Fails to build libretro-bnes when running make and tries to copy a non-existent test

[hazrpg]

Hiya, hope y'all are keeping well. And thanks for making this repo! Keep up the great work!

I have a slight issue building it however, everything builds right up until it gets to libretro-bnes, at which point it fails, it seems to continue and then gets stuck because cp "test_libretro.so" "dist/unix/test_libretro.so" doesn't exist.

Funnily, if I cd libretro_bnes and run make in there, the core does get built and I have a bnes_libretro.so and no visible errors. The file is only kb though.

Steps I did:

• git clone [email protected]:libretro/libretro-super.git
• cd libretro-super
• make
• (it automatically fetches all the repos and submodules)
• fails when it reaches bnes
• also fails for cp test_libretro.so
• cd libretro-bnes
• make
• no fail, and bnes_libretro.so is created with 271K file reported by ls -laF

Here is a copy & paste of the error point:

Tempted to see if building test will work, because as far as I can tell it didn't even try to.

"test" is probably unrelated to bnes, is coming from build_libretro_test() instead. It has no relevance nowadays, I believe.

These build scripts are not very much used nowadays, actual mainstream compilation is done elsewhere, but if you plan to use it for some purpose, I guess test core references can be eliminated.
