EmulationStation returns an error when I try to
launch it
In such a situation, run
sudo apt-get -y install libsdl1.2-dev
libboost-filesystem-dev libfreeimage-dev libfreetype6-dev
libsdl-mixer1.2-dev ttf-dejavu
.
This will install the required dependencies that the EmulationStation requires to run.
EmulationStation, as well as other games, might require dependencies that have not been
loaded during the install. For example,
libsdl1.2-dev
,
libboost-filesystem-
dev
,
libfreeimage-dev
,
libfreetype6-dev
,
libsdl-mixer1.2-dev
, and
ttf-dejavu
are common libraries that are used in a number of games that might not
have been installed, or need to be updated.
