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!

Sadly enough, there doesn't seem to be a PBI for pcbsd yet for either sdlmame or sdlmess.

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).

Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) (also applies to Kubuntu 8.10 and Xubuntu 8.10 and any other *buntu 8.10)
Code
sudo apt-get install build-essential libsdl1.2-dev libgtk2.0-dev libxinerama-dev libgconf2-dev
sudo apt-get install gcc-4.2
On 32bit:
Code
make CC=@gcc-4.2 LD=@gcc-4.2
On 64bit:
Code
make CC=@gcc-4.2 LD=@gcc-4.2 PTR64=1
You may of course edit the makefile as well.

gcc 4.3 exhibits certain bugs when compiling mame both in 32bit and 64bit. 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. mad

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.

PPC64 (done in Gentoo and version sdlmame0.130 here):

Code
In src/emu/eigccppc.h, change all instances of bne-- to bne-
In src/osd/sdl/osinline.h, change all instances of bne-- to bne-
then with a terminal in the sdlmame directory just do
Code
make BIGENDIAN=1 PTR64=1

Should work well smile

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

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.

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

I only had to add the -m32 option to the LDFLAGS to make it link on a macbook pro. Without it I was getting architecture related errors (x86_64 missing from SDL for instance).

Hi all.
Yesterday O downloaded SDLmame for N900. I�m trying to compile for my tablet. But i can�t.

I searched all over the net, but i did�t get luck.

I�ll apreciate every advice you can give.

Hi, the N900 is not yet supported. That work is in progress and hindered by the fact that none of us working on it have the hardware yet.

I tried this for a fairly new installation of OpenSUSE 11.2:

Code
zypper install subversion make gcc gconf2-devel gtk2-devel libSDL-devel

This should allow to check out from Subversion and to build successfully.

These are the dependencies I had to install on a debian wheezy (testing):

as root:
Code
aptitude install build-essential libsdl1.2-dev libgtk2.0-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev

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

patch --binary will allow the patching to work even with the original line endings.

ETA: MAME still explicitly uses GTK+ 2.x, so you shouldn't need gtk3-devel.

So will running the following in the ...

Quote
for i in 'ls -Ar *'; do sed 's/^M//g' $i :> $i; done /* to output a ^M (ctrl-m), type ctrl-v then ctrl-m */

...but dos2unix has never failed me yet.

Also, openSUSE 12.1 requires gtk3-devel with gcc unless you don't install GNOME (due to the switch to GNOME 3).

If you actually understand sed syntax, you probably don't need this guide in the first place.

For everyone else, patch --binary is much, much easier smile

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. Restrict to *.c, *.h, and *.mak for safety.

Another reason why I prefer dos2unix. It is fairly accurate at ignoring anything that appears to be a non-text file.

Also, I'm looking about on software.opensuse.org, and while there are packages available, the releases are almost a year old year old (I don't know which one it is at the moment as I'm dualbooted into Windows at present)...

openSUSE 12.1: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators/openSUSE_12.1/
openSUSE 11.4: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators/openSUSE_11.4/

That's actually a good point - I have no idea who's doing the SuSE packaging right now, if anyone. All the other "name" distros and the *BSDs are actively updated.

The MAME package for openSUSE is usually taken from PackMan since there's apparently no 'official' package that's up to date:

http://packman.links2linux.org/package/mame

(EDIT: I was considering to add MAME and MESS packages to "my" QMC2 repository just because of this, but I've actually better things to do smile )

Hi ! Are there some additional build options that could be used in order to speed up emulation (x64 target in my case) ? I didn't realize my i3 CPU would be too slow for Cave SH3 emulation... Just a little, but it is !

Default options are as good as it gets usually, and GCC tends to get buggy fast if you go off the beaten path. Cave SH3 is quite heavy - it's a miracle it runs fast on any PC at all right now.

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.

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.

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.

small note to point out that as of current git repo, MAME requires Xcode 7.x (and thus OSX >= 10.10.4) to compile on OSX due to some flags which are set by BGFX library which are not recognized by older clang.

not a big deal since update to 10.11 is free, but still worth a not for whoever is stuck for any reason to 10.10.3 (as I am for another couple of weeks)

PPC isn't really supported at this point, but the instructions for Snow Leopard may give you some guidance: http://docs.mamedev.org/initialsetup/compilingmame.html
