Riecast won't build

@muttleyloz said in Riecast won't build:

really? I'm almost certain I have the latest updates too.

I see from the log you're using the latest LTS, but I cannot reproduce the errors building. Can you upload the logs from one of the packages that fail buildin - PPSSPP for instance ?

Here is the log from the ppsspp build fail

Your errors are network related, the scriptmodule doesn't even get to the compiling part - the source download through git is interrupted.

Try to fix your git errors and then try to re-install the emulator from source.

@muttleyloz Maybe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Firewall is to blame then. Nothing we can do regarding your internet connection etc.

@buzz it's a possibility, but I can access the github site usually and dl other packages. seems strange it affects only some packages.

mitu

@muttleyloz Depends on the repo and the objects. PPPSSPP and its dependencies pack some pretty large objects. Googling around suggests

compile git with openssl instead of gnutls
modify the git parameters for http communication - i.e. http.postBuffer.

Try one of these and see if that improves the situation.

@buzz also, a few days ago I could download and build these packages on a different distro, LMDE, Cindy 3, No issue till I ran into Libpng 12-0 issues. I think its a system issue.
