Looks like a compiler issue, I'll look into it.

Also, i wrote the syntax incorrectly (-disable --neon) should be --disable-neon
[edit] did you have correct syntax for --disable-neon ? - if not, perhaps its trying to cross-compile ?

Yes, and added --disable-dynamic to correct the error Error: Dynamic loading of libretro is enabled, but your platform does not appear to have dlopen(), use --disable-dynamic or --with-libretro="-lretro".

Ok, do some googling and see what you come up with. I'll get back on this monday. Perhaps I'll even get a chance to fetch the original image on some stable internet and flash it to a SD card. Are you doing this on KDE Neon or another image ?

I am doing it on KDE Neon.

I realised you can install RetroArch directly using the built in Software Center in the Games category, and I was able update to update it to the latest nightly build, but I have not found a way to install cores yet.

Yea, sure, you can install using apt get and install all the cores too - but its just going to be software rendered, so there is no point.
You need to compile it with the correct flags to get acceleration. If you want to confirm this, you can install the lastest stable build with all cores by adding the ppa:

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libretro/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install retroarch libretro-*
