LibreSprite on OpenBSD works*, wow**, and it was easy*** to make it run

*until it crashes; gotta figure out what it's unhappy about
** it's an old version
*** one compile time error resulting in a one-line diff, plus an hour of time

@nina_kali_nina are you installing from pristine sources or are you using something like pkgsrc to do the dependency management?
@avatastic just building from sources from GitHub; this is more of an experiment than anything else.
nice! happy to see #libresprite running on #openbsd
@hi thanks! It is very unstable, and I think it's because my diff is causing problems with window event handling. I was mostly interested how difficult it'd be to just compile (not difficult at all!), but I'll probably have to fix the issue caused problems with compilation for real now
please keep us posted! ❤️
@hi of course! By the way, are there any resources you'd recommend for me as a newcomer to OpenBSD? For now I'm mostly relying on manpages and online search (with Reddit being surprisingly helpful in finding out about hardware compatibility). I expect mail lists to be super important, but so far I didn't discover a convenient way to search through them just yet. I guess I should read the main website depth-first, if nothing else :D
https://marc.info/ has a decent search for mailing lists
MARC: Mailing list ARChives

@nina_kali_nina

Perhaos you find https://marc.info/?w=2 useful to search through the mailing lists. Besides #OpenBSD they have a lot of other lists too. 😊

@hi I have a WIP patch that prevents crashes - https://github.com/LibreSprite/LibreSprite/issues/542#issuecomment-4063449431 - now I need to figure out how to test it, and possibly make a PR...
