Moving libSDL* library files from Dingux to BNN?
« on: October 08, 2010, 04:17:44 pm »
Has anyone tried copying missing libs from Dingux to a BNN with the base OpenWRT installation?

I just noticed that most of the Dingoo games that won't run on my BNN give an error about a missing libSDL module of one sort or another. I checked /usr/lib and they definitely aren't there, so I thought I might be able to make things go by just copying the missing parts from a Dingoo (e.g.: libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0 so I can run Meritous).

I don't have a Dingoo of my own (yet, anyhow) so I haven't been able to try it myself.

Yes, I did it and it worked. But it was on an ancient version of owrt, no idea if it will still work nowadays.

Hmm. Very cool. Do you know of a way to mount the Dingux rootfs file (doesn't have to be on the BNN; I have an Intel machine with #!) so that I can poke around and dig up those bits?

Just use the libs from the dingux toolchain, they are the same.

Oh kay. Tried it out and instead of getting a Not Found issue I get (for instance):

Code: [Select]
./cdogs.dge: '/usr/lib/libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0' is not an ELF file
./cdogs.dge: can't load library 'libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0'
...and again the program won't load.  ???

...well that's odd, you did take the libs from the dingux toolchain right? and not the sdl libs from the native toolchain?

That's correct. Got the "Latest toolchain" here: http://code.google.com/p/dingoo-linux/downloads/list
Unpacked with PeaZip on a Windows XP machine at work and put it on a FAT microSD card to move to the NN. Could the involvement of Windows have messed up the magic bytes of the ELF file?

FAT most likely removed the symlinks.

Then I'll try unpacking on the NN itself tonight to see if that makes a difference.

in any case
Code: [Select]
ln -s /usr/lib/[right_lib] /usr/lib/libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0should fix it.

I'm confused. If the executable is looking for /usr/lib/libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0 and the real file is /usr/lib/libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0 wouldn't I be entering:
Code: [Select]
ln -s /usr/lib/libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0 /usr/lib/libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0What good would that do?

libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0 is not a real file. It is a symlink which points to libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0.2.6.
You can check that symlink with file, it is most likely broken.

Here's how my PC sees it:
Code: [Select]
$ file /opt/mipsel-linux-uclibc/usr/lib/libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0
/opt/mipsel-linux-uclibc/usr/lib/libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0: symbolic link to `libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0.2.6'

Hah! It worked. So far I've moved libSDL_mixer, libSDL_net, and libmad to get Meritous and OpenTyrian running, and they both seem smooth and happy.

I did have to redo the symlinks like zear said, but that was easy-peasy. Thanks guys.

Do you use Jlime or OpenWRT?

OpenWRT. The stock installation that came on the BNN when I got it in August.
