You have to add the sources to the appropriate lua file or it won't compile/link them.

This is the driver I'm toying with ... I hope that a kind soul will scrap that completely and make a nice bus/card system for the MFA

mfabfz.cpp

I've added the entries




to mess.lua


to mame.lst

and



to mess.flt

Then I've compiled with REGENIE=1

The driver file gets compiled, but after that every attempt to get it linked results in

You forgot to add it to the linkProjects_mame_mess function.

Thanks, Duke.
I added it but it looks like the problem is still with my cobbled together driver file, although the compilation pass finishes.

hi

just for info

with my old gcc 6.2 mame does'nt compil anymore

just update to gcc 6.3 and it's ok !!!

Still works with 5.3.0

Yeah i'm running into problems with 6.2 as well

How did you update to 6.3? I'm on a custom Kubuntu derivative and I can't find a working repository.
Not looking forward to compiling GCC first

It's not actually GCC that's the problem, it's the libstdc++ headers, so if you build a new GCC you need to make it build against an updated libstdc++ or it won't solve anything. It's pretty easy to build GCC and make it install to an alternate path. Just add something like this to whatever other configure options you need:



Then put options like this in useroptions.mak for MAME:

Vas to the rescue! Indeed all that needed to be done was update libstdc++ and then a make clean.

Thanks!

Since I usually only work in Linux, gcc/clang is the typical tool chain for me. However, I consider to build mame binaries (for a subset of drivers) for Windows also. So I tried Visual Studio ... for the first time, following http://wiki.mamedev.org/index.php/Building_MAME_using_Microsoft_Visual_Studio_compilers

On that path, I found some points that are unclear to me.

• Once you've done that, simply run: make ...

make is not found in the plain cmd. I suppose I have to run win32env.bat in msys64 first, then go to the mame folder.

• Browse to folder containing solution file and open it with Visual Studio

I have no idea what a solution file is; sorry, utter newbie, as I said. Google said these are files with suffix .sln, so I searched the mame folder for such a file and got 24 of them. The one that sounds most promising, mame.sln, is located in a deep subdirectory (C:\prg\mame\build\projects\windows\mame\vs2015); is that the one to be opened?
