**SOLVED** - Trying to install Daphne - Failing with error daphne.bin not found
-
Trying to install Daphne through the Retropie setup screen (experimental installs) - it runs through (what it looks like) installation, and then completes after a bit and goes back to the menu. If you quit out of the menu, it comes back saying Cannot install Daphne - Laserdisc Emulator - Daphne.bin not found.
I'm a die hard Dragon's Lair nut (own the original!) and really want this added to my cabinet :( Please, any advice for this noob is greatly appreciated.

Error messages received: daphne.bin not foundI just went through this about a week or so ago. You need to fallow the wiki and make sure the roms folder is structured properly with the correct files from the daphne dowloader, provided you have the dvd rom it will download all the files need automatically.
RetroPie Daphne setup -
That's just it, it doesn't get to complete the Daphne installation nor does it make the daphne folder under roms. It's all still in the retropie-setup/tmp folders when it stops installation. It just seems like it won't install to get to this point where I can put the roms/images..

Did you try a reboot after install? As long as your internet access it working it should install fine, I have installed it on 2 Rpi3's with no issues at all.
If it still doesn't work you could try manually installing.
$ git clone https://github.com/Shmoopty/daphne-pi.git
$ cd daphne-pi
$ ./build-daphne.sh
$ sudo ./install-daphne.sh -
@Finhead Awesome!! Tyvm for the manual installation process.. :D I'm going to try that now!
-
just fair warning that build is a tad janky and wont work as well as the one provided with retropie.
-
Manual install worked flawlessly!! You are the best @Finhead :D I owe ya one! :D
-
@herb_fargus - I wish I could get the Retropie install to work - but every time I run it, I get the same exact errors, can't find daphne.bin in the Retropie-Setup/tmp area.. :(
-
@herb_fargus @Finhead - Got it working with Dragons Lair!! Thank you very much for your assistance! :)
-
It would be useful to see the log to see why the RetroPie daphne build failed - please can you upload it somewhere (eg pastebin.com). logs are stored in
~/RetroPie-Setup/logs/ -

That's great you got it working, it looks killer with Attract Mode front end. I have it and Space Ace working nicely now.

@BuZz Sorry about that BuZz - I would have uploaded it sooner, but weekends are usually pretty busy around here :D
Here it is! http://pastebin.com/SDuMiqyj

are you running a wheezy based retropie image ? Wheezy is now unsupported. What is the output of
cc --version? The C compiler is too old I think hence I think you must be on Raspbian Wheezy. -
@BuZz - I thought I got the image directly from the Retropie site, but now I don't remember.
The response I get is:
cc (Raspbian 4.7.3-11+rpi1) 4.7.3Is that the image you are referring to? Do I have the wrong image? I don't mind wiping it all out and starting over if I have to. I'd rather have a good version that's working than not :)
-
and the output of
cat /etc/debian_version? Looks like you have an old image - you will need to start from a new Jessie image. Perhaps you downloaded the image before we switched over to Jessie. -
if you update the retropie-setup script, it should warn you if using the unsupported Raspbian version.
-
@BuZz - That comes back as 8.0

I run the script - says that it's fetched the latest version and then flashes so fast and comes back to the menu system.
-
ok that's correct - so look like you somehow have your default gcc set to 4.7 then - instead of 4.9
best bet would just be to remove gcc-4.7 for now (and make sure gcc-4.9 is installed)
-
@BuZz I'm a complete noob when it comes to this stuff. Do I need to format the sdcard and start from scratch or is there a simple way to change it?
Thanks for all your input btw! greatly appreciated!
