Linux Retroplayer build from scratch
#1
Should I be able to build Kodi master nightly, then all add-ons, add the appropriate games entry in advancedsettings and have everything work? When I do this the peripheral drivers are missing.

Are you building the peripheral.joystick add-on?

Yes, I did, but he driver list in the GUI is blank.

However you are confirming that I should be able to...

Build Kodi from master, build all add-ons to get the retroplayer cores, then separately compile the peripheral.joystick add-on and copy it over to Kodi add-ons, and it should work? If yes, then I'll keep troubleshooting what I'm doing wrong.

Does it matter that I was running stable 17.x from the Ubuntu repo before and compiled and ran over top of that installation?

By the way thank you for all the hard work! I've been excited and waiting for this since you first talked about it way back when! Awesome it's getting close!!!

I assume you're creating a cmake build folder called "build". Kodi only copies add-ons to build/addons/ if the add-ons appear in a manifest. peripheral.joystick wouldn't be copied, so instead I symlink build/addons/ to addons/ and install peripheral.joystick there.
