May somebody compile Linux latest builds (0.162...) ?

[pakoman]

Hi.
May somebody be so kind to compile the linux builds of groovymame and upload somewhere for us to download? AFAIK Calamity doesn't have a linux computer anymore and most of us can't compile at all.

Thanks.

PS: even the latest AdvanceMenu plus would be nice also.

Hi Pakoman,

Some time ago, Calimity has requested my Linux build to put it with the others binary on the google drive. I don't know why it has not been done.
The file is available from here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw1goIvmpkFPT0dmNGdUQk5hWnM

I can put a advmenu build as well, but it is not different from the one inside the groovyarcade distro.

That's true. As soon as you posted it I tested it in a Mint virtual machine and it failed due to missing libraries, I wanted to test it with Groovy but since then I've been extremely busy so I couldn't.

Hi Clamity,

I see the point. Indeed, I do regular updates of the groovyarcade distribution (Arch Linux) to follow X, SDL and some other library updates.

Here is the list of dependencies for the provided binary. Are you able to provide me a groovymame ldd output?

Code: [Select]

alsa-lib
bzip2-libs
expat
fontconfig
freetype
glib2
glibc
libdrm
libffi
libgcc
libICE
libpng

Hi Doozer,

To be clear, I didn't test your binary in Arch (Groovy) because I don't have an installation currently. I tested it in Mint (virtual box).

Hi Calamity,

I've compiled it under fedora. The ldd returns so many diff that I am asking myself if you have the right binary. Could you please check md5 for the file?

Code: [Select]

be73c167f783d85fc817bde99a85b49a  mame64_162_015g_awk

Which library the executable is complaining about when you try to launch it? I can prepare you a raw drive (3G) based on groovy if you want.

[Calamity]

Code: [Select]

be73c167f783d85fc817bde99a85b49a  mame64_162_015g
The error message it gives is:

Code: [Select]

./mame64_162_015g: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by ./mame64_162_015g)

[Doozer]

Which version of libstdc++ is installed under Mint? On my fedora I have 4.9.2.

Is Linux Mint providing a newer packer for this library? if not what are the versions supported?

Code: [Select]

objdump -x  <path to the file>/libstdc++.so.6 | grep  'GLIBCXX_3.4'


[pakoman]

The last version of advancemenu plus has actually many more features than the one included in groovyarcade, like support por Ume hash xml files and 7z for every emulator, menu systems, possibility of mouse axis invert for homemade trackballs, and several more.

The last version of advancemenu plus has actually many more features than the one included in groovyarcade, like support por Ume hash xml files and 7z for every emulator, menu systems, possibility of mouse axis invert for homemade trackballs, and several more.

Hi Pakoman,

Here are the build results from today's git.

I have tested it under groovyarcade and it runs fine.

Code: [Select]

[arcade@cabvm bin]$ ./advmenu

Hi Doozer,

I can't check the Linux Mint libraries right now. However, did you test your build with GA? If it works in there, then my test with Mint is irrelevant.

I have launched it under groovyarcade and it runs. Now I need to lookup on what changes are needed on the advmenup.rc file versus advmenu.rc file to finalize the test.

Thanks! great, thank you very much, I was just editing the post to add some links while you were answering at the same time.

BTW, does mame 0.162 work in groovyarcade?
And do you mind if I share the download link in the forum where daesdae posts?

The groovymame version I have posted previously is also working fine in groovyarcade. Sure, you can share the link if you want.

Hi Calamity,

I confirm that my build works on GA ;-) I have created a 7z archive to save some space.

Great! I've uplodaded it to google drive, compressed as tar.bz2 so it can be grabbed from GA setup.

OK, I will provide a tar.bz2 next time. Any convention on the naming of this file?

That's great. If you pm an email address I'll give you permissions to edit the google drive folders directly (never tried, I guess it's possible).

As for the naming convention, the actual binary needs to be "groovymame" regardless of the bits, so GA can handle it. The compressed file is labelled like this:

For default Linux builds:
groovymame64_162.015g_linux.tar.bz2

For XInput enabled builds, which is required for lightguns:
groovymame64_0160.015g_wiimote_linux.tar.bz2

Ves was providing the later ones although last one he built was 0.160. I don't know how many people out there are really using lightguns but I believe the default NO_XInput build is safer for compatibility according to the comments in the makefile. Anyway the mouse support is broken in current GM with whatever option and I don't have the time/energy to investigate the issue right now.

Hi Calamity,

I have used wiimote as lightgun in the past without the NO_USE_XINPUT = 0 just by setting the right event handler in the Xorg.cong file. I am curious, what is really the issue requiring a 2nd version having XINPUT disabled?

Maybe to support more than one mouse but not sure.

Talking about mouse/mice, perhaps. I don't have any on my setup.

What I can report is that 2 wiimotes are well supported after putting the right event ID in the xorg.conf. Can someone else comment on the necessity to have the flag NO_USE_XINPUT set to 0?

[Calamity]

If you check src/osd/sdl/input.c, there references to USE_XINPUT associated to the lightgun code. The origin of this was this patch:
http://spritesmods.com/?art=wiimote-mamegun&page=3

Then VeS mantained it for a while as a feature of GroovyMAME. Finally it was submitted to base line by someone else.

I got the point.
With standard build you have to use the XInput and set the event id properly in the xorg.conf file. The wiimote patch allow the proper configuration and handling of the XEvent.
I might be wrong but the NO_X_INPUT option seems necessary to disable the mouse XInput from interfering with mame lightgun. Can someone confirm this hypothetical behavior?
