Can anyone help me compile EmulationStation independently?

[ghost]

I would like to compile EmulationStation independently, without installing RetroPie or Recalbox.

In the official page of EmulationStation there is a guide to do it, I followed the instructions and it does not work.

I leave the link to the independent installation guide: https://emulationstation.org/gettingstarted.html#install_rpi_standalone

I use Raspbian Stretch Lite 9 (without desktop), which can be downloaded at the following link: https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/

If you need more information or want to know what are the errors I had, please let me know by the comments. If you can help me, I thank you very much!!

Yes please, the build logs would be essential to even start helping you. :-)

[ghost]

Many thanks friend!!.

I will install Raspbian on my SD card.

[ghost]

Do I use this guide to install EmulationStation? Or use another one?

https://emulationstation.org/gettingstarted.html#install_rpi_standalone

[BuXY]

Try that official guide and post the results. I have no better idea at the moment.

[ghost]

Ok, I will do it.

What version of SDL2 should I compile?

In the EmulationStation guide it mentions version 2.0.1 but version 2.0.8 (stable) is available.

Here I leave my installation log of EmulationStation.

Very nice log indeed. :)

Some remarks:

• Why do you delete the SDL sources after compiling? You should leave it until everything works as intended.
• Maybe try the SDL configure without any additional parameters, like simply $ ./configure
• Why do you check out the unstable branch? Try some release / stable branches, and advance if everything works fine and you surely need the additional features/fixes.
• Where do you start the emulationstation from? Over SSH or the Pi USB/Bluetooth keyboard + HDMI? The first one will not work.

[ghost]

1) I eliminate the sources because the guide indicates that it does. 2) I will try to do only with the parameter ./configure 3) I wrote: git checkout unstable because the instructions indicate it, but I will discard it. 4) I try to start EmulationStation through the command line via HDMI, I not use SSH.

Is there anything else you need to know?

[ghost]

Do I try to compile everything again (changing the commands and parameters) and send the record to you? :-)

[BuXY]

Everything sounds great as you wrote. :)

Mind that if you stick to your current existing git working copy, it will stay in the unstable branch, so double check that before building. Although everything went fine in your first build, the executable does not find a video device, and that puzzles me. (If you happen to use Midnight Commander to help your work, exit it before trying to launch emulationstation.) Make sure you launch the newly compiled binary, using $ which emulationstation, or $ ./emulationstation

For the other hand: you have linked the guide 2 times already.

• The links point to a completely different url that the written text indicates. Please fix them if possible.
• The steps in that guide are quite different than what you have followed. For example, it does not mention compiling SDL at all, it uses the libsdl2-dev package.

Frankly, i hope somebody else will also get a peek on these results. :)

[ghost]

What is Midnight Commander? I use Raspbian Stretch Lite (No desktop environment). I tried to install SDL2-2.0.8 instead of SDL2-2.0.1 The URLs have been updated.

This is what the guide says . . .

Compile and install SDL2

wget http://libsdl.org/release/SDL2-2.0.1.tar.gz tar xvfz SDL2-2.0.1.tar.gz rm SDL2-2.0.1.tar.gz pushd SDL2-2.0.1 --disable-video-opengl is used to disable the software implementation of desktop OpenGL on the Pi --host= is used to force the Raspberry Pi host. See issue #395 on GitHub for details on why. ./configure --disable-video-opengl --host=arm-raspberry-linux-gnueabihf make sudo make install popd

If you like, you can delete the SDL2-2.0.1 folder now (the library has been installed):

rm -rf SDL2-2.0.1

Is there anything else you need to know?

[BuXY]

Midnight Commander is a file manager. No problem if you don't know or don't use it.

Looks like you are using Aloshi's Emulationstation repository. Good, that's the official. This issue page is for zigurana's fork. The guide you have found is from a completely different third repository - there is no text search match with the lines you quoted.

Get back to Aloshi's repository, and follow the build instructions you find there.

Moreover, follow the link (Aloshi's issue #395) you already quoted, it contains some good ideas how to eliminate the No available video device problem. I would recommend following that thread instead, and if it does not help, google your error messages.

Thanks friend!!

I'll keep it in mind. But I have found a possible solution, when I have time I will try. If I resolve this problem, I will notify you immediately.
