Now I do have sdl on the system so unsure as to why It is not being found, any ideas here as I am currently stumped.

Thanks

Moved from Portage & Programming to Unsupported Software.

Can you post /var/tmp/portage/games-emulation/retroarch-1.20.0/work/RetroArch-1.20.0/config.log with wgetpaste?

[braz2kuk]

It seems the file /var/tmp/portage/games-emulation/retroarch-1.20.0/work/RetroArch-1.20.0/config.log does not exist as it says 'no such file found'

[NeddySeagoon]

The configure.log is useless. Even when retroarch-1.20.0 builds there is almost nothing in it.

I emerged it to replicate the failure ... it did.

Code: Select all

[ebuild  N     ] games-emulation/retroarch-1.20.0::crossdev  USE="X alsa cdrom drm egl ffmpeg flac gles2 network opengl opengl_core sdl ssl truetype usb v4l vulkan xv zlib -cg -dbus -gles3 -gles3_1 -gles3_2 -jack -kms -libass -libcaca -openal -osmesa -parport (-pulseaudio) -qt5 -sdl2 -sixel (-systemd) -tinyalsa (-udev) -wayland -xinerama -xrandr" CPU_FLAGS_X86="sse2" 0 KiB

Then I ran

Code: Select all

./configure

by hand which worked and produced

Code: Select all

Checking presence of package sdl2 >= 2.0.0 ... 2.30.11
Checking presence of package Qt6Core >= 6.2 ... 6.8.2
Checking presence of package Qt6Gui >= 6.2 ... 6.8.2

Notice that it did not mind

Code: Select all

Checking presence of package sdl >= 1.2.10 ... no

Then

Code: Select all

make -j32

built it.

I used ./retroarch to run it (as root, naughty, naughty) from the build location as I didn't want to spray files all over my Gentoo install.

With

Code: Select all

USE="-sdl sdl2" emerge -1av retroarch

it goes further. It may actually work but I get

Code: Select all

Error: HID is disabled and forced to build with libusb support.

That may just be my static /dev install though.

sdl is just a wrapper around sdl2 these days, so sdl2 may be good enough.
