Raspberry Pi port for Zandronum #8

Open Fincer opened 9 years ago

Fincer commented 9 years ago

As you have successfully compiled zdoom for Raspberry Pi, I'm curious if the same could be done for Zandronum. It has basically very same codebase, additionally having multiplayer support.

I have compiled Zandronum server on Raspberry Pi (ARMv6 v6l) but running it causes fatal errors, so some code tweaking should be done. I'm not an expert of tweaking the source code.

Why then? There is a real lack of online doom server software for Raspberry Pi. Advantages of Raspberry Pi are low power consumption and 24/7 uptime which can't really be achieved in the same scale using a laptop or desktop PC as a hosting server. Personally, I'm interested in running a small Zandronum server for several players but can't do that now due to lack of ARM support.

Thank you.

The Raspberry Pi firmware is going through some growing pains right now. There's an error in the firmware that has yet to be addressed and causing issues with some programs, including SDL. Read about it here: https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/354

This might be possible now if the code has been updated to SDL2.
