Building Pixymon on Beaglebone Black with Debian

Figured I’d post this since it took me a little time to get this working for myself and it may help others in the future…

I was able to build Pixymon on a Beaglebone black by following: http://www.cmucam.org/projects/cmucam5/wiki/Installing_PixyMon_on_Linux

  1. This package was not available so I skipped it:

sudo apt-get install qt4-default

  1. I had to comment out line 87 “QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -mno-ms-bitfields” in ~/pixy/src/host/pixymon/pixymon.pro because I kept getting this error: “cc1plus error unrecognized command line option -mno-ms-bitfields”

Runs slow as all hell, but I do get video feed and it does recognize my S1 signature so thats a good sign.
