Could not successfully build retroarch - RetroArch - frontend to the libretro emulator cores - required by all lr-* emulators (/home/runner/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/retroarch/retroarch not found).

vc_egl shouldn't be even attempted to be built on non-raspberry pi systems. this is probably a mistake in the configuration parameters.

We don't set any configuration parameters for OpenVG, compilation is set to auto in the configure scripts. I don't think this is a RetroPie build issue, you may want to open this upstream or explicitely disable the openvg support in your scripts.

The workarround it's use isPlatform on all tegra devices params+=(--disable-videocore --disable-vg) in retroarch.sh script .
It's broken by retroarch for a long time and i'm compile fine with force these flags

Unless you report it upstream, the issue is not going to be fixed as is.

@theofficialgman try mrcmunir/RetroArch@0731ef8
If it's prevent compile vc_egl headers without pass disabled flags.

The CI I linked doesn't have device-tree available (as its a QEMU emulated chroot), so its just using the fallback platform provided here https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/system.sh#L490 not any of the tegra specific flags.

I don't think that is the correct course of action. You should go through the logs and determine what is pulling in compilation of that file even when when OPEN_VG gets disabled from auto https://github.com/cobalt2727/L4T-Megascript/actions/runs/8923983609/job/24509379849#step:3:2763

@theofficialgman Probably found cause fail retroarch bcm_host_init fuction are found.
