lr-ppsspp does not build on ODROID - libavformat/avformat.h: No such file or directory

[kaeltis]

Trying to build lr-ppsspp (or ppsspp) on ODROID XU4 with Ubuntu 16.04.3 results in an error:

../Core/HLE/sceAtrac.cpp:94:34: fatal error: libavformat/avformat.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
Makefile:339: recipe for target '../Core/HLE/sceAtrac.o' failed
make: *** [../Core/HLE/sceAtrac.o] Error 1

Apparently this issue existed for i486 as well and was fixed there some time ago: https://github.com/libretro-mirrors/libretro-ppsspp/issues/73

So I went down this rabbit hole a little while ago: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/15375/adventures-with-odroid-xu4-and-retropie

I concluded that if you install libavformat-dev and libswscale-dev (which will be the next error you hit if you just installed libavformat-dev to satisfy the above issue), when you build, you will get a build of lr-ppsspp that works except all ffmpeg decoding would be broken. So taking a look at the thread I posted above might be helpful in figuring out what needs to be done here.

it definitely built before, so I will look into it. Not sure I want to use the system ffmpeg headers, as we don't on other platforms (and there is a risk of a mismatch happening with future versions). I will check when I have a chance.

The current lr-ppsspp repo is probably going to become obsolete soon - there's a PR on the upstream project to integrate libretro directly.

There are still issues with ppsspp on Pi related to build errors from Wayland/Vulkan, and not setting a fullscreen context. I've suggested potential fixes for some - still waiting for feedback.

Thanks.

I may move temporarily to our fork of the lr-ppsspp then (which we use for the rpi), but of course we should move to the newer libretro ppsspp repo in the future.
