Probably unrealistic to expect an arm device to be supported at all but I figured I'd give it a shot. Trying to get starsector running on my 32 bit arm device. The jre version included in the zip is presumably for x86 so I changed the java to the one installed on my machine in the bash file. When I tried to run it got through a few of the first steps but then failed on some of the library so files:

as show in the logs `Possible cause: can't load IA 32-bit .so on a ARM-bit platform` so I think all the binary libs that come with the zip are compiled for x86. Is there a way to compile arm7l versions of those libraries or if its a proprietary part of the game, get a release with the libs compiled for arm7l? Figured I'd ask if someone knows let me know.

[kgost]

ok, looks like that library is the java lightweight game library so the library files might not be from fractal softworks themselves, I'll try to hunt down arm7l versions of those libraries, replace them and see what happens

[Alex]

Good luck! Just to be clear, this is totally unsupported, and while I'm curious whether it works or not, I wouldn't be particularly optimistic about it

[kgost]

Thanks, I'm already having trouble with `liblwjgl.so`, the version that my package manager comes with that I've tried using doesn't link jawt when I run ldd but when I ran the same command on my x64 machine for starsector's library it does and I get this error when running on my arm machine

Code

java: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/jni/liblwjgl.so: undefined symbol: JAWT_GetAWT

. What version of lwjgl does starsector use so I can compile it for arm if need be.

[Alex]

It's using 2.9.3.

[kgost]

ok cool, looks like debian is using 2.7.1, perhaps the use of jawt was added afterwards, I gotta figure out how to compile that so then

[kgost]

got it, well at least the start screen I'll let you know if the full game actually works. If anyones curious, I followed this guide on how to compile those libraries for arm and then pasted them in http://rogerallen.github.io/jetson/2014/07/31/minecraft-on-jetson-tk1/

[Alex]

Neat! I wonder if the framerate will be measured in FPS or SPF

[kgost]

lol took like 20 minutes to load and then ran at 1 fps, clearly you theres still some optimization to be done on arm, I'm sure it'll be ironed out before 1.0  . I thought it might work because this cpu has low clock rate but has 4 cores but I guess its probably single threaded. I also tried doing remote x11 sessions over ssh to a fast computer but that was also 1fps, wonder if theres a better way to do remote games.
