Dingoo A320 forum

Would love this to get converted, if possible.

http://freedroid.sourceforge.net/download.php

Mee to please.

I got as far as downloading the source and getting it compiled and running on ubuntu (Tip: to get past the segmentation fault use gksudo freedroid).

I then used the toolchain and instructions for compiling for the dingoo but got errors like:

init.o: In function `stat':
/usr/include/sys/stat.h:453: undefined reference to `__xstat'
bullet.o: In function `getchar':
/usr/include/bits/stdio.h:47: undefined reference to `_IO_getc'
misc.o: In function `fstat':
/usr/include/sys/stat.h:467: undefined reference to `__fxstat'
misc.o: In function `stat':

text.o: In function `DisplayChar':

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [freedroid] Error 1

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/john/Downloads/freedroidgp2x-0.6'

Unfortunately this is only third time getting something compiled for dingoo [first 2 times worked ok but was only simple sdl demos] and less than double figures for compiling in general. On other words I don't have a clue what I am doing but am willing to give it a bash (no pun intended)

It looks like its using your system include files, not the toolchain includes. Id suggest lookin around the forums for some suggested configure lines. If there isnt a configure script then your going to have modify the makefile to point to the right include directories.

Thanks for the tip.
Up to now I have been using:

export PATH="${PATH}:/opt/mipsel-linux-uclibc/usr/bin"

./configure --host=mipsel-linux --target=mipsel-linux --with-sdl-prefix=/opt/mipsel-linux-uclibc/usr --enable-static

Update: I looked in the Makefile after the configure and did notice a couple of entries like:
X_CFLAGS = -I/usr/include
X_LIBS = -L/usr/lib

which look suspicious (how would I know ). I am off to work but I might try hacking the Makefile later tonight and see if anything drops out.

yea, those arent correct, there should be extra options you can add before the ./configure itself to direct it to the correct location of the includes and libs

Just done something really cool! I got it running on the dingoo YEEHAA! Just got to figure out how to change the controls.

That would be so cool as the C64 emu seems a while in coming.

Excellent work!

ok : first the disclaimer. This should be seen as an Alpha (just for fun) and not a release.

just unzip it to dingux and create the usual menu entries to point to ./freedroid

There is still lots to do:
1) Some controls associated with entering scoreboard need doing.
2) Need to get the sound fixed.
3) The resolution is scaled and could do with some improvement.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am way way out of my depth and a little suprised I got this far so I am not sure if I will be able to do the rest. So I will quickly go over how I did it in case anyone wants to move it on.

I downloaded the gp2x version of freedroid and copied it to the pc (running linux) and to my dingux games folder

I used:
export PATH="${PATH}:/opt/mipsel-linux-uclibc/usr/bin"

./configure --host=mipsel-linux --target=mipsel-linux --with-sdl-prefix=/opt/mipsel-linux-uclibc/usr --enable-static --prefix=/opt/mipsel-linux-uclibc/usr --x-includes=/opt/mipsel-linux-uclibc/usr/include/ --x-libraries=/opt/mipsel-linux-uclibc/usr/lib/

make

once it compiled i moved the executable to the freedroid/data/src directory on the SD card and created a modified version of the freedroid.gpe (without the gp2x menu recall) called freedroid

tried it out and it work apart from the controls so I commented out some gp2x specific code which looked like it might be the issue and compliled it again and it worked kinda ok.

That's as far as I got.

Hi,

What do you run to get this to work? Can't see any obvious file.

There is a file called freedroid in the main freedroid folder which is a bash script which sets up some environment variables and calls the main executable in the data/src directory.

Just run it with a menu entry like

MenuItem Freedroid

{

Icon = "res/freedroid.png"

Name = "Freedroid"

Executable = "./freedroid"

WorkDir = "/usr/local/games/freedroid"

Selector = no

}
