Title: Compile Question: Where are the MAME tools?
Post by: hoffy84 on February 10, 2013, 11:04:06 pm

Hi guys,

I have been following a few guides on how to compile my own MAME build (w/out nags, high score support, etc), and everything is fine. But where are the extra MAME tools, like CHDMAN.EXE, JEDUTIL.EXE, etc?

I read Mr. Do's guide, and it says to type MAKE -ALL, to get the extra tools, but that doesn't work. Any idea how to get these tools in the latest MAME version 0.148? Did MAMEdev stop including them in the source code?

Thanks in advance, for the help.

Why not install the mame binaries, and then copy over your own build mame.exe.

That's what I always do. 

The only time your issue would be an actual issue is when they've done some upgrades to the helper programs, which rarely happens.

make all, not make -all

there was a period where they didn't get included with the official binaries, however I always include them with my UME builds (32-bit and 64-bit versions of 148u1 and the associated tools will be posted shortly)

Thank you guys,

I downloaded-unzipped the Binaries to a new folder, and then copied my build over to the new folder replacing any files with the ones I created initially.

Thanks!!!
