After the last update of Retropie for RP4 - Could not successfully build lr-flycast

[BuZz]

@roslof yep. previously we were generating armv6 code due to our CFLAGS not being passed during link time optimisation. Lto can be buggy so I may disable it but I'm narrowing down currently which flags are causing the issue.

[BuZz]

@roslof I sent you an email regarding testing something - No pressure - just if you're comfortable reverting files in RetroPie /using git and familiar with Dreamcast it could help me. Thanks.

[roslof]

@BuZz no trouble. Would be happy to help. I'm very familiar with Dreamcast, the Pi4B and the three existing emulators.

Please update RetroPie-Setup and reinstall lr-flycast from source. The issue was the Makefile using -O3 optimisation and producing unreliable code. Switched to -O2 which is the RetroPie default anyway, and on arm can actually be faster in some cases (although it probably wont make a noticeable difference).

[BuZz]

Forgot to remove the rollback. Just did that so if you updated already please do it again to get the latest code.

[BuZz]

Lol. And again. Sorry - I messed up. I removed the git clone line rather than just removing the parameters. Brain fart.

[roslof]

@BuZz LOL! No worries.

[roslof]

Confirmed lr-flycast compiles and runs with RetroPie (40ab240).
Will backup and set this as the benchmark build.

@SartreFan that's unrelated (and the missing n is intentional).

Why is it intentional? I was trying yesterday to “killall emulationstation” and I couldn’t, I realized the “n” was missing via “top”

[BuZz]

@hostolis It's intentional because by default killall will use the first 15 characters of a process.

man killall - you can use the -e option if you want.
