I don't have mame installed but, I'm getting the same error.

I'm getting the following error now (presumably because I have mame installed): 

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)

Thank you @Lulzon and @ilikenwf for your patches. I was trying to fix the build and was no more able to compile it. Pushing a revision update with the stringfix.patch, at least it builds fine now.

About the resource directory, it should be related to the message "Package contains reference to $srcdir" upon build for the files usr/lib/libpugixml.a and usr/bin/emulationstation, but I have no clue where it does come from. I see that in Font.cpp there's a reference to "ResourceData" but I cannot track where it come from.

@ilikenwf thank-you. I had to modify GameList.h and MetaData.h patches, I have a different version it seems.

As outlined by @toeshred, this is the fix for the startup crash; lvl0: Error - File type unknown! emulationstation: /var/tmp/pamac-build-m1s3ry/emulationstation/src/EmulationStation-2.9.0/es-core/src/resources/Font.cpp:21: Font::FontFace::FontFace(ResourceData&&, int): Assertion `!err' failed. Aborted (core dumped)

cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation.git
cd EmulationStation
git checkout 3adadc9  # the parent commit of when data/resources was removed
mkdir -p ~/.emulationstation/resources
cp -r data/resources/ ~/.emulationstation/

@toeshred Thank you for finding out this! Starting with this issue, I stumbled upon this pull request that seems to be fixing it https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/pull/618 I will try. I will try to make a patch with it, but I'm not able to do it now.

@postblue The problem is upstream. I compiled from the github source and same problem. I fixed it by following 'bsinky' instructions from here: https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/issues/427

Basically it just needs the resources directory to be put into .emulationstation, otherwise the last resort is to check the src directory where it was originally compiled from. I did the 'git checkout 3adadc9' in a new clone of ES and copied the data/resources folder into my .emulationstation, and it worked.

getting this error, any help ?

@toeshred Indeed, launcher is linking to source directory (where it was built) instead of package directory. But I don't know how to fix this, Cmake seems to link itself to the directory where it was built.
