Could not successfully build powerblock - PowerBlock Driver (opt/retropie.../build/powerblock not found)

  • mikealves

    I seem to get this error when I try to install though RETROPIE setup and Mac terminal.
    Could not successfully build powerblock - PowerBlock Driver (opt/retropie.../build/powerblock not found)

    Using Pie 3+
    Retropie 4.4.4.16

    I have tried removing the driver and reinstalling several times.

    Can you post the contents of the last log file from $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/logs ? It should be timestamped and containing the actual error. Did you also update the RetroPie packages besides the RetroPie-Setup script ?

    @mitu I do believe I updated the RetroPie packages besides the RetroPie-Setup script.

    The error

    indicates you have a wiringpi library compiled agains another system (Raspbian Buster ?). Did you install it manually or you modified your apt sources to include something else than the Raspbian Stretch repositories ?

    I've run the compilation on a RetroPie 4.4.x system and I didn't get the error you have during compilation of controlblock.

    I installed wiringpi from here:

    http://wiringpi.com/download-and-install/

    I installed it this way:

    To update or install on a Raspbian-Lite system:

    sudo apt-get install wiringpi

    @mikealves wiringpi is already installed on a RetroPie system, however installing it through apt-get is also ok - but you didn't answer my other question: did you add extra-repositories to your apt sources ?

    Hey. I just followed the instructions on the WiringPi site and wound up with this.

    100%] Installing service.
    [....] Starting powerblock (via systemctl): powerblock.service.
    [100%] Built target installservice
    /home/pi/PowerBlock
    [SUCCESS] The PowerBlock driver binary is installed
    [SUCCESS] The PowerBlock service is running
    You can find the configuration file at /etc/powerblockconfig.cfg.

    Now it works fine. Thank you for your help. This noob wouldn't have figured without your help. Thanks so much for everything!

    Glad to hear that!
    Just in case, I have just updated the ControlBlock and PowerBlock modules such that wiringpi gets installed as APT packages as part go the module installation process.

    Does it work if you run the quick installation command from https://github.com/petrockblog/PowerBlock#quick-installation?

    Had to install wiringpi manually, and to execute steps from https://github.com/petrockblog/PowerBlock manually. Seems to be a version mismatch with library wiringpi.

    @superpie3k Thanks for your responses. I was away on vacation and only just got back to this. I had the same experience as above. "Had to install wiringpi manually, and to execute steps from https://github.com/petrockblog/PowerBlock manually. Seems to be a version mismatch with library wiringpi." But I got it working now.

    For future note: I removed the dependency to WiringPi now. Please see also https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/23328/powerblock-driver-quick-installation-fails/5.
