PowerPC support

This error may be the result of running on a big-endian system. If so, my apologies for not listing it under the current big endian issue. The OpenLara application compiled successfully, but attempting to run results in the error: 'init gamepads: OpenLara (Apr 22 2022) Vendor : X.Org Renderer : AMD BARTS (DRM 2.50.0 / 5.17.0_A-EON_X5000, LLVM 13.0.1) Version : 3.1 Mesa 21.3.7 cache : /home/*****/.openlara/ supports : variyngs count : 16 binary shaders : true vertex arrays : true depth texture : true shadow sampler : true discard frame : false NPOT textures : true RG textures : true border color : true clip distance : false anisotropic : 16 float textures : float = full, half = full

If a big-endian issue, is there a way levels can be converted by users?

BE isn't supported yet, working on it, what the is it some old ppc apple device under Linux?

That's A-EON's X5000 (Amiga like PPC computer running Amiga OS 4.1 and/or ppc linux)

Thank you for your response. As indicated by arczi84, the system is an A-EON X5000, which has a PowerPC e5500 CPU by Freescale/NXP. The system is currently being sold and there are a decent number of Linux users on it - I maintain a Linux distribution for the platform (plus Apple PPC) called Fienix. Exciting to hear you're working on BE support! I'd be happy to help test if needed. Thanks!

I'm also excited for BE support as I would like to make a port for classic Amiga computer which has Motorola 68040/60 CPU. Count me in for tests as well!
