fceumm_libretro.so not found

Hello, the lr-fceumm core failed to install on a fresh setup of RetroPie. OS is Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS, which is also a fresh install. I have issues with other cores too. I received an error when initially running the RetroPie setup script. After setup completed, I received the same error when attempting to install the lr-fceumm package individually from the RetroPie setup menu.

The error I get is: "Could not successfully build lr-fceumm . . . /home/games/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/lr-fceumm/fceumm_libretro.so not found."

I check the Script for this core in https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/libretrocores/lr-fceumm.sh and its call to fceumm_libretro.so

" function sources_lr-fceumm() {
gitPullOrClone "$md_build" https://github.com/libretro/libretro-fceumm.git
}

function build_lr-fceumm() {
make -f Makefile.libretro clean
make -f Makefile.libretro
md_ret_require="$md_build/fceumm_libretro.so"
}"

And the libretro-fceumm in https://github.com/libretro/libretro-fceumm dont contain any .so file.

@Dark_Senpai said in fceumm_libretro.so not found:

And the libretro-fceumm in https://github.com/libretro/libretro-fceumm dont contain any .so file.

That's because compiling failed for that emulator, as the message before said:

 "Could not successfully build lr-fceumm . . . /home/games/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/lr-fceumm/fceumm_libretro.so not found."

Can you try to re-install the lr-fceumm package and - if it doesn't work, like you said - post the build log from $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/logs ? It should be the last log file produced (they're time-stamped). Unzip the file and then upload its contents on pastebin.com, then put the URL to the log here.

@mitu Hello, and thanks, here is the link https://pastebin.com/L2nPpVqn

Ah, yes, the old Libretro makefile(s) bug where it thinks that if your hostname contains win, you must be on Windows machine, hence it expects the resulting DSO to be a .dll. I guess this happens also for other cores which use a similar method for determining the platform in their makefile.

We'll report this upstream, but if you'd like to get fix it faster, just change your hostname to not contain win - it's an ugly fix, but it should work.

@mitu Thanks a lot!!! I changed the hostname and all cores are installed correctly
