      @Lolonois Hi, maybe I didn't explain well the problem. RetroPie script always checks for SDL and Mesa, where is the lines of the script responsible for this behaviour? I don't want that RetroPie mess up with my already installed libraries

        @FranceMSR if you add own_sdl2=0to /opt/retropie/configs/all/retropie.cfg RetroPie-Setup will not force installation of the RetroPie version of sdl2.

        If the file doesn't exist already you can create it with this line.

        (To note: On desktop/x11 targets like RetroPie on x86/x86_64 it defaults to own_sdl2=0 without the entry needing to be present)

          @FranceMSR I forgot to add, we don't force any Mesa version to be installed. If you have upgraded Mesa it should be fine.

          EmulationStation also should work fine with kms.

            @BuZz I did what you wrote but for example when I try to install EmulationStation within RetroPie script I see these lines of log:

              Additionally EmulationStation didn't build, I receive this error:

              Could not successfully build sdl2 - SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) v2.x (/home/<user>/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/sdl2/libsdl2-dev_2.0.10+5rpi_armhf.deb not found).

                @FranceMSR You won't be able to stop it installing the mesa packages without reworking the getDepends code. I've used a newer mesa but I built debian packages.

                  @FranceMSR sorry I meant you need to set own_sdl2=0 I got it the wrong way round.

                    Ok, make sense.

                    I built Mesa 22.0.4 and DRM from sources, so if I don't want Mesa and DRM to be messed up need I to remove the dependencies from the other scripts modifying all getDepends variables?

                      @FranceMSR hmm, I'd rather extend this line with clauses to ignore libs (libdrm, -mesa-dev aso. identified in the emulator scriptmodules), thus not entering the following if branch.

                      Thanks for mentioning the own_sdl2 switch, I didn't know about it until y'day, @buzz.

                          Install your Mesa and sdl2 library in /usr/local and config LD for use this before the one installed by RetroPie.
                          In this way you can use original RetroPie script without lose your build library
