      Still got the issue with fba-next, it keeps throwing me error but not same location each time... Start to wonder if it's not an overclock issue or something (my rpi2 is overclocked to the pi2 setting from raspi-config).

      Anyhow I understand you have no time to investigate this further. I'll stick to the "update from binary" never got trouble with that one. If you could just please confirm how often you update those binaries that would be great? thanks again.

        Disable overclocking and test - could be. I find the raspi-config overclock for rpi2 is unstable (I reduce sdram/core to 450)

        There is no set period for updating binaries. Usually when there is reason to. I can update lr-fba-next if that would be useful.

          Will try that. For the sake of being as close as your setup, identical in fact, do you mind sharing your overclock parameters please? I got that actually in my /boot/config.txt:

          gpu_mem_256=128
          gpu_mem_512=256
          gpu_mem_1024=256

          arm_freq=1000
          core_freq=500
          sdram_freq=500
          over_voltage=2

          Really appreciate the help and lightning-fast support. thanks.

            On the rpi2 I have running currently I have

            arm_freq=1000
            core_freq=400
            sdram_freq=400
            over_voltage=2

              Hardware issues are caused by the power adapter not "giving" enough amps to your Pi. What power adapter do U use?

                I'm using that: https://www.amazon.fr/Alimentation-Chargeur-secteur-Adaptateur-switcher/dp/B00P0XXYJG

                Tbh I never had a single issue with my rpi2 and I got it since the very first day of release. I already built more "complex" stuff like mame2003 or even mame2010 (just to have a look) without any issues.

                Despite the lower overclock setting, build keeps from failing at some point... I'll just wait patiently till the binary gets updated (with the fix for Dragon Blaze).

                thanks.

                  @nemo93 try a fresh install to see if that helps.

                    500MB free seems a low amount of disk space to be doing compiles on. I would test with a few GBs free.

                      LOWER overclock setting?!? if you're getting crashes and don't know why, at least take off ALL overclocks first :)

                        Ok Guys... today building went fine \o/ I trust the root cause was overheating. In fact we suffered from an impressive heatwave over there and like me my pi didn't enjoy it!!! I do confirm: I've changed nothing compare to yesterday (despite my low disk space, power plug and "lower" overclock settings :p)

                        I feel better now first because the air temperature is way more acceptable for a human being (and for the pi). Second because my setup is not at fault and I know that I got an up to date and proper raspbian version. All good news. Thanks a lot for the support and sorry for that post, useless in fact :(
