HalfLife2 / Source Engine Build

[ferrellsl]

I was able to create a successful build of the source-engine (https://github.com/nillerusr/source-engine) with the following workflow.

1. Install the prerequisites as identified at: https://github.com/nillerusr/source-engine/wiki/Source-Engine-(EN)
2. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/nillerusr/source-engine --recursive --depth 1
3. Move to the source-engine folder: cd source-engine
4. Create a folder on your Pi 5 Desktop called HL2
5. Start the WAF configuration tool: python3 waf configure -T release --64bits --prefix=~/Desktop/HL2
6. If the tool identifies any un-met dependencies that you've missed, install them and re-run the WAF configuration tool until they're all met.
7. Run the WAF compilation tool: python3 waf
8. Install the binaries: sudo python3 waf install
9. You should now have a hl2_launcher inside your HL2 folder.
10. Copy your Half-Life 2 steam folders over to your Pi 5 HL2 folder. You will find them on your PC at: x:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Half-Life 2.
11. You will need the following folders and their contents: hl2, bin, steam_input, and platform. You can delete any DLL and EXE files from your Pi 5 after copying the folders over as they're for an x86/64 system.

You should now be able to run the hl2_launcher and start the game.

I'm getting between 35 and 45 fps at 1080p as shown in the upper right corner of this screenshot. Sorry the text is so small.
