Is it possible to run OpenBor on a Raspberry Pi? It uses a version of Debian called Raspbian, so i would think it would be possible to compile to work on Raspberry Pi. If anyone has already done this please let me know.

Thank You

I think you can get answer fast if you ask for help on their forum. Not so many people here own that system.

So if it has SDL, it won't be too hard to port.
 
There was a guy over at Raspberry Pi forums that compiled it and got it working. I just am not good at compiling and have a hard time understanding it. I tried PMing him and asking him on the forum, but no answer. Here is what he wrote about how he got it running.

I've done a little more work today on beats of rage for the PI. And managed to get it working

clone from https://github.com/rofl0r/openbor.git

follow the instructions to compile , I used NO_GL=1 BUILD_DEBUG=1 while making

copy over a Pak file to the relevant folder.

once compiled before executing, I used
fbset -xres 512 -yres 384 -depth 16
then
SDL_FB_BROKEN_MODES=1 ./OpenBOR

and finally I got a display

I did have one or two problems with the Paks I downloaded , after a little reading I realised the compression used on my Paks was obsolete , I unpacked them into a folder and bingo I could play BOR at a good speed

Good luck

That is confusing to me. So if you could provide help I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank You

Hi.  You should definitely tell the person who ported it that the version of OpenBOR he cloned is not the official version, and he should use the version from our SVN on Sourceforge instead.  That's probably why he had a problem with some mods.
 
Yeah I noticed that as well. I am trying to learn how to compile using the Raspberry Tools and the OpenBor SVN with no luck. I am a noob when it comes to this. I tried getting a hold of the original poster, but no luck yet. Hopefully he replies soon.

Thanks
