Making a Linux Executable

Questions
#1

Hi! Long time no see!

I hope everyone is going well. I have been busy, working on my art projects, moving to a new city, and trying to buy a flat. I’ve also made this:

Anyway, my question is the following: I’m trying to get a defold app running on a raspberry pi (Latest model, 8gb). When I bundle, I get a few files, including one called “visualinstrument.x86_64”. When I double click on that in Linux, i can execute it, or execute it in terminal. Neither option does anything. I am a total linux beginner and I don’t even know where to see any error messages. Any help? Thanks in advance.

The same thing happens when I try to open the Linux version of the defold editor.

I believe my OS is 32bit, not 64. I’m going to download the 64 bit version and check that.

edit. I am now on the snazzy 64 bit Raspberry Pi OS, and I am still unable to open an executable. I click on the Defold Icon, which I have unzipped, and I am asked if I want to run or run in terminal. Clicking on either button does nothing.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey @88.josh :wink: chech out the FAQ first, maybe something with Mesa or libeopenal Defold development for the Linux platform
When you open from terminal, what is there? And do you try to open an app built on Linux?

Hi!

I am a total Linux beginner, and the problem is that whether I execute it or execute it in terminal, nothing happens at all- no error message, nothing.

Correct me if I’m wrong the the Raspberry PI is an arm computer?
We don’t have support for arm64-linux.

Oh dash, that’s a shame. I should be able to get an HTML5 version working in the browser though, right? I’ll check out that option next.

Yes, that should still work on an Rpi.
