Hello. I am running Opensuse 12.3 64bit.
When I try to compile the front end or retroarch phoenix, I have this error when doing “make”,
./ruby/input/sdl.cpp:8:21: fatal error: SDL/SDL.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated.
What’s the problem plz?
It means you’re missing the development libraries for SDL, which I think is the SDL-devel package on suse.
However, RetroArch-Phoenix is getting deprecated, as most of the functionality has been moved to the built-in interface, RGUI.
Just found it in libSDL-devel package. Thanks.
Maybe I still prefer phoenix on my pc? I don’t know what is the advantage of RGUI though.
Also you may want to update the wiki page in github.
Yeah, I still use Phoenix, too, it just won’t be receiving any further updates.
Once you get the directories and cfgs setup with RGUI, it can provide a much sweeter experience, particularly in a couch+gamepad situation. However, the convenience of accessing all of those options in Phoenix for testing purposes will keep me using it for a long time to come, I imagine.
Dropping Phoenix is a fairly recent development, so the change hasn’t happened at the wiki yet, but yeah, that should probably be added pretty soon.
Input mapping is broken in phoenix (at least for Xinput controllers)
OK. Thanks for all the answers.
So far I only play it on my PC with keyboard. I’ll switch to RGUI later I guess !
RetroArch is a great project !!
