gbudny:
Thank you for testing OpenMoHAA.

As this option is no longer required to use shm_open beginning with glibc 2.34, presumably the developers have simply never tested their build system with older versions of the GNU C library.

Can you report this issue on GitHub and show your solution?

This project needs more testers that use computers with PowerPC processors.
I know that OpenMoHAA for MorphOS is the only well-tested PPC version.

I hope you can play it on your Raptor computer.

I created this ticket: https://github.com/openmoh/openmohaa/issues/618
I will play the game more to test on the Talos 2.
And I will possibly check on other PPC machines (based on G4 and G5 CPUs).

Thank you for opening it.
I see that Smallmodel accepted this suggestion and the issue is fixed now.

Great!
MoHAA is a fun game, and Smallmodel, with some help from the other users, made it playable in less than a year.
I have to admit that I am curious about the current state of the PowerPC version of OpenMoHAA for Linux. I know that Tle fixed some issues in one of the previous versions.
However, no one tested it after Smallmodel ported it to Linux PPC.

I tried to test on Linux PPC but unfortunately, as usual, it goes fast into a nightmare ...
First, I booted the PowerMac G5 and had a weird display. I didn't remember I had it in this state last time I booted it. I tried to install several Debian images and at the best, I go to the same point.
So, I booted the MacMini G4 that was in Debian 11 but I needed to install some packages, so as usual, I had errors about certificates and repositories and then unsatisfied dependencies and a new kernel trying to be installed but failing due to the boot partition turned in read-only mode (and I couldn't install the required hfsprogs package to fix that). So I installed the latest Debian 12 image and it worked and I finally compiled the game but I can't get a context for the 3D, even software rendering.
Honestly, I don't know if I will trash the old Ubuntu 16.10 that works on the iMac G5 ...
So, as a prerequisite to test the game on Linux PPC, I need a reliable distribution. I wonder if there is a full setup with a desktop that will work in qemu on the Talos 2, emulating a PowerMac machine ...

What about Fienix or Adelie Linux?
