could not successfully build retroarch

[nils-tusing]

Hi, need some help. Im trying to build RetroPie 4.2 from source on my Pi2B running Raspbian 4.9.
Im following the guide on GitHub (https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Manual-Installation)
Problem is it fails with this message:
"Could not successfully build RetroArch...
/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/retroarch/retroarch not found.)"

Log: https://files.fm/u/z7gggg77

Any ideas?

Looking at the build log, it seems that the OpenVG library is not found by the configure script:

Checking presence of package vg ... no
Checking existence of -lOpenVG -lEGL -lGLESv2 -lbcm_host -lvcos -lvchiq_arm ... no

But, the problem is you're building on a Raspbian Stretch image, which is at the moment not supported by RetroPie. You should use the previous version (Raspbian Jessie) to make sure it will work.
