Mame compile woes

[Dudeman]

I'm having a heck of a time trying to compile. I'm trying to compile v106, because I read somewhere in a past thread that it was the treat, my roms are all checked against that version, and I don't really want to go through the rom "collection/checking/fixing/deleting unwanted" process again. I know that version still had the high score capability but had the no nag switch removed, so that is what I'm trying to compile for.

I've used Headkaze's Mame Compiler v1.17 but I get:

makefile:334: src/windows/windows.mak: No such file or directory
makefile:339: src/cpu/cpu.mak: No such file or directory
makefile:340: src/sound/sound.mak: No such file or directory
mingw32-make: *** No rule to make target `src/sound/sound.mak'.  Stop.

When I try and manually do it (meaning command line) following Mr.Do's instructions, I get the same thing.

So I try it on a different box. 32bit so I can't use the Mame Compiler (I assume because 64 means it is 64bit, right?) so I download the compile stuff from mamedev.org.
I try to use mingw-mame-w32-20100102.exe and I get:
make: Interrupt/Exception caught (code = 0xc0000005, addr = 0x77c47098)

I try to use mingw-mame-20070810.exe and I get:
Compiling src/windows/wind3d.c...
cc1.exe: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-unused-functions"
mingw32-make: *** [obj/mame/windows/wind3d.o] Error 1

I try to use mingw-mame-20070617.exe and I get:

... and on and on.

What the heck am I doing wrong? Besides trying to do something above my pay grade.

BTW... All of this is using mame0106s.zip source code. Not even adding in any diffs.

I would follow the details here: http://mrdo.mameworld.info/compile.html

I had trouble using HeadKaze's program as well, but once I found this guide, I had no problem compiling on my computer. I hope this helps. (and no offence to HeadKaze intended)

[Dudeman]

Yup. Tried that. It says, "NOTE: This is to compile MAME starting with version 0.119" so I assume that is a problem as I'm trying to compile 106.

[headkaze]

Yup. Tried that. It says, "NOTE: This is to compile MAME starting with version 0.119" so I assume that is a problem as I'm trying to compile 106.

You can download the older version of Mame Compiler for compiling earlier versions of Mame from here.

I'll have to check to see if MC will compile the latest version a few people have said it's not working.

[Dudeman]

Downloaded that version to another system. Tried to compile without adding any diff files... here's the result:

New info.

I downloaded v0105... same error.

I downloaded v0112... it's currently compiling. So maybe the problem is the version of MinGW that I'm using. Question is... what is the right version?

[Dudeman]

I was finally able to compile version .0123 with Mame Complier 117. Still can't compile lower versions.

[headkaze]

Use the MinGW version that comes with Mame Compiler.

[Dudeman]

Tried that. No go.

[Eddie_Brock]

I'm pretty sure that from my experience, .NET framework 3.5 was needed to do the compiling. My arcade machine doesn't have .net, so I had to do it on my PC. Worked fine, just transferred everything over afterwards and it worked fine.

Maybe double check that you have .net 3.5, and Direct X installed.

[headkaze]

cc1.exe: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-unused-functions"

Unless I'm missing something this is telling me you're using a different MinGW version to the one installed (it's happened before)

I could be wrong though!

[Dudeman]

Well, I downloaded the source code AGAIN for 0106 and tried to recompile. Errors, but I started messing with the checkboxes. I assumed because I had a 64bit Quad core, i should check those boxes, but nope. Leaving everything blank EXCEPT "Clean Compile" and "Disable Warnings as Error" allowed me to compile 0106.  

I started adding diffs (0106-0106u10.diff to be exact), and that's where I'm running into problems. 1st one said something along the lines of:
src/usrintrf.c:420: error: unterminated #ifndef

So I edited that file, found where the ifndef was opened and added the close tag after that section, which happened to be segmented by comments.

Ran again and now I'm getting:
Compiling src/timer.c...
Compiling src/ui_text.c...
Compiling src/unzip.c...
Compiling src/usrintrf.c...
src/usrintrf.c:440: error: conflicting types for 'ui_init'

src/usrintrf.c:460: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
src/usrintrf.c:460: error: for each function it appears in.)
src/usrintrf.c: At top level:

mingw32-make: *** [obj/mame/usrintrf.o] Error 1
Finished!

So I do have a working 0106, but I'll have to decide how much time I want to spend on these diffs. Value added vs. time.

Thanks for the input guys. Especially Headkaze. If I had to commandline this whole thing every time I'd have gone postal.

headkaze i followed everything what you have wrote about how to setup everything, but when i try to
compile i get this errors:

MameUI.mak:40 warning: overriding commands for target ´mameui32.exe´
makefile:664: warning: ignoring old commands for target ´mameui32.exe´
Compiling src/emu/cpu/m68000/m68kmake.c...

gcc: CreateProcess: No such file or directory
mingw32-make ***[obj/winui/mame/emu/cpu/m68000/m68make.o] Error 1

...and so on with few more No such file or directory, then finished.

what could it be?

Try messing with the check boxes. I got different results with different selections.
