I have 2.1.7 installed on Raspbian os but its crashing a lot
Raspbian is installed on a laptop not a Pi, I had considered trying to build Wings but the tut is out of date and I get the feeling I'm setting myself up to fail, I'm not Linux savvy so if it goes wrong I doubt I could solve it..
Is there a recent 32bit version?
I have Raspbian because its faster than Lubuntu but sadly the desktop environment is 32bit
Did you try to follow the instructions in BUILD.Unix?
I've not tried yet, I was focusing on getting Windows working
maybe over the weekend
I got it working, no opencl yet but I think I know why
Code:
Erlang/OTP 21 [erts-10.2.4] [source] [smp:2:2] [ds:2:2:10] [async-threads:1]
Eshell V10.2.4 (abort with ^G)
1> wings-2.2.4
Reading preferences from: /home/pi/.config/Wings3D/Preferences.txt
Failed open OpenCL dynamic library
OpenCL not available: undef

Good to know.
If you wrote down a step-by-step to make that happens don't forget to share here since someone else may have troubles trying to build a linux version in the future. (and assuming it will be valid for any Debian distro).
When I installed the older 2.1.7 I did it from the repository, this installed Erlang but there was development files missing, it fooled me because I could create a erlang wx form but some headers were missing to build Wings so I ran
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install erlang
This installed the other files
in the BUILD.unix file installing rebar3 it states you make, it should be ./bootstrap
I'm still having issues with rebar but I think it just needs the path setting
You have to remember to just have the folder named "wings" without the version numbers
After that it its simply
from within the wings folder
I'll let you know about rebar..
Its so much more stable, I tested the build for over an hour with no crashes or warnings
