      I'm using RetroPie 4.7.1 (commit 64053ff) installed on an x86 (x86_64) PC running the Raspberry PI Desktop OS (on Debian GNU/Linux 10 Buster) https://www.raspberrypi.org/software/raspberry-pi-desktop/

      I've followed this guide https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Debian/ to install RetroPie.

      The installation failed when trying to install mupen64plus. Here's the log https://pastebin.com/MhD4yRwd

      It seems that mupen64plus is the first emulator to install. As this one failed, none of the following where installed.

      Is this expected behaviour?
      I can install all the other emulators manually.

      Thanks!

        It shouldn't have failed. The same compiler errror doesn't appear on Ubuntu or latest Raspbian (which is based on the same Debian 10/Buster).

        It's something strange on this installation - the kernel looks like it's x86_64 (64 bit), but all packages downloaded are 32bit (i386) - is it a 64bit kernel with 32 bit userspace ?

          @hiulit It used to continue on error (in fact many errors were not tracked), but I changed it when overhauling some packaging logic. I will change this back as I see your point. I was maybe being overly cautious - there may be a case where it's preferable to abort but I'll switch it back.

          Maybe it should be a configurable option to abort on error.

          I'm interested in your setup though as seems unusual as @mitu mentioned.

            @buzz @mitu I have a VirtualBox's Virtual Machine set to Debian (64 bits) running Raspberry Pi Desktop (https://www.raspberrypi.org/software/raspberry-pi-desktop/), which may be 32 bits?

            Then I followed the guide on how to install RetroPie on Ubuntu/Debian https://www.raspberrypi.org/software/raspberry-pi-desktop/
