The Pandora Port Request Thread

[ptitSeb]

I'll try to update EMACS for next beta update. I really need to do that codeblocks update. I'll try to do it this week.

(I have a paypal address in my github page, on gl4es: https://github.com/ptitSeb/gl4es or box86: https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86 main page if you want to)

@ptitSeb I know you had some issues with porting Electron on the Pandora but that was some time ago - have you looked recently?

Also, what were the main issues?

 

[ptitSeb]

There is 2 main issue with Electron:
1st it's very difficult to build, because the build system consider that Linux/ARM is on ARMHF eabi.
2nd Electron is based on Chrome and that one needs GLES2 hardware acceleration, and that can be problematic with latest driver. I may retry one day, but I need to workaround the build system...

@ptitSeb Thanks. I've been researching the build process and it looks like a huge mish-mash of dependencies.

The GLES2 issue is related to unsupported features in the driver?

 

[ptitSeb]

Yep. Basicaly it's based on chromium build system, but with some other stuff... Pretty tricky to modify, and not that usual as a build system.
