Port: SNES Mini

[advokaten]

Tried to compile this for my SNES Mini and I can't get it to work.

I believe the SNES Mini is missing a bunch of libraries. I think they need to be in the core when compiling, for it to work...

RetroArch keeps saying "No core loaded", trying to load it.

Thank you.

Thanks! How did you try to build it? We could try to update the Makefile to the latest libretro ones.

On a RPi3 running Raspbian, I cd'd into chailove and did make...

[RobLoach]

On the SNES Mini you did this? What error did you get?

Trying to load the compiled .so file in RetroArch, it just won't load.

I think the SNES Mini is missing libraries (or something) to run the ChaiLove core.

We tried adding the Freetype library to the makefile, but Retroarch still says "No core loaded" when trying to load the core.

We likely need to update the latest Makefile setup in fceum: https://github.com/libretro/libretro-fceumm

I'm sorry, I don't see how that would solve the issue... Could you elaborate a bit more, please...? Thanks

[RobLoach]

There's likely a few things missing from this Makefile that prevent it from being properly ported to SNES Mini. Unsure what exactly. Could you provide the logs you get when you attempt a compile?

To run it on retroarch-clover, he mentioned he needed....

#!/bin/sh
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$rootfs/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

exec retroarch-clover chailove "$@"

Make sure to update GCC to >=5.2.... Also, arm compiled is over at: https://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/armhf/latest/
