Thank you very much,

This might be same as issue as mention here: #30, there is fix in oe-core/poky for this (master branch), but I'm not sure if this will be back-ported to kirkstone.

Are you using recent changes for master meta-retro?

[dev-0x7C6]

ok, I'm see cb9ca62ddff4ee0c185a0a3e906696c7ce340b4c

I'll back-port original workaround from other recipe.

Other possible workaround is to switch from "rpm" to "ipk" package backend in local.conf

Thanks for reporting :)

[febs]

Thanks for taking care of this.

Switched to ipk, the process now fails with this:

You may check this for details: https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?id=9916212b4810280108107d94cd2c0cd3e07ae6ed

Briefly: there is a bug in yocto that have problem with files that contains characters like "[", "]" and issue is rpm specific.

[febs]

Yup, unfortunately with ipk I get the above error and actually it doesn't build with ipk too.

[febs]

BTW, considering I am not into N64 emulation, is there a way to just skip that core and its assets?

also, what distro are you using to build the image? I would try to reproduce your environment. Thank you very much for your support.

[dev-0x7C6]

You may want to try 8664cab

considering I am not into N64 emulation, is there a way to just skip that core and its assets?

You can select from core collection by overriding LIBRETRO_TARGET_PLATFORMS. Sadly there is no asset separation per platform / core. I'm installing what libretro provides as whole - it's difficult to track emulator / asset relations.

More details: recipes-core/packagegroups/packagegroup-libretro-cores.bb

also, what distro are you using to build the image? I would try to reproduce your environment

Unfortunately I'm using Gentoo Linux. Sharing my configuration would be painful and probably is not worth it.

Yup, unfortunately with ipk I get the above error and actually it doesn't build with ipk too.

You mean missing -lGL, or original problem.

[febs]

Thanks for your reply.

I meant, while using "package_ipk" (or deb for what is worth) failing for "missing -lGL", despite the libraries are definitely there.

By using "package_rpm" I got the parsing square brackets [ error.

With 8664cab I get the same GL error. BTW, for some reason if I "git pull" the head of master keeps being cb9ca62ddf, same if I clone from scratch. I had to apply the commit manually, or to delete the files triggering the bug.

[dev-0x7C6]

BTW, for some reason if I "git pull" the head of master keeps being cb9ca62ddf

Probably this is because of submodule sub-tree, those by default do not track origin and set specific commit rather than branch (unfortunately this is how it is)

For specific layer you may want to use:
cd layer/meta-retro
git fetch --all
git reset --hard origin/master

Or update to latest (all layers, specific branches are set in .gitmodules)
cd retro-build-env...
git submodule update --remote

This should reset all layers to default state:
cd retro-build-env...
git submodule update --init

With 8664cab I get the same GL error.

I'll try to reproduce, for time being you may want to remove manually this kronos core from: layers/meta-retro/recipes-packagegroups/groups/packagegroup-libretro-saturn.bb. We might see if this is only issue.

[febs]

Removed kronos, it is moving forward!

I can provide the Dockerfile I am using if that might be helpful in reproducing the issue.

[febs]

Removing kronos allowed the process to finish and build retro-image-full-raspberrypi4-20220908085816.rootfs.wic.bz2

!

[dev-0x7C6]

Ok, I'll try to fix it soon.
