Can not compile stand alone Emulation Station installation on Raspbian

[g2bb]

Running the latest version of Raspbian trying to install Emulation Station and I keep running into an issue with compiling.

This is what it spits out when I type pi@raspberrypi:~/EmulationStation $ make

Hi! g2bb, I also have this problem, and I can not find a solution, any ideas, friend? I have sent an email to Aloshi, presenting him with this problem and see if he can give us a solution.

I'm on at least one other thread looking for a solution and still nothing... I decided to just install the RetroPie premade img file on a new SD card and start over. Sorry that that doesn't help

Will it be necessary to use another newer compiler ?, for example g++-4.9

[g2bb]

It wasn't necessary to compile for me at all. I just downloaded the RetroPie img file and loaded that on to a new SD card and went from there. If you need the desktop environment there is a way to add it, though I am having an issue with some missing programs. I've put in a help request here if you're interested in following that.

I was able following the instructions for installing on Raspbian on github. I was able to make it work by switching from the instructed g++4.7 to g++5

When I have time I will try, thanks for all, stevenostaw.
