-raylib-using-cmake

The next issue seems to be whether we are doing X11 graphics or 'native' raspberry pi graphics. Which are you using? There seem to be some hardcoded paths for the native graphics are no longer valid.

[electronstudio]

I found an old RPI3 and tried it with latest Rasbian OS. This no longer has the libraries that were hardcoded for native graphics before.

Raylib 4.0 in native mode won't compile on RPI3.

Raylib 4.0 in X11 mode compiles but it seems to be using the llvm-pipe driver which I guess is pretty slow and not going to be usable.

Does Raylib on RP4 work with X11 and proper fast drivers? If so I might just change the build to use X11. Raylib itself doesn't even work on current Rasbian RPI3 native so seems pointless to continue to support older versions where it did work.

[TheBricktop]

While i've used raylib ive compiled both versions the cli and x11 and cli worked correctly when ive used ctrl + alt + fn1 and run from console. The x11 worked with some examples but less performant and some shaders were not working correctly.

I have raylib-python-cffi working on X11 with RP3, I think that should also work on RP4.

First, as I already said, to eliminate your first error you will need to install Raylib using cmake. Instructions are here https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/wiki/Working-on-GNU-Linux#build-raylib-using-cmake but basically it is this:

      cd raylib-4.0.0
      mkdir build
      cd build
      cmake  -DWITH_PIC=on -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release  -DOpenGL_GL_PREFERENCE=GLVND ..
      make
      sudo make install

Then install the new rraylib-python-cffi release I just put out

pip3 install raylib==4.0.0.3

To do native graphics on RP4 you would have to edit https://github.com/electronstudio/raylib-python-cffi/blob/master/raylib/build.py with whatever build flags are required for Raylib programs in this mode. I don't have RP4 so can't do much without access to one.

Will do, im getting to it .

Raylib currently has unresolved issues with native RPI4 support https://github.com/raysan5/raylib/issues/2259

So we need that to be fixed, and we need someone with a RPI4.

That'd be me While im currently using panda3d and panda 3d accesories (like ursina).

Everything should now work on RPI3 Bullseye with Raylib X11 (PLATFORM_DESKTOP) and with Raylib PLATFORM_DRM.

I haven't tested on RPI4 but the OS is the same, so if Raylib works then the bindings should work.

Older OSes and Raylib PLATFORM_RPI probably wont work.

Please reopen if not working.
