[Question] Raspberry Pi Zer 2w Support

[libredeb]

Hi,

• Operating System: Raspberry Pi OS (64 bit) Debian 12 Bookworm
• Raspberry Pi model: Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W Rev 1.0
• Q3lite version: 1.1 (commit number: cbb7cc1)
• This is a fresh Raspberry Pi OS install or not: Yes (it is a fresh install)
• Any major software changes or additions to the OS: N/A

I've been testing this awesome project in a Raspberry Pi Zero 2w but I faced with some inconvenient:

• This conditional cant resolve my raspberry pi model. Maybe we can improve this logic. The output of /proc/cpuinfo is:

  processor	: 0

• When the script try to compile Q3lite next error appears:

  cc: error: unrecognized command-line option '-mfpu=vfp'
  cc: error: unrecognized command-line option '-mfloat-abi=hard'
  

  Forcing me to remove the following line. Maybe the value must be Linux as is. How we can improve this?
• When I run Q3lite the following error appear:

  juan@rpi:~ $ sudo q3lite
  xinput_id=8 7 6 9

  Where do I get this file?

Hello,

This is an older project that requires Legacy Debian Buster to function correctly. A user was able to get the code running on a Zero 2W here: https://github.com/cdev-tux/q3lite/issues/21 You'll need to modify the make-raspberrypi.sh file and replace the revision code in double quotes with his line of code around line 257. You'll also need SDL2 at least version 2.0.9 and possibly up to 2.0.14. The binary file is missing because the compile didn't complete, so it wasn't copied to the /usr/local/games/quake3 directory. I hope that helps. Thanks

Also, it needs to be 32-bit Debian Buster based OS.

[libredeb]

Hi @cdev-tux ok, no problem. What would be the new project? ioquake?

[cdev-tux]

The ioquake3 project and the quake3e project are both great projects, but they may or may not provide a playable framerate on the Zero 2 W. Another option that you have is to install 32-bit legacy Buster on a separate SD card and compile/install Q3lite on that. Even with Q3lite the framerate on a Zero 2 W will be on the edge of playability depending on the map and number of players.

[libredeb]

@cdev-tux good, let me try that and I'll back to you soon
