way to skip compiling?
« on: February 12, 2004, 09:45:52 pm »
Hi all.  I'm in the middle of compiling mame056 for dos.  It keeps crashing at the same spot (compiling drawgfx.c).  I've restarted numerous times and have even typed in make MAMEOS=msdos a total of ten times in a row!  It keeps crashing at that spot!  Is there anyway to tell the compiler to move on past that?  Like a skip command or something?  I'd appreciate any input even if it's to say how bad I suck at this, as long as you can help also. :)  Thanks!

Just a guess, but "drawgfx.c" kinda sounds like an important part of the Mame - you probably don't want to skip it.

I've never compiled the DOS version, but if your compiler is crashing then you should probably check to make sure that you are using the correct version of the compiler & related software for such an old version of Mame.

I'm guessing you made changes and downloading the binary isn't an option?

Try typing MAKE CLEAN.
then type MAKE.

This will clear all old objects and start a clean recompile.. yes it will take longer because you have to complie ALL of the files again, but it helped clear up some funky complie errors I had.

are you using the right compiler with the right libraries for the time period 56 came out?

Well I was going off of the compiling directions for dos on mame.net and used that version of mame on that page which I believe is 56.  I didn't know that you could get by without compiling by just downloading a certain release b I think it is?  Anyways I just went that route.  Thanks for all the help everybody.  I really appreciate it.
