Description Thomas Huth 2026-01-20 12:54:53 UTC
For compiling your own cores for the retroarch frontend, there should be a "libretro.h" header available that describes the API for the cores. However, this header does not seem to be available on Fedora (other distros like Debian seem to ship it). So I'd like to request include the libretro.h header in the retroarch package. Thanks!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf provides *libretro.h

Actual Results:
No matches found.

Expected Results:
"dnf provides" should indicate a package that provides the libretro.h header.
