impossible to build lr-PUAE on Intel NUC

yserra

Hi all,

Hardware : Intel NUC 8i7HVK ("Hades Canyon") with Core i7-88009G, 16 GB of RAM, 1 TB hard drive
Monitor : HDMI->DVI Dell Monitor without speakers
Sound : simple headset from the front jack (works very well during games)
System : Ubuntu 22.04 64-bit Desktop, Linux 5.15.0-43-generic, Retropie 4.8.2
Home directory : /home/yann (not /home/pi)

I just migrated my Raspberry Pi 4's RetroPie ROMs/BIOS/Configs environment to an Intel PC NUC. Everything works like a charm, except Amiga emulation (I'm using the excellent Amiberry on Raspberry ; it's so sad only lr-PUAE is available on x86...).

I can only install (the lower) lr-PUAE2021, not the real lr-PUAE. Since I can't install any binary, I can only compile from the source, here is the error I get when RetroPie-setup tries to build lr-PUAE:

Could not successfully build lr-puae - P-UAE Amiga emulator port for libretro (/home/yann/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/lr-puae/puae_libretro.so not found).

Could you please tell me what I'm missing?
Many thanks.

Looks like an upstream issue, due to the newer glibc - https://github.com/libretro/libretro-uae/pull/529.
fs-uae (another Amiga emulator available) should also be available on x86.

@mitu Thank you for this answer.

As far as I understand, FS-UAE - which is a fantastic emulator I use on my Mac - needs extra .fsuae config files for every single game to run them from Emulationstation.

Since I try to keep my collections synchronized between the Raspberry and the PC, I will then wait for the Libretro team to fix the issue on lr-PUAE (or for an Amiberry x86 version, which would be the best solution in my case, but, unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be on the pipe).

@mitu confirm again this issue at today..........

Yesterday i have tryed to compile lr-puae but it's fail.

Need to write all story.

Recently i have received in gift a, i don't call if i can call a NUC, a Asus WM40B.
I have installed UBUNTU 22.04.1 and also i have installed all retropie-setup basically core and package.

Apparently all works whitout any issue but last night i have tryed to compile LR-PUAE and it's fail....... the retropie-setup let me in to check the log and in the log it's appears a very similar errors reported here by @yserra

It's fixable ? It's exist an alternative ?

And Damn... it's my MiniPC can call a Intel NUC ? Lol :)

P.S. I have also a similar issue when try to compiling lr-mame........ here after about 30 minutes i see Terminal apparently crash and it's closing himself but it's a totally different story...... if need i try to open another dedicated thread.

Upstream project will fix their build on newer distros with a recent glibc, you'll have to wait until they do so to use lr-puae. Use an older Ubuntu LTS version or one of the other Amiga emulators available (lr-puae-2021, fs-uae) in the mean time.

P.S. I have also a similar issue when try to compiling lr-mame.

You're probably low on RAM - on an 64bit PC I thin you need at least 8Gb (if not more) to compile current MAME.

mmmm.. using a old version of lts it's not best idea for me. For absurd i have installed OS recently on this miniPC :)
Try to consider fs-aue but reading this guide quickly:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/18409/guide-getting-emulationstation-to-work-with-fs-uae
Need to re-read whit more accurancy and know if it's on my knowledge :)

mmmm also here.... my actually miniPC as only 4GB of ram DDR3. i can limit the usage of build in some mode (problably on future i can't build future version or update thru retropie-setup but but it's better than nothing) ?
