can't build X68k emu

Jimbo

I have the same issue, I could previoulsy install but now get the same error. Ever find a fix?

mitu

@jimbo What's your RetroPie version ? The package is installable - from source - without problems. I just installed it on version 4.4, but the package script hasn't change in over a year.

Jimbo

4.4 latest version!

As I said I could previously install but on this new image it fails every time. I suppose I am going to have to dig out the error log and see whats happening under the bonnet!

mitu

@jimbo Look in the /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/logs, there should be a compressed logs file with the compilation logs. What's your pc's hostname ? There is a Libretro bug that manifests itself when the hostname contains win, making the compilation think it should compile the windows version.

Jimbo

PC’s hostname? What my desktop PC? Which is a iMac?

I havent had any issues with other Libretro builds.

mitu

@jimbo Well, it was worth a shot, I thought if you had RetroPie installed on an pc (Ubuntu/Debian), this might be an issue.

Jimbo

@mitu No Rapsberry Pi 3B+

mitu

@jimbo Then just get the log file for the compilation and upload it to pastebin.com, maybe we can spot the error.

Jimbo

@mitu Will do when I get home....

Jimbo

@mitu Uploaded error log file when trying to install lr-px68k

I can see it being directed to my 'skysource' dir? Why?

@jimbo Out of memory - quit ES first. Also what's your memory split ? Not seen an out of memory issue with this emulator before, so maybe due to your config.

Jimbo

@buzz Ok quit ES and attempting to install that way!

YAY it worked!!!!!

As for memory split, not something I have tweaked or touched in anyway!

BuZz

@jimbo May be due to memory intensive ES theme then. Anyway, glad it's working now.

Jimbo

@buzz Just using carbon, nothing flash. Now to find a logo for Sharp X68000 for carbon!

BuZz

@jimbo will test and up swap if needed.
