Showeq 6 and Raspberry Pi 4

[Shinigami]

Thanks for the guide. I have this working on my pi 4 with x11 forwarding. works like a dream, except one thing.. i am getting frequent segmentation fault errors, more than I got on CentOS 7. Is there anything one can do to prevent these errors, or reduce their frequency?

Make sure fast machine and session tracking is on. The problem most likely is session tracking.

That appears to have fixed it. thank you

Back in the day, almost no one ran more than 1 instance. Even when they did windowed mode, most people couldnt run more than one instance. Usually you had two computers running it. It used to take a beefy machine to run two. Now I run 6 with ease. Session tracking focuses on one set of zone packets so it doesnt get confused and crash.

The Raspberry Pi Raspbian OS downloads are now Bullseye and Legacy (Buster). Bullseye doesn't support QT4 and the Legacy fails on ./configure checking for ICE and is missing the ICE development package. Going back to older versions of Buster and prior have a mode flag called OldStable and they will not update / upgrade. So currently I'm unable to build a working RPi 4 ShowEQ with the current Raspbian OS and version 6 of ShowEQ. There is a thread on ShowEQ7 supporting QT5 in development but until ShowEQ7 is available any suggestions on getting QT4 to work with Bullseye or how to find the ICE development library for the legacy buster version would be helpful.

I found a solution to the missing library that ./configure errors out on. The Raspberry Pi has a list of all the packages and searching for ICE found several packages containing ICE in the package name.

What worked to solve the configure was "libice-dev" for Bullseye2:1.0.10-1) Buster2:1.0.9-2) X11 Inter-Client Exchange library (development headers). Using the legacy raspbian (Buster) image with the packages listed at the beginning of this thread needs to add libice-dev.

Skittles!

Thanks sea4ht. Ill go back and edit it a little later to add that post. Good work figuring it out.

Edit: Made the changes to the original message! Thanks!
