Compiling crashes with missing retro_endianness.h, please add build instructions.

[edo9k]

Compilation using make fails with this error:

<command-line>: fatal error: retro_endianness.h: Arquivo ou diretório inexistente

I think that header file comes from libretro-common, I tried to install those headers, but no luck there (I don't have much familiarity with C++ though).

I saw there are a bunch of directories inside vendor, but those are all empty. I was guessing running make or make all would download all those dependencies, compile them and put them in the right places. But it just didn't work for me.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there some wiki or readme file where this compiling process is discussed?

Here's the full compile command make generated:

It worked. Thanks a lot.
