wget https://astr0baby.online/QNX/8.0-DEVELOPER_DESKTOP/RPi4_aarch64/EXULT/bin/exult 
wget https://astr0baby.online/QNX/8.0-DEVELOPER_DESKTOP/RPi4_aarch64/EXULT/bin/ipack 

cd /usr/local/share 
mkdir exult 
cd exult 
wget https://astr0baby.online/QNX/8.0-DEVELOPER_DESKTOP/RPi4_aarch64/EXULT/usr/local/share/exult/exult_bg.flx

wget https://astr0baby.online/QNX/8.0-DEVELOPER_DESKTOP/RPi4_aarch64/EXULT/usr/local/share/exult/midisfx.flx 

mkdir blackgate 
cd blackgate 

### Copy the blackgate data here 

### Save/adjust config as .exult.cfg and place in your $HOME  
https://astr0baby.online/QNX/8.0-DEVELOPER_DESKTOP/RPi4_aarch64/EXULT/exult.cfg.txt  
### Make sure audio is disabled, otherwise Exult freezes

### Run the game 

SDL_VIDEODRIVER=qnx exult 





### Building from source  

### Dependencies 
    - vorbis 

git clone https://github.com/xiph/vorbis 
cd vorbis 
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j4 
make install 


### Exult needs to be autoconfigured, if you wish to reproduce the steps, make sure you have these macros 
cd /usr/share/aclocal
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/autoconf-archive/autoconf-archive/master/m4/ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/autoconf-archive/autoconf-archive/master/m4/ax_check_compile_flag.m4
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/autoconf-archive/autoconf-archive/master/m4/ax_compare_version.m4

### Get patched exult sources 

wget https://astr0baby.online/QNX/8.0-DEVELOPER_DESKTOP/RPi4_aarch64/EXULT/exult-1.12.1.tar.gz 
tar -zxvf exult-1.12.1.tar.gz
cd exult-1.12.1 

mkdir -p m4
aclocal -I /usr/share/aclocal -I m4 --install --force
libtoolize --force --copy
autoconf   -B /usr/share/autoconf   -I /usr/share/aclocal   -I /usr/share/autoconf/m4sugar   --force
autoheader 
automake --add-missing --copy --force-missing

### This will produce a usable configure  
### Next we can configure it 

./configure --disable-alsa --disable-timidity-midi --disable-mt32emu  --disable-tools

### Before running make patch makefile in root directory of exult as follows:

OGG_LIBS = -logg -L/usr/local/lib -lvorbisfile -lvorbis 

### Make 

make -j4 
make install 


### In order to play Ultima7 (BlackGate for example) place the datafiles in /usr/local/share/exult 
### files and dirs should be all lowercase (make sure you have the gamedat and staic datadirs there !)  

[root@qnxpi /usr/local/share/exult/blackgate]# ls
adlibmus.dat  armor.dat     faces.vga  initgame.dat  intrordm.dat  map_translated.jpg  npcflag.dat   schedule.dat  static    u7map        weapons.dat
adlibsfx.dat  endgame.dat   fonts.vga  install.prm   introsnd.dat  monsters.dat        occlude.dat   shapes.vga    text.flx  u7voice.flx  wgtvol.dat
ammo.dat      endshape.flx  gamedat    introadm.dat  mainshp.flx   mt32mus.dat         palettes.flx  shpdims.dat   tfa.dat   ultima7.doc  wihh.dat

### Save the exult.cfg.txt in your home dir as .exult.cfg 
### I have configured the game SDL display for my 800x480 LCD display attached to the RPi4B so adjust accordingly to your setup 
### Make sure audio is disabled, otherwise the Exult freezes

### Running the game from screen session
