@quicksilver yip will try it again now 👍

Jste84

@quicksilver past step 2... Will let you know how I get on with the build. . Thanks for the guide and help.

This will make my day if it works

@quicksilver I'm getting another error... In step 4, it says 100 per cent but I'm getting the following message after.

CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:48 (file) :
file DOWNLOAD error: cannot create directory
'/usr/local/share/openrct2/title' - Specify file by full path name and verify that you have directory creation and write privileges.

Could this be because I've set up the pi4 to use my cloud home as storage. I had problems with save states earlier...

Not sure what to do to fix this. If I use winscp to manually add the directory would that work?

Edit: gone into winscp and can see there is no directory for openrct2 in usr/local/share.

Also moved the directories, done a reset but not seeing anything in ports...

Last thought... I've used the gog versions of the games which are RCT deluxe and rct2 triple pack... Assuming this won't make a difference?

quicksilver

@Jste84 try running this from the build directory within the openrct2 directory:

DESTDIR=. make install

@quicksilver seem to have got by this now..

But nothing is showing when I go to ports..

Although I'm not sure if that's how I'm meant to open the game?

quicksilver

@Jste84 yes this isn't a build script for RetroPie so it won't appear in ports. You'll need to run it from the command line using the commands I posted above. You can also take those commands and put them in a shell script that can be run from emulationstation. Once we have a proper build script set up then it will appear nicely in ES and go through runcommand.

Ok... So this will be my silliest question yet @quicksilver ...

So the last step says run openrct2 from the build directory... How do I do that?

quicksilver

@Jste84 try this:

startx /home/pi/OpenRCT2/build/openrct2

Or you can also run ./openrct2 from the build directory but without the x window the mouse pointer doesn't work right so I don't recommend running it this way.

Jste84

@quicksilver getting this error... 😔

Unfortunately this is not my area of expertise. I had a hard time getting startx working correctly and fiddled with some settings to get it working. I don't remember exactly what I did but I believe your issue is a permissions error. I think I had to edit a file and give permission for users to access x server. As you can see from my original instructions this is the part I need help on getting to work right, maybe someone else who knows a little more about this stuff can help.

quicksilver

@Jste84 can you go to /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config and edit it so allowed_users = anybody

I think this is what I had to change to get it to work. Again not my area of expertise, so do so at your own risk. I'm not sure how all this part of it works.

@quicksilver when I go into the x11 folder... I don't have an xwrapper.config file....

quicksilver

@Jste84 did you install like I mentioned above?

sudo apt-get install xorg matchbox-window-manager x11-xserver-utils

Jste84

@quicksilver yes I have done.. seemed to install without any issues...

Double checked the folder and it's Def not there...

quicksilver

@Jste84 sorry I'm out of ideas . :(

Jste84

@quicksilver thanks for your help ; I really appreciate it

Looking at the error again I hope someone can help.

No permission to open dev/tty0 seems to be stopping me opening this 😣

quicksilver

@Jste84 can you try

sudo apt install x11-common

Reboot and see if the x11 wrapper config shows up?

Jste84

@quicksilver did this now, still not showing unfortunately mate

quicksilver

@Jste84 how are you looking for that file? What program are you using?
