Can't install Retropie with latest Odroid image

[dagamboa]

Retropie using latest 6.0 image for Odroid C2 fails to build, it seems that there are missing packages that can't be installed

I read that it should build with previous versions of Dietpi, here is the log

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.0/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:61 (message):
The C compiler "/usr/bin/cc" is not able to compile a simple test program.

Please verify following is installed:

• apt-get install build-essential automake make cmake

I cant see any mention of build-essential in the log, so the RetroPie script must assume is already installed. In DietPi its not pre-installed (as not needed by majority of users, additional package status, uses up additional space). Installed on demand with dietpi-software titles automatically.

NB: Flagging as non-DietPi issue, however, we'll assist where we can.

I previously installed build-essential, installed the other packages and tried again with same results

Notes: Could require Debian Stretch for Odroid C2?

Wiki states Ubuntu image required: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Odroid-C1-C2#download-ubuntu-image-for-odroid

Odroid C2 Stretch:

E: Unable to locate package mali-fbdev

The only related packages I can find are in buster:
https://packages.debian.org/buster/mali-t62x-fbdev-driver

This may work?
http://deb.odroid.in/c2/pool/main/m/mali-fbdev/

[Fourdee]

wget http://deb.odroid.in/c2/pool/main/m/mali-fbdev/mali-fbdev_20161003-r6p1-ee42997-15_arm64.deb -O package.deb
dpkg -i package.deb
rm package.deb

Appears mali450-odroid is the same package:

Tried following, failed lvl10 init SDL

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup.git
cd RetroPie-Setup

#Odroid C2: Replace mali-fbdev depends with mali450-odroid used in meveric's repo

./retropie_setup.sh

I'll mark this as closed due to the following:

• RetroPie Wiki specifies Ubuntu image must be used.
• Seems incompatible with Debian Stretch + Meveric's repo currently.
• Outside our support range.

[dagamboa]

Well I was expecting that, would be possible that you test if it works with the Dietpi Image for Rock64? I'm planning to replace the C2 with that board

If Retropie complains about the missing mali-fbdev package: You probably don't need it, many systems already have the mali files installed.

sudo find /usr/lib/ -name "libMali.so"
sudo find /usr/lib/ -name "libGL*"

If these commands find any files, you don't need the package. To install Retropie anyway, an easy solution is to create and install an empty mali-fbdev dummy package to satisfy the Retropie installer:

sudo apt-get install checkinstall
cd ~
sudo checkinstall -y --pkgname mali-fbdev --pkgversion=3.0.0 touch dummy.txt

This will create and install a dummy 'mali-fbdev' package with just an empty text file in it. You can remove it later with dpkg after Retropie has installed.
