Source Based: Configuring ANY emulator fails

[nilsbyte]

Tested with a fresh raspbian image, upgraded and updated.

Following selection in 'Source-based INSTALLATION':

DEselected:

100 AdvMame 102 Macintosh emulator 104 Amstrad CPC emulator 107 Duke3D Port 115 Apple 2 emulator Linapple 116 MAME emulator MAME4All-Pi 120 FBA emulator PiFBA 200 Cave Story LibretroCore 201 Doom LibretroCore 202 FBA LibretroCore 205 MAME LibretroCore

All OTHER packages selected.

Looks like the 'configuring' part of each emulator wants to add the system to ES (is that correct?) when its not yet installed. How to solve this? Install ES as first component, no matter which packages were chosen by the user?

I could go on but i think thats unneccessary as the error is kind of identical.

I have committed a fix for this above. Please try with the latest script.

[petrockblog]

This has also been addressed in a recent commit for ESConfigEdit, see https://github.com/petrockblog/ESConfigEdit/commit/1dbdd683621d3ede1b1c9c6690309a615ee7fcb0. This issue should be gone now.

[nilsbyte]

How recent? I cloned the script yesterday 08-07-14 at 8 PM. Your commit seems to be older.

[joolswills]

his fix should have sorted it (mine shouldn't be needed). However since we have both, please try again and let us know how you get on. thanks.

@petrockblog 's commit may have been pushed after the time it was made (it uses the time the commit was made locally, not what time it was pushed to github)

[nilsbyte]

Looks like it works now, thanks!
