Cannot compile Emulation Station Kids mode
-
I'm struggling with installation of experimental package "Emulation Station Kids"...
The installation fails at compile time... here is the error I got from the log:
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Building 'emulationstation-kids' : EmulationStation with additional UI modes (kids / kiosk) = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Removing additional swap -- The C compiler identification is unknown -- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 4.9.2 -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/cc -- broken CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.0/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:61 (message): The C compiler "/usr/bin/cc" is not able to compile a simple test program.

It seems the script picks up the wrong compiler!! Maybe Zigurana can help me find a solution...
Thank you in advance for any help

Hey, thanks for bringing this up.
Kid-mode UI is not supported by the RetroPie folks, who have enough on their plate as it is. Please open up an issue at the repository: https://github.com/zigurana/EmulationStation/issues
