DXX-Rebirth fails to build

[redman223]

"Could not successfully build dxx-rebirth - DXX-Rebirth (Descent & Descent 2) source port (/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/dxx-rebirth/d1x-rebirth/d1x-rebirth not found)."

This is the first time I have encountered an issue like this (Pi 3 B+, 4.5.1). I posted both the rps and sconf logs below. Thank you for your help.

You're running an unsupported system - Raspbian Buster is not fully tested at the moment, though it will be probably be supported in a future version.
However, that's not the cause of the error - it seems you're missing the libraspberrypi-dev package, you need to install it first.

[redman223]

Must be a Buster issue, because when I type: sudo get-apt install libraspberrypi-dev

It says the latest version is already installed. I tested another card running Debian 9.9 and dxx-rebirth installed without any issues.

For future reference, which part of the code shows libraspberrypi-dev as missing?

You're confusing code with the log output. The only error I see in the 'scons.log' is

On a Stretch system, those folders belongs to the the package I mentioned (which is installed by default by RetroPie).

$ dpkg -S /opt/vc/include/interface/vcos/pthreads
libraspberrypi-dev: /opt/vc/include/interface/vcos/pthreads

It's the same on Buster, maybe try re-installing the package ?

[redman223]

I ran: sudo get-apt install --reinstall libraspberrypi-dev

Still the same issue. I'll keep an eye out for Buster comparability updates.

@redman223 I tested it now. It installs fine. It auto installed the required dependencies and then it compiled without issues. I'm using a pi4 with raspbian lite buster. Maybe update the retropie pi4 branch?

[redman223]

@Darksavior By that do you mean I should go into Retropie-Setup and run Update?

[Darksavior]

@redman223 Update raspbian buster as well. I don't know how retropie updates work with alternate branches, so just in case, I'd re-clone the github fkms_rpi4 branch and try again. Make sure you clean the dxx-rebirth source folder if it gives you the option before building again. I did not do anything special to build it. The script should auto-download the required dependencies.

[redman223]

@Darksavior So I ran:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

In addition to Update from within RetroPie-Setup.

It still does the same thing. Any next steps for troubleshooting?

@redman223 It never failed to build for me so I don’t know. I also never manually installed missing libs.

[psyke83]

This is a build error related to the new gcc version in buster. I'm going to send a fix upstream.

[Darksavior]

@psyke83 Funny how mine built fine then?

It's a problem that crops up only if you build against the legacy drivers. If you've got a Pi 4B or are using the fkms overlay for older, the problem won't happen.

I tried it again today and can confirm that it now installs properly. Thanks for the help!
