Advancemame .99 svgalib help

[dabone]

I'm trying to install .99 with vector linux with svgalib
and when I compile advancemame it only generatesthe following programs.
 
advmame
advm
advj
advs
advk
 
When I try to start advmame I get the error 
No monitor clocks, etc...
 
Do I have to specify manually for linux?
I'm used to the dos version.
 
Thanks.
Later,
dabone

You need to compile advcfg and advv.

Jump into the location where your advancemame source lives, and type:

make cfg
make v

In the same folder, executable versions of advcfg and advv will be created, and can be used to configure AdvanceMAME.  I don't know if it's  abug that these aren't built with the standard "make" command, or if the author intended it that way.  But it's been like that for 2 or 3 versions now.  Kinda silly.

I did some clean installs of advmame 0.97 and 0.98 (virgin systems - brand new linux installs) and both showed the missing v/cfg problems.

Next time I'm building a system, I'll document the issue and post it to the author.
