StepMania

So I'm trying to get StepMania running on my raspberry pi. I followed the instructions and got ver 5 compiled on the default Raspian install. (I did have to edit src/libtomcrypt/src/headers/tomcrypt_cfg.h to explicitly declare little endian and 32 bit)

When I try to run the binary in lxde this is the output I get.

I'm a Mono/.Net guy and have no experience with SDL or openGL so I'm a bit over my head anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

That's funny. I was compiling stepmania last night and ran into the tomcrypt error. Glad you were bale to fix that.

The errors seem to be that it's using Standard OpenGL, but the Pi can only render OpenGL ES natively.

The next course of action is to convert all the OpenGL calls to ES.

I posted this same question over at the StepMania forums (to get more exposure) and the response from another chap was:
"SM is absolutely not going to run on the RPi right now. There are plans to support it however we need to add EGL and GLES2 support among other things."

So it's a little beyond me at the moment.

Something I wonder about is Stepmania 3.9. Sure, it's not the latest and greatest, but it works smoothly on a regular PC, and the dancing is perfect. Didn't they majorly restructure the rendering engine to add OGL support after that release?
