Please make sure you did read the Readme.md of the corresponding addon:
https://github.com/kodi-game/game.libretro.nestopia

Under the Windows section there's explicitly stated that you need to install MinGW and add it to your path.
Seems you missed this one.

Good find! I came from garbears xbmc repo installation instructions which only mentioned "To build game add-ons, follow the building in-tree instructions from the game.libretro readme" which in this case doesnt mention that mingw path has to be set on win. Ill see if i can add that to the instructions there.

Concerning the PkgConfig problem see my comment in https://github.com/kodi-game/peripheral....f4e36ede60 as to why it happens.

@a1rwolf: It doesn't look like this was tested on win32 because we don't support pkg-config there. The commit linked above even says "Only linux side is handled ATM".

Ah your the one who build this, kudos for that, im having a hard time seeing through it

Anyways.
So, i added the mingw path to the installation which is already there (came with kodis msys) and nestopia builds now. Can you provide a hint what has to be changed that cmake uses this automatically?

After that i tried the joystick lib again and came a bit further (http://pastebin.com/A0w1awhP):
Despite your sayings it seems to use the pkg-config from the mingw folder now.

Code:

4>  -- Found PkgConfig: D:/Dev/xbmc_dev/retroplayer/project/BuildDependencies/msys/mingw/bin/pkg-config.exe (found version "0.28")

Now it complains about missing sdl and some linux includes (syslog.h missing is breaking it), so i guess it really comes down that this part has not yet been adapted for the win32 buildsystem.

Code:

4>D:\Dev\xbmc_dev\retroplayer\project\cmake\addons\build\peripheral.joystick\src\log\LogSyslog.cpp(24): fatal error C1083: Datei (Include) kann nicht geöffnet werden: "syslog.h": No such file or directory [D:\Dev\xbmc_dev\retroplayer\project\cmake\addons\build\peripheral.joystick-prefix\src\peripheral.joystick-build\peripheral.joystick.vcxproj]

I searched the mingw folder but it doesnt seem to include a syslog.h - whats the usual workaround for this on win?

@Montellese: What are the chances you can have look at this until garbear comes back in two month?

Thanks so far for your help!
