      Hi,

      I would like to know if there is a way for me to automate the source-installation/building of a long list of packages.

      Is there a command that can be issued to a script that will build a queue/list of packages?

        sudo ./retropie_packages <NAME OR ID/PACKAGE>
        

        which could be used in a loop

        eg

        for pkg in lr-mame2003 scummvm; do sudo ./retropie_packages.sh $pkg; done
        

        or building all # ids from 200 to 210 (note ids are not static and change when new modules are added/removed)

        for pkg in {200..210}; do sudo ./retropie_packages.sh $pkg; done
        

        run retropie_packages with no parameters for a list of support modules and their functions.
