Mame compiler not working....(RESOLVED)

[severdhed]

EDIT:  I managed to locate the older versions of mingw and the mame compiler that i downloaded in 2012, the first time i did it.  When using those, i was able to get it to compile without issues.  There must be something incompatible with the new mame compiler and mame 150. 


Original thread below:




I had problems with a rom launching when i copied mame from one cabinet to the other. I had compiled mame .150 a few years ago with the hiscore patch and direct input support.  I beleive i chose the optimize for AMD x64 when i did it, which is probably why i ran into issues with it on my intel based cabinet.  I downloaded the mame 150 binary and the game in question ran fine on the new pc....but i hate those nag screens.

so i decided i'd give compiling another chance.  I downloaded the mame 150 source, hiscore patch and the Mame Compiler 64 from headsoft.com but i just can't seem to get it to work.  I tried it both with the hiscore patch applied and without, but i just get a bunch of errors that don't mean a whole lot to me.

I then decided to try it manually using the instructions on Mr Do's site, but something must have changed since those instructions were put up.  The batch files had the wrong paths, but even when i corrected them, it still fails. 

please help.

Here is the console output window from the Mame Compiler 64 v2.0.171
