can't install descent (dxx-rebirth)

[mayner]

hi,

i’ve tried to install dxx-rebirth with the retropie-setup script. after all is done and i’m back in the setup menu and want to go back to emulation station there is these message:

`Could not successfully build DXX-Rebirth (Descent & Descent 2) build from source (/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/dxx-rebirth/d1x-rebirth/d1x-rebirth not found).

in an other thread a user could fix the problem after updating retropie, but this doesnÄt work for my. i had installed retropie 3.3 and updated yesterday to the current version (first the setup script, after that retropie).

whats wrong with dxx-rebirth?

without the build log impossible to say (it’s in the logs/ folder)

[petrockblog]

please upload it somewhere or use pastebin.com or similar and I’ll take a look.

[mayner]

ok here is the log. i could not upload it on pastebin because of spam (??) in the log.

[petrockblog]

Where is the log ? It was attached but then it went – did you remove it ? (unless somehow I accidentally clicked delete). Please use an external site for the log – did you uncompress before pasting into pastebin etc ?

[herbfargus]

Even if pastebin says its spam you can enter a captcha to allow it. But you have to extract it to a text file first with 7zip or equivalent and then copy the text over manually into pastebin.

i though i’d attached the log. didn’t work.

here is the link: http://pastebin.com/K3pQ4Gdx

missing dependency – install libraspberrypi-dev and it should build.

[petrockblog]

retropie-setup script has been updated, so you can update and try again

[mayner]

libraspberrypi-dev is installed, no update available.

i’ve updated the setup script and tried again, but still doesn’t work.

here is the new log – if you need it: http://pastebin.com/zz7rWZVA

no idea?

[petrockblog]

I’m not sure. If you create an image of your sdcard and share it with me via google drive or something I can take a look (buzz [at] exotica.org.uk)

[petrockblog]

please make sure your system is up to date also – sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

are you running wheezy or jessie ?

[mayner]

i’ve made an upgrade, but still the same.

can i install it without the setup script and link it to emulation station manually?

[petrockblog]

you can try – but you may have the same problem – I think something is wrong with your development headers or something related. Another route would be to start with our image and try building it on there as that should work. Or provide me with an image of your card so I can check it.

[petrockblog]

Sorry – I can actually confirm the issue – maybe I broke it with some recent changes will check and get back to you. Actually, I think it could be due to upstream changes…

[petrockblog]

It’s to do with upstream changes. I didn’t think about that before, as I had built it only a few days ago. I am debugging now, to report the problem to the developers, and then I will temporarily switch our module to build a version before it stopped working.

[petrockblog]

ok. I have debugged it and opened a bug report and updated the retropie-setup script to use an older revision. should build if you update retropie-setup firt

[mayner]

Ok, i’ll test it when i’m a home.

just because its interesting: is there a guide or so how i can create a new point in the emulation station menu to open programs i’ve installed without the setup-script?

[mayner]

ok this works. thanks for your help.
