Hi, I am attempting to create Linux “Bookworm” docker container with the compiled Solar2D run-times so that I can use Solar2D to make on-screen training sequences for medical instruments, even use it to display results emerging from a patients vital signs. This top layer would be pure LUA. Hardware abstraction layers and middleware written in C++, may even use RTOS. The idea fits with the idea of making open source medical instrumentation and research instruments. So far I have made a container with all the dependencies needed to cross-compile the Solar2D so it can run on an multi-core Arm64 board running Linux Bookworm. Fairly painful work, but worthwhile to escape the clutches of Qt.

Sitrep: the docker container for building solar2D on a Toradex iMX8 SOM is done.
So the GitHub - coronalabs/corona: Solar2D Game Engine main repository (ex Corona SDK) repo has “master” and “experimental” branches.
I decided I would try to build for the “master” branch.
I am noticing that there are some new files in the “experimental” branch, and that the Makefile in the master branch hiccups as they are not on “master”

So the way forward is going to have to be a fork of the repository, and make some changes !

Sit.rep: So I had a look at the CMakeLists and made a new branch of my fork, you are welcome to come over and have a look…
To access it:
HBL001/corona at linux-build (github.com)
So back to the story, I changed the CMakeLists.txt replacing the “lua_to_native_unixeol.sh” to “lua_to_native.sh”. It made a big difference.
Also I had an issue where the linker was looking in the wrong directory, so I added
set(CMAKE_BUILD_RPATH “/usr/aarch64-linux-gnu/lib”)
and now to build… Oh no, not again, more…

I think there is a typo in here
The PushObjectFactories() method appears to be related to the Solar2D (formerly known as Corona SDK) framework. It is used for managing object factories within the display system. Let’s break it down:
- Purpose:
- The
PushObjectFactories()method is typically called during initialization or setup. It allows the display system to register various object factories (e.g., for creating images, text, shapes, etc.) that can be used throughout your application.
- Context:
- In the context of Solar2D, the
Rtt::Displayclass represents the display system. This class provides methods for creating and managing visual elements (sprites, images, text, etc.) that appear on the screen.
- Functionality:
- The
PushObjectFactories()method is responsible for adding built-in object factories (such as image factories) to the display system. These factories allow you to create instances of display objects (e.g., images) with specific properties (e.g., size, position, rotation). - By pushing object factories, you ensure that the display system knows how to create different types of objects when requested.
Was https://github.com/coronalabs/corona/issues/705 yours, or are you just both running into the same issue?
CoronaObjects.cpp is part of a pending branch. @vlads and I have been trying to keep it up-to-date, but this little goof slipped in. You should be able to simply remove the file from the project and try to build again. (And send along a PR if it’s fixed.)
PushObjectFactories() lets you add variants of Solar2D’s objects—Rtt::DisplayObject under the hood—with customized virtual methods, either by “before” and “after” logic and / or suppressing the original behavior. In particular, this can be used to mix actual rendering calls into object updates, where they can actually have some effect: an object might Draw() some OpenGL state change, for example.
It was mine. I was a little unsure the best place to raise my hand and ask !
The repo has more discussion, so I will head there
