Lightspark

I get a render error

Asked by Roman Meier

Hi folks

I tired to display a flash file with linux raspbian.

The complete output in my terminal is this:

I guess, the last line describes the problem.

glX is not present. What kind of package is this? How can I install?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Kind regards,
Roman

glX is an X Window system extension that provides support for OpenGL. Lightspark uses OpenGL for rendering output.

On Debian (on a desktop computer) you need to install at least package called libgl1-mesa-glx and a driver for your graphics hardware (for example, libdrm-intel1).

On Raspberry Pi, you may want to install OpenGLES 2.0 instead (although I'm not sure about that). Compile with cmake -DENABLE_GLES2=TRUE

BTW, Lightspark 0.6.0.1 is very old, the latest version is 0.7.1.

Can you help with this problem?
