Installing core library fails

[scottCheezem]

from default rasbian install with user name pi, I can clone the repo to my home directory with gcc installed.
I then run sudo ./build.sh which gives every indication of completing successfully.
then I run sudo ./install.sh

************************************ Installing core library make: *** /home/pi/mupen64plus/ricrpi/mupen64plus-core/projects/unix: No such file or directory. Stop.

I had this same problem. What happens when you run ./build.sh again?

On my system, If I ran build.sh again, it spit out the "Setup Information", up until the location of SDL. By throwing some "echos" into the script, I verified that the script was dying around line 335, where the script is looking for the "gpu_mem" directive in the /boot/config.txt file. I did not have this in my config file. Once I added "gpu_mem=64", as suggested here, the script is able to move on, and actually download and (attempt to) build the actual mupen64-core.

So perhaps better error reporting is needed... I can hack something up quickly and make a pull request.

It's probably bad form to monkey with a user's /boot/config.txt file, but if the directive is not present, can "gpu_mem=64" be safely added, since it is the default? Or perhaps the script should try to discover the GPU mem a different way?

I tried adding the gpu_mem=64 to my /boot/config.txt that seems to get the build going and after I can run the install.sh with root priv without errors (that I noticed). I may have messed something up along the way though as now when I try to run the emulator I get Core Warning: No video plugin attached. There will be no video output. still investigating, but thanks for the tip
