-===== Building Latest Version Of Odamex =====

-===== Resolved Problems =====
+===== RX 6600 support =====
-  * There's a ''%%signal-desktop%%'' package, now. ([[https://smallest.dog/blog/signal-on-freebsd/|I previously fixed it with a VM and X-forwarding]].)
+It looks like support for the AMD RX 6600 GPU will be in [[https://www.freebsd.org/releases/14.0R/schedule/|FreeBSD 14.0]], and may also be added to a 13.x release at some point.
-==== Discord ====
+The [[https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-current/|FreeBSD-CURRENT mailing list]] may also be relevant, since (as I understand it) -CURRENT is currently for development of 14.0.
-Install ''%%steam-linux-utils%%'', then run this script to set up Discord (in ~/software/Discord):
+===== Containers =====
+[[https://smallest.dog/resources/containers-on-freebsd/|This information is now on my website.]]
+===== Discord =====
+Unreliable, buggy, WIP.
 <code>
-mkdir -p ~/software && cd ~/software && curl -L 'https://discord.com/api/download?platform=linux&format=tar.gz' | tar xzf -
+sudo pkg install linux-c7-nss linux-c7-atk linux-c7-at-spi2-atk linux-c7-cups-libs linux-c7-libdrm linux-c7-gtk3 linux-c7-alsa-lib linux-c7-ca-certificates
 </code>
-Then, to run Discord:
+Use this script:
 <code>
-/usr/bin/env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/steam-utils/lib64/fakeudev:/compat/linux/lib64/nss /home/puppy/software/Discord/Discord --no-sandbox --no-zygote --in-process-gpu --v=0
+#!/compat/linux/bin/sh
+mkdir -p ~/software
+cd ~/software
+if [ ! -d Discord ]; then
+    curl -L 'https://discord.com/api/download?platform=linux&format=tar.gz' | tar xzf -
+fi
+cd Discord
+#PA_SOCK_PATH=$(sockstat | awk -v me=$(whoami) -F'[ \t]+' '$1 == me && $2 == "pulseaudio" && $6 ~ /native/ { print $6; exit 0 }')
+#export PULSE_SERVER=unix:${PA_SOCK_PATH}
+/usr/bin/env ./Discord --no-sandbox --no-zygote --in-process-gpu --v=0 "$@"
 </code>
-If you want, copy ''%%~/software/Discord/discord.desktop%%'' somewhere and change the ''%%Exec=...%%'' line to specify the above command, and put it... wherever .desktop files go.

 ==== Audio ====
-!!! This has been made a lot more complicated and harder to debug by the fact that apparently PulseAudio got installed anyway and I don't know how or why, and it starts with Firefox for some reason even though Firefox used to work without it.
+!!! This has been made a lot more complicated and harder to debug by the fact that apparently %%PulseAudio%% got installed anyway and I don't know how or why, and it starts with Firefox for some reason even though Firefox used to work without it.
-Initially, I had lots of general audio glitchiness. Intermittent static/buzzing noises. Using virtual_oss allowed me to record desktop audio (with OBS, recordmydesktop, etc). The solution appears to be using an 8ms buffer for virtual_oss and avoiding PulseAudio. (Any time I install PulseAudio, I have trouble keeping it from starting and taking over audio for the whole system -- which is a problem, given how poorly it performs on my system.)

 NOTE: I am having trouble with intermittent audio glitchiness again. Apparently it wasn't a solution so much as an improvement.

   * Ripping a *CD* (using ''%%abcde%%'') takes upwards of half an hour:idea: for some reason. On my girlfriend's computer, it takes roughly 5 minutes per CD. We swapped disc drives for unrelated reasons, and it still took half an hour on my system and about 5 minutes on her system. (TODO: Try seeing if it's reproducible on other OSes on my system.)
-===== Things I'd Like Ports/Packages For =====
+===== Ports/Packages That Are Missing Or Outdated =====
+These ports either don't exist, or are outdated enough that it caused me problems:
-  * [[https://github.com/Xfennec/progress|progress]]
+  * [[https://github.com/Xfennec/progress|progress]] &mdash; no port/package.
-  * [[https://discord.com/|Discord]]
+  * [[https://discord.com/|Discord]] &mdash; proper port/package is missing, but usable via web browser.
+  * [[https://odamex.net/|Odamex]] &mdash; latest version as of 2023-01-18 is 10.3.0. [[https://www.freshports.org/games/odamex/|version in ports]] is 0.7.0, which is multiple years old.
-===== Things From The Above List That Got Ports/Packages =====
+These ports were previously nonexistent or outdated, but are now both existent up-to-date enough that it doesn't cause me issues:
-  * [[https://www.signal.org/|Signal]]
+  * [[https://www.signal.org/|Signal]] &mdash; now available as ''%%signal-desktop%%''
-  * [[https://github.com/postmodern/ruby-install|ruby-install]]
