![]() ![]() ![]() Dependencies installed fine from what I can tell but when I did the qmake & make command it ran into what looked like exceptions and failed.Ģ) I tried installing Ubuntu Mate on the pi, but I wound up not being able to update any software because the boot partition was only like 60Mb. This is what I've tried:ġ) I tried installing debian dependencies in raspbian, then building it from source via the instructions on the Cool-retro-term github. Yea, I could just load up any distro and learn with the default terminal, but that's not the dream.Īnyways, I've spent a few hours every day trying to get this working in any way I could. ![]() I have a desire to learn how to use a terminal extensively in linux and this would be perfect for that. i chalked this up to the display being old and bad and gave up.Ībout a week ago this video: Fanciest Looking Terminal Emulators on the Planet popped up in my Youtube feed and I saw a demo of Cool-retro-term and realized that its what Ive been looking for. I banged my head against the wall trying different things to get it to work, and I got something to display, but it was crazy unfocused. I bought an active HDMI to VGA converter and nothing worked. I bought a old green CRT with a VGA input on ebay and tried everything I could to get it to connect to that display. When the first raspberry pi came out I attempted to get something going. I've always had it in the back of my mind that I want a dedicated text display that functioned similarly. I spent hours and weeks and months in front of that thing teaching myself to program in basic. My dad had a commodore 16 that he gave me along with an old green CRT monitor. I have very fond memories from when I was a child in the late '80s and '90s. ![]()
