[SOLVED] Building Mupen64Plus yourself for Retropie?

Hi I'm trying to sneak in joystick controls into mupen64plus disguised as mouse inputs. I just had a look at the source code and I think I litterally need to change one hardcoded number to solve my last issue...

So here's the question: How to compile the thing yourself? Under linux on pc? On the Pi itself? Any tutorials?

I'm running Retropie on my GBZ.

Thanks a bunch!

Ok, got it!

Here's how you do it:

- Fork the mupen64plus repository on github. (There's multiple sub repos, I needed input-sdl)
- Do your changes to the repo
- On your pi, edit retropie-setup/scriptmodules/emulators/mupen64plus.sh
- In the first few lines, search for "mupen64plus input-sdl"
- Replace by "<your_github_name> input-sdl"
- Start emulationstation and go to Retropie-Config
- 'manage packages'
- 'main packages'
- 'update by source'
- build takes around 10 minutes
