meta-doom

Yocto layer for running Doom

Description

Provides recipes to build several variants of ZDoom.

Selecting a ZDoom variant

The layers sets a default PREFERRED_PROVIDER for virtual/zdoom to try an guess which ZDoom variant you should use. In most cases, gzdoom is preferred, but this variant doesn't support 32-bit devices, in which case the default will be lzdoom. If you want to override the automatic selection, add the following to local.conf:

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/zdoom = "gzdoom"

Then, in your image recipe add:

IMAGE_INSTALL += "zdoom"

Autolaunching ZDoom

The zdoom-autolaunch recipe can be used to make ZDoom start up automatically on boot. In order to use this recipe, you must be using systemd as your init system, and run weston as your UI (running weston in kiosk mode is recommended if you just want to boot and run ZDoom).

This recipe also provides a configuration files that gets installed to /etc/zdoom/zdoom.ini. You can override this file in your own layer to easily change the ZDoom startup behavior
