Problems Compiling Mame

[wasko]

Hi guys, I am almost ready to throw my system into my cabinet but I really want to compile my MAME so I will not have the nag screens and I also want to enable High Scores...

I followed the compiler post guide exactly ( i am skipping the MameUI steps because I dont use that) and with every .diff I use I get the same errors. I have attached a screen shot and a log of the errors.

If anyone has any ideas as to why this is happening let me know.

Thank you very much

I am sure HK would know right away, but in his absence, are you sure the SOURCE files are extracted to the correct directory and not sitting in /Mame0128u4/Mame0128u4? They should be in the root of Mame0128u4.

Hmph, i thought you had it there! I tried everything in the source folder, and everything in its own directory inside of the source folder but I keep getting the same thing.

I am kind of at a loss here because I am not a newb when it comes to computers. Is there any way I can get a pre-compiled version of the binary??

My guess is you have extracted the source incorrectly. I would start again and follow the instructions carefully. Quite often it's the computer savvy people who overlook the obvious.

Alright I am going to give it another go. I will report back

oh boy, you are completely right headkaze, turned out I was trying to compile the binary and not the source

I'm retarded.
