It seems that MAME needs a different setup for MinGW and djgpp than it used to. However, I can't get them set up correctly on my new computer (running WinXPhome). Please help.

Please? Someone must be able to help me out.

Hi,
There are step by steps instructions at
http://www.mame.net/compilewin.html
Also there is a mame compiling board if you have any problems at
http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/postlist.php?Cat=&Board=compiling
Hope this helps

This site with a strange name had a MinGW package that finally worked when I compiled. Give it a try!

If you'd like, I can zip up my compiler directory for you. It has compiled everything just fine. I'm using .78u6 right now.
-
Can it compile both the windows and dos versions? Either way, send it over. I need to get working on No Name MAME again (sorry about the constant delays).
EDIT: Meh, almost forgot the e-mail address. Use sunookitsune@kitsunet.org , it can hold 50 megs.

I don't know about the DOS versions, I've never tried. Definitely the Windows versions, though. I'll send it right now.
-
If memory serves, MinGW does the windows version, and DJGPP does the dos version. Someone correct me if I'm wrong though.
-
Well, I won't be able to send that after all. It was ~21M zipped, and I aparently can not send an email larger than 8.5M. I only found that out halfway thru sending it out.

You could do a multipart zip, or dump it online somewhere. Or I could continue trying to comvince my copy to work.
-
if you can multipart rar and par it post it on alt.games.mame. I kow theres a bunch of stuff to install to get a programming setup now, not all completely documented at mame.net.

Unfortunately, I have no access to newsgroups.

gates of bill:
I JUST downloaded everything today and compiled on Winxp Pro, and it worked
Just go to http://www.mame.net/downmain.html (http://www.mame.net/downmain.html)
Download MinGW-2.0.0-3.exe, install to default (c:\mingw)
Download mingw-over.zip, extract into c:\mingw (MAKE SURE you're using folder names in your unzip program)
Download gcc-3.2.2-20030208-1.tar.gz and unzip it in c:\mingw
Download dx70_mgw.zip and unzip it in c:\mingw
Download mame078s.zip and put it wherever, I put it in c:\mingw\mame.
What I did then, is went to a command prompt, went to c:\mingw\mame,
Created compile.bat with:
SET PATH=C:\mingw\bin;%PATH%
make
Saved it, ran compile.bat, and had NO problems.
That should work, step by step.

OK, I'll try MinGW again than I guess. Anyone get DJGPP working?

As a regular of alt.games.mame, I take firm exception that you note that you should post binaries to a non-binary group. I believe you meant to say alt.binaries.emulators.mame.
As AGM is not an official group (read the charter) any binaries could make an ISP stop carrying it.

I just figured I'd let you guys know that MinGW is working on my computer now. But no DJGPP yet, so I can't work on the DOS version.
