Problem trying to build moonlight embedded on RPI 3

[BillBallong]

Please provide the following info.

NVidia Geforce Experience version:
Moonlight Embedded version: Moonlight Embedded v2.6.2
Moonlight Embedded source: https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-embedded/wiki/Full-details-for-Compilation-and-Installation-in-Raspbian-Or-OSMC
Moonlight Embedded running on: Raspberry Pi 3 model B rev 1.2
Moonlight Embedded running on distribution: Raspbian/Debian bullseye

Verbose output -verbose of Moonlight Embedded:

What is the expected result?
Trying to run cmake../ but it says it's not finding the requires packages.

What happens instead of that?
~/moonlight-embedded/build $ cmake ../

Same problem, any news on that?

There is no error in your provided logs. It says it successfully generated build files.

[BillBallong]

That's good then, I was thinking there was a problem with not finding the correct packages to build the files because when I run

"make -j$(nproc)" and "sudo make install"

There are 2 errors including missing some files.

Are you running the 64-bit version of Raspberry Pi OS? I think they only officially support MMAL with the 32-bit version (though it does work for what we use it for). You can try to install libraspberrypi-dev but if it doesn't fix the issue, you will have to build the libraries yourself.

I would recommend just sticking to the official moonlight-embedded packages, which handle all this for you.

But if you really want to compile yourself, you will need to use the static_libs branch of my fork of the Raspberry Pi userland repository, then compile and install it according to the packaging script, and finally try to build again.
