Arch has reliable, quickly-updated binary packages of MAME as well, which is one thing that definitely recommends them smile

How do I compile the tools under OS X?
I compile MAME (complete, arcade only and mess only) without any slight issue, but the tools are never built and the old ways to compile them are not working anymore...

Use "make TOOLS=1". Add "REGENIE=1" to rerun genie if necessary.

Thank you, will try it once my current compile is done.

What's this for?

Well, GENie generates the make-files, and this would force them to be regenerated in case they already exist. The tools are no longer a direct "make target" but an option (TOOLS=1) that will add the required rules to the produced make-files.

Still compiling, but while I'm there, I know I'm way long overdue on this (well, after surgery, job loss, wife loss and basically shitty life :-), finally back into the game. So, is a French translator needed to QMC2? If so, I'll register an account and fill in this evening.

Seems to be working, without needing the REGENIE.
Thanks!

For Debian Jessie, including the Raspbian variant for the RPi 2, and MAME 0.170+:

Code
apt-get install git build-essentials libsdl2-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libfontconfig-dev qt5-default

This should also work on the ODROID U3 and XU4 running Debian. Do NOT attempt on the original Pi!

For instance, to build an Apple II-only MAME on the Pi 2:
Code
make SOURCES=src/mame/drivers/apple2.cpp,src/mame/drivers/apple2e.cpp,src/mame/video/apple2.cpp REGENIE=1 -j5

The Pi 2 has 4 CPU cores, so -j5 will (slightly) help compilation speeds.

A fast harddisk or SSD connected to the Pi 2's USB ports will greatly outperform most microSD cards, so it's worthwhile to put the MAME source tree on such a drive.

I just see that the debugger was upgraded to qt5.
Which packages I need to install on Ubuntu 14.04?
Or better is there an option to completely skip debugger compilation?

Looks like it's qt5-default for both Ubuntu and Debian.

Skipping the debugger doesn't buy you anything unless you're targeting something without a window system.
