Re: [Flightgear-devel] FGPanel on Raspberry Pi

[Geoff M. <ub...@ge...>]

Hi Gaetan,

What a great idea, being able to run
'fgpanel' on my Raspberry Pi2...

To my surprise, I have managed to
compile current OSG/SG/FG, and thus fgpanel,
using the fgmeta dnc script, in Raspbian 8,
jessie, but obviously not yet with your
updated source...

And obviously without Qt5... but only a warning...

But when I try to run ./fgpanel I get -

freeglut (.fgpanel): OpenGL GLX extension not supported by display ':0.0'

So obviously, I have to do more RPI2
setup... maybe use 'startx' or something...
or some other drivers... need help!

Do you, or others, have some pointers on
getting this to work in RPI2...

I note, in reviewing your modified fgpanel
CMakeLists.txt you use -

find_path(BCMHOST_INCLUDE_DIR
   NAMES bcm_host.h
   PATHS /opt/vc/include
   NO_DEFAULT_PATH )
to later decide if we are in RPI?

I can see this file does exist in my RPI2
system... so that seems positive...

It would be absolutely great if say the
c172p panel was displayed on RPI2 as I fly in
fgfs in other machines on my LAN... I certainly
hope this is merged...

But need help... on list, or direct... thanks...

Regards, Geoff.

PS: Also, which panel file do you use?
