However, libretro seems to be licensed as GPLv3. This basically means that you are not allowed to use Retro68 to compile any software that is not released under the GPLv3.\r\n\r\nWould it be possible to switch libretro to either LGPLv3 or add the compiler exception there like is done with libgcc?"}}
