Will not install with RetroPie 3.8 (Linux 4.4.11-v7+) #35

Closed simonster4 closed 8 years ago

simonster4 commented 8 years ago

I have been using this since Christmas, and it was working great, but since updating to RetroPie 3.8 it will not install. There appears to be issues compiling linux headers file.

I first noticed the issue after updating RetroPie from 3.7 to 3.8. I then tryied using the RetroPie 3.8 image from their website, and it wont compile on this either.

Any help would be appreciated, as at the moment I have no controls for my RetroPie machine :-(

Opened the /var/lib/dkms/mk_arcade_joystick_rpi/0.1.4/build/make.log file and found this:

You are missing a dependancy on a header file : timeconst.h. Dunno how retropie ships everything, but you miss a dev lib thay you should be able to install with apt-get

It appears to be related to the kernel update.

When I run the mkjoystick/install.sh, it attempts to install https://www.niksula.hut.fi/~mhiienka/Rpi/linux-headers-4.4.10-v7+_4.4.10-v7+-2_armhf.deb which fails on creating the timeconst file. It used to work before the kernel update and I have confirmed that this is the only thing that can be affecting it. Is there any way to use a different set of linux headers?

dupe of #32 can you close and post further infos there ?
