MAME Compiler 64 v2.0.197

[headkaze]

Mame Compiler 64 v2.0.169 released

NOTE: You need to uninstall the previous version of Mame Compiler and delete your old build tools folder. Then download the new build tools from MC64.

[newoski]

Can the latest release build 0.160?

[EMDB]

Old version uninstalled. Build folder deleted. Installed MC64. Downloaded source code and build tools. Not working:

[yungism]

This is the error I got after trying to compile on version 0.169

I see that the build tools on mamedev has been updated to 01/04/2016, and the build tools downloaded by mc64 compiler is 01/03/2016. That may be why.

I get a .Net runtime error at the end of the download/extraction process.

Thanks,
Jason

[BDC009]

I'm still getting the error messages when attempting to apply the hiscore patch or just when attempting to compile mame 0.169. Screenshots are attached and full console output is here: http://pastebin.com/RBuuiT1i

Anybody encounter anything like this?

[FalcoZX]

Great piece of software. I'm having an issue with the compiled emulator. Whenever I would launch it, I receive this message:

"The program can't start because libwinpthread-1.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

I don't understand why I'm receiving this message. It looks like the dll is indeed in the build tools directory. Any idea or guidance?

Anyone run into this issue before that can offer some assistance? I've tried recompiling so many times with no luck and I can't seem to find an answer on Google.

Try clicking the update build tools button under the downloads tab.

[BDC009]

Try clicking the update build tools button under the downloads tab.

I tried that, same issue. I also tried a clean install by uninstalling mame compiler 64, and deleting mingw, mame source, and hiscore patch then reinstalled mame 64 got the build tools, source and hiscore patch from the downloads section of mame compiler 64. Same errors, no change.

[Yoeddy1]

I'm getting the same issues as mentioned in the previous posts.  Uninstall goes well, but when deleting the buildtools folder, I couldn't delete everything because there were 2 NUL files in the path.  Luckily I googled and found a way to delete those files via cmd prompt.

Thanks,
Jason

Can you guys try updating Mame Compiler again. There have been a few odd issues I've had to resolve with the new build tools.

[EMDB]

Just did. Working fine again. Thanks

Although... It builds but it does not run. It complains about missing libwinpthread-1.dll. (should be statically linked I guess) 

(Adding 64 bits version of libwinpthread-1.dll to the MAME folder works but I like to have MAME run natively without external dependencies)

[headkaze]

It complains about missing libwinpthread-1.dll. (should be statically linked I guess) 

Please try another update and then put a tick next to "Clean Compile" before you compile. Let me know how you go.

I updated Mame Compiler and build tools and then tried it again with the clean compile option. Applying the Hiscore patch went through fine and compiling MAME gets a lot further but now I get:

Code: [Select]

GCC version 4.9 or later needed
make: *** [build/projects/windows/mame/gmake-mingw64-gcc/Makefile] Error -1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
Running gcc --version in mingw\mingw32\bin and mingw\mingw64\bin shows version 5.3.0 so I'm not sure why its giving an error that 4.9 or later is needed.

Thanks for the update!

[EMDB]

Perfect! No more dependency on libwinpthread-1.dll 

[Yoeddy1]

Just completed it and everything ran perfect.  I checked "Clean compile."

Thanks,
Jason

[BDC009]

Well I installed it on another pc and everything compiled fine. I couldn't find any other gcc.exe files on the original pc so I still have no idea why it was giving an error that it was an old version. Thanks for your help.

[FalcoZX]

Running the compiler now with "clean compile" checked. So far it looks like it's running without any issues. Crossing my fingers.

[Yoeddy1]

Just a suggestion...

If "Clean compile" needs to be checked in order for the process to work, shouldn't it be checked by default?

Thanks,
Jason

[dannybrear]

Hi,

First post so hope this is in the appropriate place! I've managed to get my cab built and running from searching browsing these forums but I really want hi-score support.

I decided to try the compiler and the latest version of mame, run the patch that ended in the .txt then compiled which took 7 hours on my laptop. A quick test of Puckman and it doesn't seem to be saving hi-scores. I've also added hi folder and hiscore.dat into the mame folder.

Is there anything obvious I'm doing wrong ? As it takes so long to compile i can't play around as much with it as I have to get the rest of the setup working. Maybe I should try a older version as I'm only playing the classics!

On a plus note excellent work on the compiler the compiled mame does run so I've learnt something new!

Cheers

Danny

That was only a suggestion for EMDB since he'd already attempted a compile. What "Clean Compile" does is delete all previous compiled objects so it will start a fresh compile. In most cases you will not need to use it.

[FalcoZX]

I just wanted to follow up my post from yesterday. I was able to compile and run mame successfully with no issues after checking "clean compile". Thank you so much for this amazing piece of software headkaze. 

Edit: It seems that the "No Warnings as Errors" option didn't work with the mame I compiled. Weird. I'm not sure what's going on. I didn't receive any errors or anything like that. Is there supposed to be a setting somewhere to turn this option on?

Edit 2: Never mind, works as expected

[bearzilla333]

Anyone help me? I have compiled MAME like 5x times, I get no errors, but that dam nagscreen/whitebox, and the highscore is not working for me, am I missing something on the "build options tab"? I have used this program  before with no problem, not sure what I am doing wrong.


***Figured it out, got it to work, works good for me, I brainfarted the exact samething I did in the past, changing that dam file to Diff, I feel like an idiot, but I got it to work 

[bobmoo79]

Hi there,

I tried to compile mame0.169 with the nonag/hiscore diff over the weekend and it didn't work. There were no errors but the nag screens still appear and the hiscore doesn't save. Sounds like it could be the same issue you're having.

I'm sorry perhaps I'm having a slow day today but I couldn't tell what your resolution was from your post. Seems a bit ambiguous to me.....


Do you mean you changed the 'txt' extension to 'diff' and that caused your problem?

Or that you left it as 'txt' when you should have renamed it?

If somebody could clarify that would be appreciated.


Many thanks!

Edit: I pointed the compiler at the txt file and it worked fine.
Incidentally when trying to use the diff downloaded by the compiler it appeared to be blank (file size was 0kb). Is that an error/bug??? It happened work two different installations on two different machines.

[Flyer]

Hopefully this doesn't offend anyone with an RTFM response but I see no "M" for anything on headsoft.

I have successfully followed the directions on their site and compiled MAMEUI64 169 version with headkaze's compiler but nothing happens when I run it :/

I tried putting it in place of the downloaded 169 EXE on my machine but when I run it nothing launches.  I saw some direction about making a "HI" folder and copying the hiscore dat and did all that but still nothing.

What am I missing?

Thanks!

[bobmoo79]

Hmm, I don't think you're missing much. This could be related to the comment I edited into my post last night.

The diff file downloaded through the compiler is actually empty - 0kb - and so doesn't work. I found that when using that diff MAME would load with just a black screen.

Try downloading the diff from the link below and then point the compiler to that. Make sure you click 'apply patch' before you click 'go'.

Let us know if this solves your problem...

[headkaze]

The diff file downloaded through the compiler is actually empty - 0kb - and so doesn't work.

Please do an MC64 update. I've hopefully fixed this issue.

[bobmoo79]

I  just updated and it now correctly downloads the diff. Thanks.


Flyer if you update MC64 now you can just use the diff downloaded through the software - no need to use the one from the link I provided.

[artyfarty]

Is there an update to get the 01/04/2016 build tools? I tried performing the update suggested on mamedev:

"In case you have version from 2016-01-03, just do : git pull in root of your tools to update
scripts, and then check if file usr\bin\sh.exe.old exist, if so rename it to usr\bin\sh.exe
Start your environment and enjoy. "

But this gives me an "aborted" error, although the usr\bin\sh.exe.old did exist, so I renamed it.

Thanks,

Martin

So here is another issue that I found while using the compiler.  If I tell it to download mame source, the patch and the built tools at the same time I get the attached image error.

I have run the update but the version number never changed.

This is the error:

[Flyer]

Dang, I just cant win.  This machine has nothing on it.  Fresh Win 10 install compiler this is the ONLY thing installed.   I flushed everything on it to do with the compiler and buildtools dir and started over.  Everything downloads and decompresses if I choose each download 1 at a time however....
 
Now I get this:  make: *** [windows_x64] Error 2  after it runs for 23 minutes on an i7 latest Gen processor with 8GB ram and a hybrid drive.

Make sure you have the latest build tools by selecting "Update Build Tools" under the "Downloads" tab.

If you get the "No rule to make target" error, just press the "GO!" button again, and it should continue and successfully compile.

[EMDB]

Thanks. Trying again did the trick although I never ever had to do that before 

[Yoeddy1]

I can't for the life of me figure this out.  I have updated the compiling tools, tried this on 2 pcs and it won't work with 170.  I get all of the errors listed above.  I checked clean compile like with 169.  Nothing works.  Any ideas?

Headkaze, is there an updated version available?

Jason

[ArrogANT]

Hi Headkaze,

Thank you for you work with the app, but I am also getting errors when compiling Mame 0.170. I receive the following error:

I have downloaded the build tools and Mame source multiple times, but it seems to fail.

This is on a newly built PC with hardly anything installed on it.

[Yoeddy1]

Yeah, one of my tests was on a Win10 x64 new image.  Something has to be wrong.  Usually this software is smooth and easy sailing. 

Thanks,
Jason

[ArrogANT]

I hope so, because I remember compiling Mame from Mr Do's walk-through being a lot harder than what Headkaze has made this! 

[KingViper]

I also could not compile Mame 0.170. I'm running Windows 10 x64. I did not however have issues compiling Mame 0.168.

[Yoeddy1]

Any updates Headkaze?

Thanks,
Jason
