Hatari in linux mint can not be installed missing Could not install package (s): libpng12-dev

macsgv

Hello, first of all thanks for this great project that is retropie, the query is the following I could not install hatari because it says that the libpng12-dev file is missing, this is the error:

Hatari
Could not install package (s): libpng12-dev

I understand what I read here: https://github.com/Aloshi/EmulationStation/issues/750

That libpng12-dev has been replaced by libpng-dev :-(

How can I install Hatari if I am missing this libpng12-dev file?

I have installed retropie 4.4 on a netbook with linux mint 19 and most of the emulators work correctly but for DosBox I get the same problem: Could not install package (s): libpng12-dev

Thanks for what you can do :-)
Greetings.

@macsgv Why don't you use the Libretro Core (lr-hatari) ? Is there any advantage using the standalong Hatari over the Libretro version ?

I couldn't get it to work (lr-hatari), and neither could he.

Linux Mint 19 is not yet supported (It's also still in beta). I can add support when I get a chance, but for now I recommend sticking with non BETA releases.

I have added some platform flags for Linux Mint 19 that may resolve it (so it will use the newer png package). However I am unable to test currently - you will need to update retropie-setup to try the changes.

@buzz Hello and thanks for your prompt response when I want to update retropie-setup I receive the following message:

Fetched the latest version of the Retropie Setup script.

Is there any way to force the update of Retropie Setup script?

mitu

@macsgv The message appears after a successful update of the RetroPie-Setup script, so you should have the latest version. What's the version number on top of the setup script ?

@youxia Hi Youxsia follow this video tutorial

It worked for me and I was able to make lr-hatari work.
Regards :-)

@macsgv Thanks, but any chance you could do a quick writeup?
I hate "watching" tutorials on principle - plus it's in Spanish and does not seem to refer to lr-hatari anyway.
