MAME Compiler 64 and an error I don't understand.. HELP?!

[Games001]

Maybe you folks can tell me where I have made a mistake in my MAME v123 Compile attempt:

Directory Structure:

MinGW in C:\MinGW

MAME Source in Z:\MAME

Diff/Hi Patch in C:\MinGW\Patches

GameEX (reg'd) in C:\Games\GameEX

When I attempt to patch the first 0123u1.diff I get this report on each notice:

Applying Diff Patch...

can't find file to patch at input line 4

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

The text leading up to this was:

--------------------------

|diff -Nru src-old/build/build.mak src/build/build.mak

|--- src-old/build/build.mak 2008-01-27 12:19:32.000000000 -0800

|+++ src/build/build.mak 2008-02-12 23:40:12.000000000 -0800

File to patch:

Where have I gone wrong?

Thanks folks.

Triple? I only saw a double post.. and I 'closed' that post as best I know how.

Sorry for the double clicking.

I was counting the one in the other thread, I see you changed it.

No problem though, I just thought I'd mention it.

That happens alot.. Some time the forum is slow to respond and you hit post twice.. Its the ones that are 5 and 6 post like spamming that is frowned upon. I removed the duplicate post

Now.. anyone have a clue what I am doing wrong here?? ^

I believe its not finding your mame source make file.

Did you download the mame source?

Also they are are in 124 now so you mat want to do that one

Are you using the v0.123 or a v0.123u__ release? If you are using a 'u' release, then perhaps the diff isn't happy with patching the source correctly?

I am using MAME v123 (source mame0123b_i686)

The source is extracted into my MAME Folder (and runs just fine in GameEX)

I would like to stick with v123 for now, until I have a v124 rom set.

You are using the binaary... Not the source..

You cannot run the source directly.. If you look at your file name mame0123b_i686

the 123b is binary... the source will be name 123s

Welp, I am a fool.. wrong one I listed. The Source I have is indeed 'mame123s'. *duh*

Do you still have your source in the self extracting Zip file? Perhaps it would be best to start from scratch.

I will try that now.. a complete reinstall will not take me too long since I keep my roms and snap movies on another drive, not CD's.

Let me do so now and see if that helps.
