XMAME compiling question

(1/4) > >>

govee:
I recently decided I had too much free time so I decided to do a Linux version for another cab.I have no linux experience so this question might seem simple. I am running Fedora and am trying to get XMAME compiled. The instructions in the readme are difficult to understand and I know I am screwing this up. I was sucessful at compliling mame under windows but I think the instructions were written for the average non technical windows user and the XMame instructions appear to believe since I am using Linux I must be a Techy.I did what I think was correct and when I get to the point of typing "make " in the terminal it says no target. do I have to do a change directory to the file where the xmame is loaded?

govee:
Ok, that was easy. Yes, I do need to do a"CD". Now I get a error 127 after the compiling starts. Any thoughts?

There is no reason to use XMAME anymore.  It is dead.

SDLMAME is what you want.

govee:
Thank you.
Does the version of SDLMAME ie (SDLMAME 0.115) have to be tied to the same version of ROMS? i would like to use an early version of ROMs to start. If I need an early SDLMAME version is there a site that has the old versions.

Usually, that means the error is on line 127 of the makefile... from there you can see where the problem is starting..  like, maybe not having the full devel packages (i use a different distro, but I think Ubuntu does that)...

I still use xmame, and am happy with it (using .106) though I do have SDL enabled :)
