#35138 - 10/29/07 03:48 PM Sticky: How to compile SDLMAME! (Read me first!)
R. Belmont Very Senior Member Registered: 03/17/01 Posts: 13177 Loc: USA	Like I said elsewhere, this thread is for people to post what needs to be done to compile SDLMAME on a base install of an OS or Linux distro. It is NOT for discussion or support - if you are unable to build SDLMAME with these instructions, please start a new thread! To kick off, for Fedora 12 through 18: Code: yum install gcc gcc-c++ SDL-devel libXinerama-devel gtk2-devel GConf2-devel SDL_ttf SDL_ttf-devel If you are using a joypad or joystick (including wired USB Xbox 360 controllers), you'll need to make sure those drivers are installed as well: Code: yum install kernel-modules-extra Updated Jan, 2013: Updated for Fedora 18 and latest MAME/MESS.

If you do have them installed, it will build automatically. For 0.147u4 and earlier, you must "make DISTRO=gcc46-generic". I believe this should be all you need, if not please correct me. play0r [RB - updated Jan. 2013 for 12.10 and latest MAME/MESS]

If you want to build from the latest u-update, make sure you have done the above at least once to get the needed dependencies and from there on it's just a matter of issuing the appropriate make commands. Sadly enough, there doesn't seem to be a PBI for pcbsd yet for either sdlmame or sdlmess. Edited by judge (10/30/07 09:09 AM)

They are not in the current ports-tree yet (I've opened PR but the original commiter seems dead ...). Just get the tgz at http://distfiles.arcadebsd.org/ports rm the current directory and extract the new one. I've removed the useless wrapper script and sdlmame and sdlmess use .mame and .mess respectively (sdlmame-devel use .mame-devel to avoid configuration problems).

Therefore we need to explicitly specify CC and LD to use gcc 4.2. Tested on a fresh install from the Live-CD as well as on my regular system. Note: If you do not need pbuilder you may "apt-get remove" gcc-4.3 as well. But then you have to create the link "/usr/bin/gcc" yourself. Edited by R. Belmont (12/10/08 04:19 PM)*

roothorick Member Registered: 03/25/07 Posts: 28	Gentoo: The Gentoo official method is: mkdir -p /etc/portage echo "app-emulation/sdlmame ~arch" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords emerge sdlmame That will get you 0.127 installed on your system. It looks like there's no set location for ROMs; just keep them in your home dir I guess. Personally, 0.127 isn't new enough for me, so I added a location in my home directory to my PATH, and I manually compile sdlmame, and copy the binary there.

Hi all
I use a script to do all in one time (tested on slamd64/slackware64). No Gconf needed.

How to use:

Code:

source$ ./sdlupdate.sh ~/your/stuff/sdlmame0132.zip

Code:

#!/bin/bash
#Script para atualizar o SDLMAME
#data: 2009.04.07 22:25 25'

SDLMAMEDIR=~/emu/sdlmame   #where it will copy the binary files
SDLMAMEFILE=`echo $1 | cut -d "/" -f8`   #get only filename, fix w/ your dir
SDLMAMEVER=`echo $SDLMAMEFILE | cut -d "." -f1`   #return version

if [ ! -e "$1" ]; then
  echo OOPs! arquivo \"$1\" inexistente. && exit 1
#fi
elif [ -e $SDLMAMEVER ]; then
  echo Removendo $SDLMAMEVER atual...
  sleep 2
  rm -rfv $SDLMAMEVER || exit 1
  echo && sleep 2
fi

echo Descompactando $SDLMAMEVER ...
unzip $1 && cd $SDLMAMEVER || exit 1
echo

if [ -e makefile ]; then

  echo Aplicando patch para compilar sem Gnome ...
  patch -p1 -i ../sdlfix-2.diff || exit 1
  echo
  
  time make -s PTR64=1 -j5 || exit 1
  echo

  for file in `find . -type f -maxdepth 1`; do 
    if [ -x $file ]; then
      echo Copiando $file ...
      cp -rfv $file $SDLMAMEDIR || exit 1
      md5sum -b $file && md5sum -b $SDLMAMEDIR/$file || exit
    fi
  done
  
fi

R. Belmont Very Senior Member Registered: 03/17/01 Posts: 13177 Loc: USA	Yeah, that will break the debugger. SDLMAME is for developers first, game players second. I've removed your patch. I've repeatedly outlined the parameters of a patch that would be acceptable to make that dependancy optional and the patch posted is NOT it. You GNOME-o-phobes need to do it right. Edited by R.

Fuzzypig Member Registered: 09/12/09 Posts: 1	Apple OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard Changed the compilation routine slightly: This is what I did: OS X: - Install latest Xcode - Install latest SDL development libraries - Unzip SDL Mame ZIP Edit supplied makefile: change both lines starting with CFLAGS ( lines 305 and 307 ) append to end of both lines the directive: -m32 Then after line 597 ( $(AR) -cr $@ $^ ) add this line: ranlib $@ Then compile as normal: make TARGETOS=macosx Edited by Fuzzypig (09/12/09 10:20 PM)

BiafraRepublic Member Registered: 03/01/12 Posts: 3	For some inane reason, the source needed to have its line endings changed from CRLF to LF using dos2unix whenever I compiled SDLMAME using openSUSE 12.1, in addition, GNOME 3 is now the official GNOME... So the list would be for openSUSE 12.1 Code: $ sudo zypper install subversion make gcc gconf2-devel gtk2-devel gtk3-devel libSDL-devel dos2unix . After that, decompress the source tree and .diff patch files and run the following where you decompressed the source and applicable patches. Code: $ dos2unix -o * $ patch -p0 -E < patchfile.diff /* for each patch to apply*/ $ make

For everyone else, patch --binary is much, much easier ETA: Also, there have been issues reported in the past where mass conversions like that hit some binary files in the source tree and caused the compile to fail and/or the resulting binary to not work properly.
