LibreElec Kodi + Lakka RetroArch

hello schmecks,

When you run retroarch command standalone, remember firt to set up LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable for the shell you are using (that means to set it up any time you login back).

(I forgot to mention it before, sorry)

Something like:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/storage/retroarch/lib

Now run the command:

ldd /storage/retroarch/retroarch | grep "not found"

After copy first batch, you could see extra dependencies needed by the libraries you just copied.

I would recommend you to only copy what is not already present on LibreElec, I would prefer native OS libraries.

Another thing you could try, is to specify Lakka image "/usr/lib", in your case I think it is: "/media/root/usr/lib", so it will be something likes:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/media/root/usr/lib

And then try running ldd like:

ldd /storage/retroarch/retroarch | grep "/media"

And whatever cames from the image is what you need to copy.

Hello there,

You could try to copy the binary and needed libraries, maybe it would work, a few point to take in mind:

* Lakka is a branch of LibreElec, so they share the build system and most of the dynamic libraries. That is why just copying the binary works.

* It is systemd who brings down Kodi and up Retroarch, the command is run from favorites.

Sounds easy? sometimes it is, who knows, good luck!

Hello there,

I would recommend you to login through ssh, stop kodi service and run retroarch command using verbose flags, that should give you an idea whats is going on. I think commands involved are around this thread.
