definitely x-compiles okay. doubtful you mean that.

Following roughly those instructions (for about 5 mins) I get
That sort of thing you mean?
probably needs to have a look in the make file. see what it's complaining about.
EDIT: Hmm.. looks like it is probably
The joys of cross compiling ey?
I'm no x-compiling expert sadly but there are some on here (among other places)
I also checked out http://icculus.org/quake2/

IF I had to guess I would say that the target type is missing from the makefile
(looks like someone's mum made it)
Hope you get your answers. Possibly not an option without re-writing the make(s).
how sad.
So, as a list of possible targets I found SDL, IRIX, i386(Win and Linux) SOLARIS but no mention of ARM, GAH!
still elf is nearly arm... could be done

I tried again and even AA-Lib is failing for me. All due to the ARM:
Code:
checking host system type... Invalid configuration `armv6l-pc-linux-gnu': machine `armv6l-pc' not recognized
I'm really not knowledgeable enough to be rebuilding make files

I'd like to do this but I don't even know where to start. I guess learning about cross compiling and deconstructing the way ELF is installing the proper things.
Well I'm going to still make my efforts by spreading this to the pool of Pi users. It's about all I can do at this point...
Thanks for sharing this with me though! I have been keeping this on the down-low but, I also have been having a discussion with the Linux compiler guy from the ASCII Portal game:
http://cymonsgames.com/asciiportal/
This might be fun for you guys to work on. I couldn't get this to compile on the Pi earlier, despite his help building a better make file. I still fail installing this PDsomething software. You might have some luck though. If you're interested I can send you the Makefile that he provided me!

It is always worth the time to grep anything on-hand for the first time for 'uname'.
Three choices:
Re-write the makefile (and push the changes back to the author) ;
Build it native (either on real hardware or under emulation) ;
Try building it using scratchbox2 (which is intended for these cases and often works).

Thanks for the tip knc1, I might have to try scratchbox2 then. Let me whip up an article and see if I can't get someone to build a nice Makefile for us to share.

Hi qlob, I also had some issues with acquiring this file this morning. Seemed like sourceforge mirrors were failing. I just retried a few times and it picked it up. Small file too, went fast. Try again if you're still having issues message me.
