Patch applies OK, but when compiling I get this error: src/emu/attotime.h: In function �attotime double_to_attotime(double)�: src/emu/attotime.h:189: warning: converting to �seconds_t� from �double� make: *** [obj/sdl/mame/osd/sdl/debugwin.o] Fehler 1

This meant HUGE changes to the makefile and therefore some regressions are possible. there is work in progress to make it again simple as it was (did you read all the posts of this thread?).

You don't want to claim to be dumber than them, right?

I'm not that dumb but a Windows user recently told me what to do to compile the Windows version and I laughed about this because it was - at least in comparison to the MacOS X version - so difficult to compile - now I'm not laughing anymore... I hope it's always the same procedure so a detailed and (for non-professional users) understandable how-to guide should do it. Especially if something has to be downloaded additionally or something like that. You always have to consider that not everyone is doing this regularly... Nevertheless I hope that http://sdlmame.parodius.com/ continues to provide the latest binaries so he can assure that everyone has access to the latest version! Thanx for all!

The script below allows to drop e.g.

0136u1_diff.zip 0136u2.zip and mame0136s.zip

into one directory and start it (let's call it build) with

./build 0136u2

This will unpack everything into mame0136u2, convert line endings, apply patches and compile.

Code:

#!/bin/sh

RELEASE=`echo $1| cut -f 1 -du`
UREL=`echo $1| cut -f 2 -du`
SOURCEZIP=mame${RELEASE}s.zip
ZIPDIR=mame${RELEASE}u${UREL}

if [ _$UREL = _$RELEASE ]; then
  UREL=0
fi

# Unzip SOURCEZIP

rm -f mame.zip
unzip $SOURCEZIP

rm -rf ${ZIPDIR}
mkdir ${ZIPDIR}
cd ${ZIPDIR}
unzip -q ../mame.zip
find . -type f -not -name uismall.png -exec sed -ie 's/.$//' {} \;

i=1
while [ $i -le $UREL ]; do
	diffname=../${RELEASE}u${i}_diff.zip
	unzip -q $diffname
	echo "Applying $diffname"
	cat ${RELEASE}u${i}.diff | sed -e 's/.$//' |	patch -s -p0 
	i=`expr $i + 1`
done

echo "Building"
make

echo "All build in $ZIPDIR"
