I've been trying to install Pygame on the Beaglebone Black running Angstrom Linux with a Cortex-A8 processor. Although the online opkg repository lists python-pygame as available for arm7a architecture, searching via the beaglebone does not find python-pygame. After installing all of the dependencies listed on the online opkg repository, except for libsmpeg, I tried to install from source. However, the installation can't find libsdl-mixer, which I have already installed (v libsdl-mixer-1.2-0 - 1.2.11-r0.1) into /usr/lib.
Installation output: root@beaglebone:~/Desktop/pygame-1.9.1release# LOCALBASE=/usr/lib python setup.py install WARNING, No "Setup" File Exists, Running "config.py" Using UNIX configuration... Hunting dependencies... sh: smpeg-config: command not found WARNING: "smpeg-config" failed! SDL : found 1.2.15 FONT : not found IMAGE : not found MIXER : not found SMPEG : not found PNG : found JPEG : found SCRAP : found PORTMIDI: not found PORTTIME: not found I tried to set LOCALBASE, as suggested in the documentation, but this did not affect the installation output. I only hope to use the sound mixer portions of pygame. Can someone help me install it on the Beaglebone Black? Many thanks, Arthur In case it's useful, here's the rchitecture from beaglebone opkg: root@beaglebone:~/Desktop/SDL_mixer-1.2.12# opkg print-architecture arch all 1 arch any 6 arch noarch 11 arch arm 16 arch armv4 21 arch armv5 26 arch armv5-vfp 31 arch armv5e 36 arch armv5e-vfp 41 arch armv6-vfp 46 arch armv7a 51 arch armv7a-vfp 56 arch armv7a-vfp-neon 61 arch beaglebone 66 Pygame opkg link: http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?pkgname=python-pygame
