Having trouble compiling MAME .137

[BadMouth]

I'm trying to compile .137 with some gear shift fixes made directly to the drivers (not applying any diffs).

I decided to stick with the version currently on my driving cab because I'm afraid of California Speed and SF Rush running slower.
It took a lot of tweaking to get them running at a reasonable speed.

Just as an experiment, I'd done this with v.142 using Headkaze's MAME Compiler 64 and everything worked fine.  Only changed a couple drivers on that run though.
The version of MAME Compiler 64 that corresponds with v.137 doesn't seem to be available, so I tried version 1.17 and it didn't work (should it?)

Next, I tried to compile it via command line using the tools that mamedev provides.
(Using an older version of the tools that corresponds to v.137)

The first time I ran it, it appeared to work except for errors in one of the drivers I had messed with.
It appeared not to create the mame.exe

So I redid my changes to that driver and tried again.
(I don't know how to code, I'm copying and pasting from a diff file meant for an older version of MAME, but it worked on v.142)
Now it doesn't get very far before I get the following errors:



Anyone know what's going on without going to too much trouble?
I've deleted everything in the folder, re-extracted MingGW into it and still get the same error.
I've also tried compiling unmodified v.137 and still get the same error.

EDIT: I KEPT SCREWING UP SETTING THE PATH

It ran for a long time and looked like everything was working right, but then it stopped here:



I'm heading to bed for the night.  If anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong without going to too much trouble, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

Hard to say for sure. Not cleaning your teeth maybe? Wrong kind of pillow?

That did it.  Working fine now.
(actually, I used Mr. Do's batch files and it worked fine http://mameworld.info/mrdo/compile.html )

When you get an error just try continuing the compile as sometimes it will still complete. This is probably what happened when you used those batch files; it probably just finished off the compile.
