Bug 3800

Summary: Hardcoded Raspberry Pi EGL and GLES library paths are now invalid on latest Raspbian
Product: SDL Reporter: Simon Hug <chli.hug>
Component: videoAssignee: Ryan C. Gordon <icculus>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: normal    
Priority: P2    
Version: HG 2.0   
Hardware: ARM   
OS: Linux   

Description Simon Hug 2017-09-05 23:58:30 UTC 
The rpi video driver has SDL_egl.c look at /opt/vc/lib/libGLESv2.so and /opt/vc/lib/libEGL.so which now are non-existent on the latest Raspbian stretch. 

The new names are /opt/vc/lib/libbrcmGLESv2.so and /opt/vc/lib/libbrcmEGL.so.

Obviously, hardcoding the full path again is probably not optimal. The build tools should search for these. I don't have much experience with them and can't provide a patch that will work.

I made an attempt at fixing this here: https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/dc5698982bac

Can you try this and make sure it fixes the issue for you? I'll try on an older Raspbian just to confirm that part.

Comment 2 Simon Hug 2017-09-07 00:08:50 UTC 
Yes, that makes it work on Raspbian Stretch again.
Comment 3 Ryan C. Gordon 2017-09-07 05:11:01 UTC 
Tested on Raspbian Jessie, works there too. Resolving bug.
