GZDoom on OpenGL ES 3.2

A port of GZDoom targeting RG351P devices specifically.

Building

Overview

First we'll compile for the host system. GZDoom is generating sources during build. We need to build the executables to do this later during the target system build.

GZDoom uses the ZMusic library for sound. We'll need this as well.

We'll use Ninja, but plain old make would probably work too.

Compile ZMusic for host:

cd ZMusic
mkdir build_host; cd build_host
cmake -G Ninja
ninja
sudo ninja install

Compile GZDoom for host system:

cd gzdoom
mkdir build_host; cd build_host
cmake .. -G Ninja
ninja

Setting up the 351ELEC toolchain:

Run make world if not done already.
Change ELEC_PATH in setup_toolchain.sh to your 351ELEC repo.
Source the script in your shell: . setup_toolchain.sh
echo $CC should now return aarch64 gcc.
Don't use normal cmake, $CMAKE has CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE set.

Compile ZMusic for target system:

Make sure to get the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX right or you'll be in pain.

cd ZMusic
mkdir build_target; cd build_target
$CMAKE .. -G Ninja -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/user/gits/351ELEC/build.351ELEC-RG351P.aarch64-dev/toolchain/aarch64-libreelec-linux-gnueabi/sysroot/usr/ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
ninja
ninja install

You should now have release libraries for ZMusic installed in the toolchain.

Compile GZDoom for target system:

cd gzdoom
mkdir build_target; cd build_target
$CMAKE .. -G Ninja -DCMAKE_POLICY_DEFAULT_CMP0058=NEW -DIMPORT_EXECUTABLES=../build_host/ImportExecutables.cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE
ninja

Running

Copy files to device:

gzdoom, fm_banks, soundfonts, *.pk3 files from gzdoom/build_target

and the ZMusic library: $CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/lib/libzmusic.so*

You'll also need a Doom WAD. Place all these in the same folder.

Joysticks work out of the box. Buttons need to be configured.

Then do LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:. ./gzdoom

Use -file <file> to load additional mods. IWADs can be chosen in the prompt on startup or with -iwad <file>

Will take a while to load due to shader compilation.

If EmuStation gets in the way, do: systemctl stop emustation

Config path: ~/.config/gzdoom/
