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 18/19/20:
Code
yum install gcc gcc-c++ SDL-devel libXinerama-devel qt-devel expat-devel fontconfig-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 Dec, 2013: Updated for Fedora 20 and latest MAME/MESS.

Ubuntu 11.10 (should also work for Kubuntu)
Code
sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion libsdl1.2-dev libgtk2.0-dev libgconf2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev

For Ubuntu 12.10 make that:
Code
sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion libsdl1.2-dev libgtk2.0-dev libgconf2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev gcc-4.6 g++-4.6

And for 14.04 make that:
Code
sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion libsdl1.2-dev libgtk2.0-dev libgconf2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev gcc-4.6 g++-4.6
sudo apt-get install libqt4-*

On 12.10, for MAME versions 0.147u5 and later 12.10 will be auto-detected and it will prompt you to install gcc-4.6 and g++-4.6 if you haven't already. 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.

For a FreeBSD system with an up to date ports tree:
- cd /usr/ports/emulators/sdlmame
- su
- make
- make install

That will automatically download, compile, and install sdlmame and all needed dependencies.

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.

For Debian and friends with OSS4, you may not get sound using the default libsdl1.2debian-alsa package. Replacing it with libsdl1.2debian-oss and specifying the sound driver for SDLMAME as "dsp" should work. (Thanks Rhapsody!)

For Mandriva users:

1 - install your system with development packages
2 - get libsdl-devel package via urpmi
3 - edit SDLMAME makefile with your requirements
4 - make!

I've updated the ports for sdlmame and sdlmess and also created a sdlmame-devel ports for u release.
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).
