I have succefully built Kodi retroplayer 17a2 + game.libretro and gotten genplus/fba to work. Looks really good I must say Smile

But when I try to build peripheral.joystick using a Arch Linux PKGBUILD I put together, I get the following error;
Code:

Anyone got any ideas?

gcc6 enables c++11 by default, which probably didn't happen before. c++11 implies among other things no implicit cast from int to an enum -> you need to cast that the int to the enum type explicitly.

Code:
primitive = ADDON::DriverPrimitive(static_cast<JOYSTICK_DRIVER_PRIMITIVE>(atoi(strPrimitive.c_str()));

and no cookie to garbear for relying on implicit casts.

I added the cast, but it still errors in the same place.

ok, got a bit further now.

Seems like the retroplayer branch and #aaa7bfcee10 is missing the following piece of code:
Code:
+   /*!
+    * \brief Construct a driver primitive representing a button
+    */
+    DriverPrimitive(unsigned int buttonIndex) :
+      m_type(JOYSTICK_DRIVER_PRIMITIVE_TYPE_BUTTON),
+      m_driverIndex(buttonIndex),
+      m_hatDirection(JOYSTICK_DRIVER_HAT_UNKNOWN),
+      m_semiAxisDirection(JOYSTICK_DRIVER_SEMIAXIS_UNKNOWN)
+    {
+    }
+

Note that this piece of code exist upstream in Kodi master so it is a bit strange it is missing from the retroplayer branch. Maybe something went wrong when the retroplayer branch was rebase/merged onto the master branch(?).

Anyhow after patching in this code I get peripheral.joystick to at least build, but this may not be the whole story.


When I try to setup controllers in Kodi I get the following message:
Joystick support not found
Controller configuration is disabled. Install the proper joystick support add-on.

Looking in the log I find the following messages:
Code:
16:26:35 T:140103278762048   DEBUG: Add-on bus: Registering add-on peripheral.joystick
16:26:35 T:140103278762048   DEBUG: PERIPHERAL - CreateAddon - creating peripheral add-on instance 'Joystick Support'
16:26:35 T:140103278762048   DEBUG: ADDON: Dll Initializing - Joystick Support
16:26:35 T:140103278762048   DEBUG: SECTION:LoadDLL(/usr/lib/kodi/addons/peripheral.joystick/peripheral.joystick.so.1.1.0)
16:26:35 T:140103278762048   DEBUG: Loading: /usr/lib/kodi/addons/peripheral.joystick/peripheral.joystick.so.1.1.0

So more stuff is missing, I guess...

Is peripheral.joystick master branch suppose to work with retroplayer or is there a special branch I have to use?

Answering my own question:

Yes, there is a separate branch and its called 'retroplayer'. DUH

Everything seems to build and work here now.

Sorry I didn't see this two days ago, the forum doesn't notify me of new threads, only replies to existing threads. Feel free to open an issue on github, I'll see that within seconds Smile

RetroPlayer includes the rumble support from PR9663. PR9663 breaks ABI by adding rumble support, so both PR9663 and RetroPlayer need to be built against the 'retroplayer' peripheral.joystick branch.

Glad you figured this out, if you have any other questions post them here.
