Compile from source 7.06 on PI4 latest OS - OpenGL

Hi,
I would like to use 7.06 on PI4 with 64bit os but build fails complaining missing OpenGL. I don’t need 3d view (well I could live without it).

Is it possible to exclude OpenGL from the build?

Thanks in advance.

OpenGL is for both 2D and 3D. I think you could not live without 2D. I don’t know the details but I seriously doubt if OpenGL cannot be compiled for the ARM architecture.

I agree that I need at least 2D…LOL…however KiCAD 6.x runs on the PI so it should have been introduced somewhat later.
No dice then with 7.x?

Thanks.

Well there is a v7 flatpak for the RPi I believe so it should be possible.

You probably just need to install the devel version of that OpenGL lib.

I installed libopengl-dev (1.3.2-1) and didn’t work either.
I also tried with libcairo2-dev (1.16.0-5+rpt1) but it didn’t work either.

I tried with flatpak and voilà, 7.06 working (not 3D rendering but who cares).

Now, first of all thanks to Retiredfeline. Didn’t know flatpak at all.
Wondering if there is a way to compile from source, if there is a flatpack there should be a way.

At the moment I am perfectly fine with flatpack but of course I would like also to compile from source.
Probably there is a flag somewhere that could coope with the hw/os combination I have.
Thanks all for the help.

This is probably relevant given that RPi OS is based on an older release of Debian:
