Compiles but does not work on FreeBSD 14.2, vague error

[mrothfuss]

It appears there is some path not being set correctly. I tried increasing the debug info (PLUGINDBG=1), but it didn't add any information. Running mupen64plus with --verbose also did not provide more information.

UI-Console: using Video plugin: 'Glide64mk2 Video Plugin' v2.6.0
UI-Console: Video plugin library: /usr/local/lib/mupen64plus/mupen64plus-video-glide64mk2.so
UI-Console: using Audio plugin: 'Mupen64Plus SDL Audio Plugin' v2.5.9
UI-Console: Audio plugin library: /usr/local/lib/mupen64plus/mupen64plus-audio-sdl.so
mupen64plus: : No such file or directory

I've confirmed the mupen64plus-input-raphnetraw.so file is being found/loaded: shredding the shared object causes mupen to report an invalid filetype for the plugin.

I compiled in the project/unix directory. Both commands compiled and produced the same runtime error.

gmake all CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc13
gmake all CC=/usr/bin/clang

It is worth mentioning the adapter is working with the mupen64plus-input-sdl.so input plugin, but without the advanced features provided by the raw driver.

The input plugin uses libhid to open and send raw commands to the adapter. I'm not familiar with FreeBSD, but under Linux users must set special permissions first for this to work. Maybe the error message has something to do with this, even though I would expect a permission denied error instead....

Could you try compiling the adapter manager and test if you can list the adapter with gcn64ctl -l ?
The adapter manager uses the same method to access the adapters, and if we can reproduce the problem there it will be easier to troubleshoot as it is a standalone program instead of a plugin.

Thank you for the quick reply. The adapter manager can't find the controller.

./gcn64ctl -l
Simply listing the devices...
Hid enumerate returned NULL
0 device(s) found
No device found

[mrothfuss]

It is probably a system configuration issue. I'll look into it.

[mrothfuss]

On FreeBSD, the sysctl variable hw.usb.usbhid.enable=1 is required. However, only root can use hid_enumerate to find the device. I haven't found a permission I can change to grant access to a normal user.

[mrothfuss]

Ok. the plot thickens. I had to change permissions on the device (/dev/usb/1.2.0). Now I can see the device as a normal user

./gcn64ctl -l
Simply listing the devices...
Found device 'N64 to USB v3.5', serial '102801'. Supports 1 channel(s), 2 raw channel(s), Block io: Yes
1 device(s) found
Found 1 devices

But behavior in mupen64 has not changed.
