This is on the raspberry pi 2 b

Do you have the lib freetype on your raspberry ?

 Could NOT find Freetype (missing: FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIRS)

Feb 10 '15 22:02 remeh

For some reason the RPi 2 FreeType package changed around the include directory. Try running with

cmake . -DFREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIRS=/usr/include/freetype/

(this is what RetroPie does)

After a lot of messing around it seems to be working now :) THNX. What is the fun when you dont have some trouble :)

Feb 11 '15 21:02 LodeVlaeminck

cmake . -DFREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIRS=/usr/include/freetype/ returns "/usr/include/freetype/ does not exist" what am I doing wrong here?

Got the same problem like binaryangel0100

I found it! It works!

cmake . -DFREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIRS=/usr/include/freetype/ -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++-4.7

Then run

make

Feb 13 '15 00:02 DZHOYER

Excuse me, typo there.

cmake . -DFREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIRS=/usr/include/freetype2/ -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++-4.7

Notice the "2" after "/freetype"

Then run

make

Feb 13 '15 12:02 DZHOYER

Not for me!

Feb 13 '15 13:02 binaryangel0100

@binaryangel0100 May I see what command you ran before running "make"?

Feb 13 '15 14:02 DZHOYER

As stated in your solution

Feb 13 '15 15:02 binaryangel0100

Just

sudo rm -r /Emulationstation

and start from cloning the git repo and it should work

Feb 13 '15 17:02 LodeVlaeminck

Yes! This fixed it compiling now! Currently at 12% thank you so much!

Feb 13 '15 22:02 binaryangel0100

@binaryangel0100 Its working dude, it just cant start because you need to run it from a desktop environment, try emulationstation -h and see what result you get.

Feb 13 '15 22:02 PrawnCocktail

No i've ran it in the GUI and nothing happens and I mean nothing

Feb 13 '15 23:02 binaryangel0100

What was the output of emulationstation -h ?

Feb 13 '15 23:02 PrawnCocktail

help... but didn't help me enough to run ES

Feb 13 '15 23:02 binaryangel0100

what desktop environment are you running?

Feb 13 '15 23:02 PrawnCocktail

raspian

Feb 13 '15 23:02 binaryangel0100

does it boot into command line or directly to desktop? because the screen shots are obviously from command line.

Feb 13 '15 23:02 PrawnCocktail

command line

Feb 13 '15 23:02 binaryangel0100

in order for emulation station to start you have to boot into desktop and then run emulation station from a terminal window.

Feb 13 '15 23:02 PrawnCocktail

facepalm ONE HOUR AGO I SAID "No i've ran it in the GUI and nothing happens and I mean nothing" and you don't need to run it in the GUI at all once you type emulationstation it then kicks you into ES anyway or so every youtube Video leads me to believe

Feb 14 '15 00:02 binaryangel0100

video link?

Feb 14 '15 00:02 binaryangel0100

are you using retropie?

Feb 14 '15 00:02 PrawnCocktail

no I'm using the stand alone version

Feb 14 '15 00:02 binaryangel0100

just to prove my point that terminal is still terminal regardless of interface https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0P7l1XOwwdIU0I2VDZ5NHpPbTQ/view?usp=sharing
