Installation on OpenBSD
There is no pre-compiled package of litedesk$ pkg_info | grep gcc
But fortunately it is quite easy to build. This was done on OpenBSD 7.4.
First install dependencies.
pkg_add lua-5.2
pkg_add gcc-11.2
pkg_add sdl2
pkg_add git
pkg_add gmake
Clone repo
git clone https://github.com/rxi/lite.git
A few patches in build script build.sh was necessary.
Make sure this lines are changed to this ...
compiler="egcc"
cflags="$cflags -DLUA_USE_POSIX -I/usr/local/include"
First change change name of gcc compiler to egcc. Second make sure that /usr/local/include is included to allow build to find SDL2 include files.
Build and run
./build.sh
./lite
