EmulationStation

[johnodon]

Hi all.  First post here.   I love the product you have put together.  I especially like the changes made to EmulationStation (them music, input mapping, etc.).  I run ES/RA on a Lubuntu 15.10 system and was wondering if the ES that recalbox uses is available to download/install on Linux?  Right now I install ES from their PPA but it does not have all of the additions that the recalbox version has. TIA! John

I think I found my answer:  https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-emulationstation/tree/recalbox-buildroot Now I just need to figure out what to do with it.   John

OK...I have been able to successfully compile Aloshi's ES on Lubuntu 15.10 x64 but the recalbox version is giving me issues (namely SDL errors).  Any guidance would be appreciated! John

I got this going by installing all the requirements listed under the emulationstation github readme...

sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-date-<span class="pl-k">time</span>-dev libboost-locale-dev libfreeimage-dev libfreetype6-dev libeigen3-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libasound2-dev libgl1-mesa-dev build-essential cmake fonts-droid

And these extra couple:

sudo apt-get install libsdl2-mixer-dev libboost1.58-all-dev

Then just follow the rest of the instructions.  Hope this helps!

Thank you for the info Corey.  I am going to run through this now. John
