Compiling on the Raspberry Pi (Raspbian Wheezy)

Steps to install Attract-Mode on Raspbian Wheezy:

• Create a build environment

cd ~ mkdir develop ```````

• Install SFML and Attract-Mode dependencies

sudo apt-get install cmake libflac-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libopenal-dev libjpeg8-dev libfreetype6-dev libudev-dev libavutil-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libavfilter-dev libswscale-dev libavresample-dev libfontconfig1-dev ```````

• Download and build sfml-pi

cd ~/develop git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mickelson/sfml-pi sfml-pi mkdir sfml-pi/build;cd sfml-pi/build cmake .. -DSFML_RPI=1 -DEGL_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/vc/include -DEGL_LIBRARY=/opt/vc/lib/libEGL.so -DGLES_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/vc/include -DGLES_LIBRARY=/opt/vc/lib/libGLESv1_CM.so sudo make install sudo ldconfig ```````

• Build Attract-Mode

cd ~/develop git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mickelson/attract attract cd attract make sudo make install ```````

If all those steps worked, then it should be ready to go!

Additional Notes

• There is some image display corruption that can be fixed by adding:

framebuffer_depth=32

to the config file in the /boot folder.

• FFmpeg can be built with MMAL support to get hardware accelerated video decoding: https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/tutorial-build-or-download-ffmpeg-libavcodec-with-mmal-support-hardware-acceleration-video-decoding/3565
