Hello.
I want to compile it on a device runnig linux, arm processor (OMAP 3530), with and embedded GPU (I don't know how powerful is it so far, but I'm happy using the 2D plugin). The bad thing is that the GPU works with OPENGL ES 2.0 (Opengl for mobile devices), but Iris works with OGRE, so I think that it isn't a problem because ogre has a GLES rendering system (see
http://ogre.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ ... erSystems/ ). The other problem is Iris dependencies, I think all dependencies are available for ARM in the debian repository or I can compile them, but i have shown that nvidia-cg-toolkit is only available for x86 and x86_64 processors. What does nvidia-cg-toolkit do? Is part of OGRE or Iris? About the processor I have read that is equivalent to a Pentium II (is an omap3530 (ARM Cortex-A8 600Mhz(overclockable to 720Mhz for almost sure and probably to 800 Mhz and rarely to 900Mhz, but there is a little chance))). I've tested the 2D plugin on a Intel Pentium M processor (downclocked to 800Mhz with the cpu freq selection applet and running GNOME, DEBIAN) and a GMA945 "graphic card" (if it can be called graphic card xD) and the client reachs 18fps in places like Islhenar forests, but the average speed is 15fps (in the same place), the rendering speed of the statics is not bad, but it could be better (ultralow radar map resolution setting, ultralow graphics setting). I'm happy with this speed. But the last bad thing is that the device has 256mb of ram (some consumed by xfce but I can run iris on a xterm if it is neccesary), and I don't know how much RAM is needed to run Iris. Gnome-system-monitor shows that iris is consuming 196 megabytes of ram and in total all the programs I have open consume 224 Megabytes (gnome-system-monitor, gnome-terminal and Iris). I set in config.lua the Ondemand setting to all things that I could. I hope Iris can be complied for it. Playing Iris in a mobile device would be awesome!
Sorry for my bad English and thanks in advance.
EDIT: I forgot... The omap3530 has 1200 DMIPS clocked at 600Mhz and the Pentium M 2312 DMIPS (at 800Mhz, the test speed). Is a very big difference... Maybe clocking the omap at 800Mhz (1600 DMIPS) or 900 (if possible) (1800 DMIPS) the difference is smaller.
