Bug 2879

Summary: configure script broken for Raspberry Pi 2 on Raspbian
Product: SDL Reporter: Donny <man-at-arms>
Component: *don't know*Assignee: Ryan C. Gordon <icculus>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: normal    
Priority: P2 Keywords: target-2.0.4, triage-2.0.4
Version: HG 2.1   
Hardware: ARM   
OS: Linux   

Description Donny 2015-02-15 02:37:16 UTC 
The current configure script sets header / lib information for the Raspberry Pi based on the toolchain name *-raspberrypi-linux-*

This still works for the original Raspberry Pi, however the new Raspberry Pi 2 toolchain is named armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf, so the configure script fails to find the relevant files.

Marking a large number of bugs with the "triage-2.0.4" keyword at once. Sorry if you got a lot of email from this. This is to help me sort through some bugs in regards to a 2.0.4 release. We may or may not fix this bug for 2.0.4, though!

Hmm, it's a generic ARMv7 target now, but there are RPi-specific things we need to do in the configure script.  :/

It's possible to work around it by setting a host flag to configure script...

e.g.
./configure --host=armv7l-raspberry-linux-gnueabihf

Related, but not relvant to bug...it also needs the flags --disable-video-x11 --disable-video-opengl for hardware acceleration

(sorry if you get a lot of copies of this email, I'm marking several bugs at once)

Marking bugs for the (mostly) final 2.0.4 TODO list. This means we're hoping to resolve this bug before 2.0.4 ships if possible. In a perfect world, the open bug count with the target-2.0.4 keyword is zero when we ship.

(Note that closing a bug report as WONTFIX, INVALID or WORKSFORME might still happen.)

I've got an RPi2 now, I'll be looking at this soon.
