R41 of x16emu is out
mobluse opened this issue · comments
R41 of x16emu is out, and that was preceded with prereleases, so it's probably a more stable release than R39. I would like an upgrade to R41 for the summer.
Hi @mobluse - x16-emu snap has been failing to build recently. During the build:
kernal/drivers/x16/ps2kbd.s:6: Error: Cannot open include file 'longbranch.mac': No such file or directory
I looked at a few cc65 issues around this, fiddled with PREFIX and/or DESTDIR which didn't succeed. I tried dropping the mac files in common under where the cc65 binary is located, but that wasn't found.
Is there a definitive place I can drop the .mac files where they may be found by cc65?
On my system Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster), which is similar to Debian, longbranch.mac is here:
/usr/share/cc65/asminc/longbranch.mac
I believe I only installed cc65 2.17-1 from the distribution and it worked out of the box; maybe you use a newer version.
I include my Makefile which is just slightly hacked from the original. I have to log in three times over ssh during the build with make package_linux.
Makefile.txt
Thanks for the help. I was building cc65 from source. By using the version in the repo, x16emu builds now, however it fails to launch with alsa errors. Interestingly previous releases (r39) didn't have this problem. It's certainly possible to add alsa support to x16emu, which I'll take a look at. Confinement in snap makes alsa a pain, which requires some additional nonsense :)
ALSA is not necessary for me since December 2020 I believe since Raspbian Buster uses PulseAudio:

I installed R41 now using sudo snap install x16emu --edge. I can start it if I use x16emu -sound none, but then I get a message in the terminal each 5 seconds:
ALSA lib conf.c:4120:(snd_config_update_r) Cannot access file /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf
If I try to start it with just x16emu I doesn't start, but gives these messages:
ALSA lib conf.c:4120:(snd_config_update_r) Cannot access file /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf
ALSA lib conf.c:4120:(snd_config_update_r) Cannot access file /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf
ALSA lib pcm.c:2642:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default
SDL_OpenAudioDevice failed: ALSA: Couldn't open audio device: No such file or directory
ls -l /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9594 Nov 1 2021 /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf
In my own compiled version I don't have these problems and sound works, but it is a bit chopped, but it has been like this from the start.

Ok, I've implemented the alsa stuff in the snap, so if you refresh the snap from the edge channel, and then snap connect x16emu:alsa it should run fine. I have requested that the snap has the alsa interface auto-connected so users won't need to do that in future. Once that's done, I'll release the new build to the stable channel.
It works with sound now in Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) armhf on Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.4 after refresh and snap connect x16emu:alsa.
The snap has now had alsa interface approved, and auto connects on install. r41 tested and now published in the stable channel. Thanks again @mobluse for the issue and feedback.
R41 doesn't exist for architecture i386; only R39.
Now there is also R42, but that is in a different repository https://github.com/X16Community/x16-emulator and I don't know how official it is yet. R42 was announced on the official forum site: https://cx16forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6399 that is linked from https://www.commanderx16.com/. I believe there will be an R43 soon that will correct some bugs.
