Issues Compiling Mame

[Hituro]

So I've been trying to compile the new version of Mame so I can include the high score patch. I don't like using windows Mame and always used the command line version. I have tried different compilers and versions 1.54 and 1.53 but still keep having the same issue. Mame compiled and then gets down to doing the H8 build in the object folder and then just errors out. It stops right at the beginning of the H8 and all files are in the source folder. I'm just very confused at why this is happening and how to fix it. Can anyone help me on this?  I can't find this specific error anywhere and I've followed various install methods including Mr. Do's. Appreciate any help with this.

If your using the new tools you have to set up your paths http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,71845.msg1464331.html#msg1464331

Trickyd, I've already done that   My paths are all correct.  If they weren't I don't think it would have run through everything before getting to the H8 and the erroring.  There has to be something else that is causing this not to work.

I was successful in building 0154 at home. I just tried on my work computer and I cannot.
- I just got the latest MinGW: http://mamedev.org/tools/
- I then got the latest Mame source (mame0154s.zip): http://www.mamedev.org/release.html
- Followed the build instructions: Launch an Admin Command Window, run the Setenv.bat, run setup-qt.bat, run Make.

I'm not sure I'll have time tonight, but I'll try to figure out what I did at home to get it to compile.
