[GAMES] ET Legacy v2.77

[tle]

v2.77 was released yesterday. I was abit curious about how compatible this game is with ppc64le. It turns out it is very trivial to make the game compile with system libs on Fedora 33

Once the Pull Request (https://github.com/etlegacy/etlegacy/pull/1593) is merged, you could compile the game easily with following options:

The game plays perfectly. The only downside is lacking support for any game hosted with x86_64 server.

Tagging to remind myself to build this.

Are there enough players to hold matches without connecting to x86_64 servers?

[tle]

AFAIK none. How about we organise an ET Legacy weekend betwen POWER-users?

[tle]

Sadly the PR is not accepted because the project does not want to support PPC (at least at this stage). Oh well

[Borley]

The ET:L devs closed out your pull with the pretty harsh stance that PPC == Apple

This is not a technical issue preventing support, but a perception issue about the Power ecosystem.

We are in bad shape if there are still those who approach us to Apple, really bad damn ...! But is it also possible to compile for Debian and derivatives?
