Mame Compile process fails

[John_Virgo]

I'm trying to compile MAME plus and it goes okay until I receive the following error message


Compiling src/osd/windows/scale.c...
Assembling src/osd/windows/scale/superscale.asm...
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, nasmw -o obj/windows/mamep/osd/windows/scale/
superscale.obj -f coff -Wno-orphan-labels src/osd/windows/scale/superscale.asm,
...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
mingw32-make: *** [obj/windows/mamep/osd/windows/scale/superscale.obj] Error 2

I checked in the folder and I have a superscale.asm file in there but there's nothing about a superscale.obj.

What can I do to get it to compile?

Thanks

Any ideas? I think it has something to do with the extra_utils for Mame Plus and the 'nasmw' found in extra/bin but I can't find out what it's for or how to correct the errors. I built the exact same MAME fine a month or so ago but now there is an error and I have no idea why.

I checked in the folder and I have a superscale.asm file in there but there's nothing about a superscale.obj.

The obj file will be in the obj folder (from the mame folder).  See if it exists, and if it's blank or not. 

What I'd do is delete the superscale object files from the obj folder, and try compiling again.  If that does fix it, I'd delete the same object files and the asm file you found (since it was created in the compiling).  If that's not good enough, try "make clean" and then compiling again.  If that doesn't fix it, I'd do as abispac said and start over.
