I’m trying to run Minecraft Pi on GameShell, after doing a lot of searching and installed most of dependent packages, I’m still get this error when I execute ./minecraft-pi
./minecraft-pi: error while loading shared libraries: libbcm_host.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I tried to get this file on https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/tree/master/opt/vc/lib put it in /usr/lib and run sudo ldconfig -v and it shows libbcm_host.so -> libbcm_host.so but still got the same error when I try to run Minecraft Pi.
It seems to be part of some Raspberry Pi‘s package, but I can’t find a way to install Raspberry Pi package on GameShell. Any solution?
bcm_host is the Broadcom hardware interface library which is specifically for RaspberryPi hardware. I don’t think installing the .so file will do anything to GameShell since it has no relevant hardware.
This is a common problem for other Raspberry Pi releases too. I tried these a while back (they appear to have been removed now?), and they all gave the same error:
I’m curious if some of the Raspberry Pi applications would work if some kind of stubbed out version of bcm_host was available. I wonder how many actually use something in it, and how many are just linking against it because it’s standard practice to do so in the Raspberry Pi world?

They seems find a way to get it working, I wonder how they did it.
