Reply To: Easiest way to pull unstable branch of ES into existing RetroPie?

I reproduced similar errors trying to build emulation station outside of the retropie setup script:

So following the instructions here:
http://www.emulationstation.org/gettingstarted.html#install_rpi_standalone

I skipped down to this part:

git clone https://github.com/Aloshi/EmulationStation
cd EmulationStation
git checkout unstable
cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++-4.7 .

And I did try adding -DFREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIRS=/usr/include/freetype2/ before the “.” as suggested in the comments.

But the cmake line always gives similar errors to the above log. I did verify that all the dependencies were installed though I didn’t do the “Compile and install SDL2” part (which I’m assuming was already set up as part of my recent retropie image).
