Title: Compiling older DOS versions of Mame
Post by: SirPeale on March 27, 2005, 02:54:55 pm

Thought I'd play a bit with .36 and try some of the newer stuff in an older release.

So I get DJGPP from mame.net, install it, and it tells me I need zlib.  I thought that would come with DJGPP, but I guess not.  I get the precompiled libs, and toss them in...no dice.  Still tells me I need it.

So I get the source, and of course it's set up for Linux, not DOS.

What am I doing wrong?

The binary had directories all set up (bin, lib, etc) so I just dropped it onto my DJGPP dir.

Are you using the stuff from

http://www.mame.net/compilefinal.html

It does include instructions for DL zlib 1.1.3 and how to install it.
