Bentley A few thoughts: 1. It is using -std=gnu11, so we need a COMPILER=base-clang ports-gcc line otherwise it will fail on base-gcc archs. 2. There is a -Werror in Makefile and a hardcoded -O2 in libretro/Makefile that are worth removing. 3. When I ran `make port-lib-depends-check`, it said LIB_DEPENDS devel/sdl2 not needed for emulators/sameboy,-libretro ? Changing LIB_DEPENDS to LIB_DEPENDS-main makes the warning go away. ~Brian
