In Raspbian Stretch, loading apps now throw an error:

error while loading shared libraries: libavcodec.so.56: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

In Stretch, the libavcodec.so.57 is present and I cannot get the apps to use it.

Help.

Thanks

Ok, I've done more testing and determined it is only with Raspbian Stretch. Going back to Raspbian Jessie solves the problem for now.

@MrZhangEPSB,

on which Raspian Pi did you test it? I can't get Apps to start with Jessie on the Pi Zero W

Is there any chance, to get it work on Raspberry Pi Zero?

What would I have to do on a Raspberry Pi 3?

I installed Rasbian Jessie and AppGameKit for Raspberry. Compiling seems to work, but I can't run them, but I also get no Error-Messages. Maybe something with the OpenGL drivers?
Did you install something more than only Jessie?

Or is it a rights problem, do I have to allow the OS to run the new compiled executables in a way, I don't know?

I can't tell, if it is a Linux-problem, an Rasbian problem, or a specific problem on the low-end hardware.

Maybe this could be the problem, some of the libraries are renamed in Stretch, I think

AGK is working fine on Raspberry Pi Zero (W) with Stretch, but after I tried to start my compiled app, nothing happend. I tried it in the terminal, and got the message, that shared libraries: libavcodec.so and so on are not in the directory, so I think, I can download some files and hopefully get it to work.

I think it's more complicated than copying files. I tried adding the Jessie repositories in apt sources and installed libavcodec56, but then it asked for libavformat56 to be installed and then I got stuck with libGLESv2 dependencies...

Hey Everybody, I have contacted support and Richard stated the following "This is a problem with the MP3 player. Unfortunately the mere presence of MP3 support generates this error, so if we want to support all current versions of the Raspberry Pi OS then we'll have to remove MP3 support and OGG file format will have to be used. The Linux version already went through this change and no longer supports MP3." He then stated that TheGameCreators team were working on this issue and will be posting an update sometime in the near future, though no definite date was issued. I'm sure it won't be long before a new update will appear! In the week or so that I've been using "AppGameKit2 for the Raspberry PI" I've had to contact their support group on several occasions with issues and questions and they have always responded quickly, and professionally. It's very refreshing to see TheGameCreators are putting in so much effort to supporting this free version.

Take care now,

Darin Murphy

Is this the problem with the "libavcodec.so" 56: cannot open shared object files: No such file or directory

Would be nice, to have maybe an option, if my "exeutable" is using something. Maybe by default: OGG, MP3, 3D, all libs checked, but mostly in my prototypes I am using not all the AGK2 compiler offers, but only want little executables or basic stuff.

(more 3D files formats, Video codecs, etc., all supported by AGK2, but not everytime are needed. But I understand, that also some of the c-libraries would support more and it is easier to implement all, insteat of seperating for the save of a few bytes.


I read, that there are the Libav-libraries not binary compatible, so I can't fix this issue, I think, but what I not understand is, that the AGK2 compiler on Raspian on a Raspian Pi Zero W works flawless.

Xaby,

Yes, the driver "libavcodec.so" 56 is one of the many that are causing this error. As far as I understand it the issue was several drivers were renamed during the recent updates to "Stretch" that were outside of TheGameCreators control. I do not understand why they would be working flawlessly on the Raspberry Pi Zero, if it is running Raspian Stretch.

Take care now,

Darin Murphy

I got the message "Compilation finished successfully"

But the resulted "EXE" in linux does not run. First it was a Rights-problem, after that, the libav-error. But the behavier, I think, was the same in Raspbian Jessy with my Pi Zero W. So I got the compiler to run, but not the created programs. But I can't tell, if the compiler maybe uses code, which is not linked in other libraries or something like that. So maybe, because I don't use any MP3 or MP4, video, audio loading, only tested some 3D demos, the compilation works fine, but the "Player" is linked to falls precompiled libs.

I think, it is maybe like with Visual Basic DLLs, where also some could miss on the executed system, and the "EXE" would not run. But I don't know, if I need the VB*.DLLs to compile. Or in AGK2 I can compile for android, but it has not to work on the target android.

The compilation however does not says that there is something not working. I testet "NormalMapping", but can't tell, how the result looks like on a Pi Zero.

Hey Everybody,

Just downloaded and extracted updated AppGameKit2 which was supposed to fix the error:

error while loading shared libraries: libGLESv2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It didn't. I even created the following simplestic project which has nothing but a FPS prompt:



But still returned the same error and didn't run. I have contacted Support again to let them know. Hopefully they'll be able to resolve this issue soon!

Take care now,

Darin Murphy

I tried this:




I re-linked the libs, but than got that

core.cpp int main (int, char**): Assertion 'surface != ((EGLSurface)0)' failed

when starting the "NormalMapping" example.

I also rename / relink them all like described ( "brcm" )


https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=191857

But didn't solve the problem.

I am using "OpenGL with Fake KMS or so", works best with "glxgears -info", ~ 60 frames on Raspberry Pi Zero W.

Also set the memory-Split to 192 MB for graphics

Hey Everybody

I ran across this site that you all maybe interested in, in regards to this issue:

https://github.com/tipam/pi3d/issues/214

It explains the following:

In the most recent version of Raspbian, code name "Stretch", the non-open-source Broadcom OpenGLES 2.0 library was renamed from "libGLESv2.so" to "libbrcmGLESv2.so" and likewise "libEGL.so" was renamed to "libbrcmEGL.so", to avoid name clashes with the MESA library.

I am wondering if this could be the cause for the missing driver error I and Xaby are getting. Also I can run GeeXLAB's OpenGL 2.1 demos, but not their OpenGLES 2.0 demos. Finally, I have done a complete wipe and reinstall of Raspbian "Stretch", and received the same error.

I've updated the support team, so hopefully they'll be able to resolve this issue soon!

Take care now,

Darin Murphy

Hey Everybody,

For the last couple of weeks I've been working with TheGameCreators's team trying to resolve this issue there is a fix! Basically the issue is with the new experimental OpenGL drivers and how AGK2 uses OpenGL. Paul from TheGameCreators's stated the following:

It sounds like the kernel is using the OpenGL driver so it can't be accessed directly. AppGameKit uses the Broadcom OpenGL driver directly as it is not used by the kernel by default, and on Raspberry Pi 1 and zero this is the only way to use hardware acceleration. The line
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
in your config.txt is what is telling the kernel to use OpenGL, removing this line should fix it.

So I did the following:

opened a terminal window
sudo raspi-config
selected "Advanced Options"
selected "GL Driver"
selected "Legacy"
Ok
Finish
Reboot

After my machine restarted and I was back in Raspbian, I opened AGK2 and tested several 3D demos, which all Compiled and Ran fine. Also there was no dip in frame rate either. So basically the issue was the updated experimented OpenGL drivers in Raspbian "Stretch". I can agree with this since all of the 3D games and applications, that I was able to run before "Stretch" worked good (Quake, Arena, Colobot, etc.,), now either crash or are very glitchy. Anyway, I wanted to Thank Richard and Paul, from TheGameCreators's personally for all of their quick and professional assistance helping a Linux/Raspbian newbie like myself, track down and resolve this issue.

Take care now,

Darin Murphy

Hi Darin,

I finally had time to try your instructions on a fresh install of Raspbian Stretch and still no dice. I am using the demo files and cannot get anything to run. Any further advice into what I may be doing wrong?

Thanks

Maybe something will work with the next AppGameKit update? Would be nice, to have an easy way, to test AppGameKit code on a Raspberry Pi, but searching what is not working with some libraries would cost to much time, and I will never finish a game

Just wanted to add that there is a missing step that we discovered in our troubleshooting. After installing Raspbian Stretch open the terminal and run "sudo rpi-update" to upgrade to the latest version. This version is newer than the one available on their website.

Raspbian Stretch renamed the old Broadcom OpenGL driver in favour of the new experimental driver, however this broke existing OpenGL apps which used the Broadcom driver (including AGK). They have reverted this change in the very latest version so old apps will work again.

The need to open the config settings and changing the OpenGL setting to legacy should only be necessary if you have set it to the experimental yourself, since the default setting should be legacy.
