Retroarch fails to compile on Odroid C1+

BuZz

try building it again from retropie-setup - the initial problem you had should be fixed. The other problem on that thread is related to missing link libraries.

@BuZz I just realized that you were also commenting on github. Thanks, I'll try from retropie-setup.sh script now.

The initial issue above should be fixed. the post you made on github were completely different build issues :) It's possible there might be other problems, but let's see if the first one is sorted and we can look at the others.

Thanks @BuZz It's compiling now (via the retropie_setup.sh script) I'll let you know the outcome. I guess I didn't realize until now that there were 2 separate issues.

Just also to mention the odroid-c1 support is limited. I don't use it and I test only occasionally. Afaik very few people use it.

I understand, thank you. I've been running retropie on a few pi's for a while and most everything seems to work great. I'm just not a fan of sluggish sd cards (I've tried several), and various other crashes. Some of which have caused me to start from scratch. Figured I would try it on the Odroid line, with their much faster emmc's and slightly better performing hardware (drivers for said hardware are a different story).

...and it looks like retroarch compiled successfully via the retropie_setup.sh script!!

looking at the retroarch source history, I suspect it might have been broken for the last 12 days for odroid c1, so the timing for Kivutar fix was perfect :)

Wow! I could build the latest RetroPie on C1+ Ubuntu 16.04.
RetroPie runs very well surprisingly after overclocking the CPU frequency to 1.8Ghz.
Overclock ODROID-C1

I should apply this patch to avoid the retroarch compiling error.
https://github.com/libretro/Lakka/blob/lakka/projects/OdroidC1/patches/retroarch/retroarch-02-fix-mali-fbdev.patch

Please update the libretro in retropie git.

I'm actually having this same issue using RetroPie_Setup. I've re-cloned from git and updated retropie-setup.sh from the script however I'm still getting that same compilation error on an ODroid C1+. Am I missing a step?

@mtyndorf I have a fix for it in my odroid-c2 branch - And have reported it upstream -

https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/4248

Diff there if you know how to manually patch / compile, otherwise please wait and I will merge it soon.

@BuZz Cool, I thought it had already been merged in. My source-foo is not as strong as it once was.
