Help compiling retroarch under Groovyarcade
« on: February 11, 2016, 02:05:20 pm »
Hi,

I want to add N64, PSP and DC support to Groovyarcade.

I'm trying under a virtualbox installation of Groovyarcade for 64 bits. It has access to internet but when I type "git clone git://github.com/libretro/libretro-super.git" y get "bash: git: command not found" error.

I tried to copy the files of Retroarch from Lakka distribution, but I get this error when I run Retroarch:
"Didn't read whole file: /sys/devices/system/cpu/pressent.
Didn't read whole file: /sys/devices/system/cpu/possible."

What should I do to compile under Groovyarcade environment?

Regards.

Looks like git is not installed in the Groovyarcade distro.

I'm pretty sure there's a package manager though, which distro is GA built upon?
On a scale of fakeness, from more genuine to more fake, we'd have:

1.- Plastic plants (cf. Fake Plastic Trees)
2.- Inflatable dolls
3.- Arcade cabinets with LCD monitors

GA is built upon Arch Linux. The package manager is 'pacman'. You can type 'pacman -Syyu' to update it.

Thanks, I typed that and I think it's now downloading and updating all Linux packages already in the system.

What should I type to download from a repository or compile Retroarch?

pacman --help
should give you all the information you need.

Or you can always do
man pacman
and open the manual ;)

I've gone a bit further but still no luck.

I managed to to compile and install apacman:

wget https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/apacman.tar.gz
tar xzf apacman
cd apacman
makepkg -si

and then install SDL2:
apacman -S sdl2

Bue when I try with Retroarch, it downloads everything start checking the source files and then it gives an error when 'LD retroarch' line appears it gives a lot of undefined references and makefile 124 recipe for target 'retroarch' failed:
apacman -S retroarch-rbp-git

If I use:
pacman -S sdl2-git
pacman -S retroarch-git

it works for SDL but does not found retroarch-git :(
