I'm looking for help to compile this:
https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox-emulationstation

However, there are some dependencies missing:

CMake Warning (dev) at /usr/share/cmake-3.22/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:438 (message):
  The package name passed to `find_package_handle_standard_args` (SDLMIXER)
  does not match the name of the calling package (SDL2MIXER).  This can lead
  to problems in calling code that expects `find_package` result variables
  (e.g., `_FOUND`) to follow a certain pattern.

This warning is for project developers.  Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

Do you have experience in compiling things on Linux?
I like Recalbox a lot more than the other EmulationStation that runs on Raspberry Pi/PC and others (that one I can compile following the instructions but Recalbox didn't work because of some missing dependencies.)

I've been willing to run Recalbox on Ubuntu desktop for a while.

• It run successfully inside VirtualBox, inside Gnome Boxes it did not work (but I didn't troubleshoot it well) but it ran bit too choppy for me to enjoy.
• Compiling it didn't work well either; I needed to download so many runtimes and things that it completely defeated the purpose of it.

And I'd like to know;
Is there an AppImage, Docker container, Flatpak or Snap of Recalbox which I can run inside a Linux Distrubution?
Or, How can I make an appimage of the Recalbox so I can run it on Linux desktop?
(edit)
Or, Can I extract the files from the image and run it with chroot or other suggestion so I can just "install" it in Ubuntu ?

@paradadf That worked now
Thanks again.
I'll try to find out "why it didn't work before". I think I made something wrong.

Hello

First and foremost I'd like to thank the Recalbox team for the excellent work. It's my favorite forks of Emulationstation:
I run it on my PC (x86 with a USB boot drive) and on my Raspberry Pi Zero GPiCase

I am new here and I use the following setup:

• Retroflag GPi Case;
• Raspberry Pi Zero W
• Recalbox 6.1.1 Dragonblaze;

Everything works smoothly except!

Within SNES emulator, the buttons are swapped again.
In the Xbox game pad the button layout is as it shows:

As well as on the Logitech:

X Y A B
Therefore, it's right that the Super Nintendo emulator swap the buttons X and Y and A and B.
However, on the Retroflag GPi CASE:

• On the Interface, the button scheme / layout is working perfectly
• On the SNES Emulator however it's being "re-swapped" the button A is being mapped to the "south button" B to the "east button", X to the "west button" and Y to the "north button"
• (Or in other words, A and B are swapped and X and Y are swapped)

Is there a way to fix this so the buttons match the location of the buttons?
I haven't yet searched for a solution in the configuration files as I believe someone else has already figured out where is the SNES config file and made the necessary adjustments.

What I have done and did not work was:

• Re-map the buttons manually on the menu;
• Attempt to re-map the buttons for this emulator only;
  (It was taking so long I stopped trying)

I'd be very glad if someone could help me.

Thanks again,
Luigi.
