Home Page Forums MAME Non-Windows MAME Support M+GUI 1.5.0 20100305 (Win/Linux/Mac/src)

How do I install the binary so that it works with mame 0.136?

Place the M+GUI executable in your MAME folder, run it and set up the paths in the configuration menus. Then press F5 to refresh the gamelist.

He's on the PS3. The distributed M+GUI binary is for Intel. You see the problem.

So what frontend should I be looking at installing then (I seriously need to make a thread for this to be stickied once we've sorted this out - with the relevant kudos of course - so that the next person with a PS3 has an easy time of it heh).

Well, there won't be too many more next people - the slimlines don't run Linux, after all.

Billb's repository contains an RPM of M+GUI 1.4.9e... may be that helps. Also, I'm sure he'll continue to update it for a while...

There are even more front ends that work on the PS3... QMC2 for instance (also in his repo):

I got that version of MGUI to install. The only thing is that when I try to run it, the following error message comes up: "Enlightenment was unable to run the following application

mamepgui

The Application failed to start"

Anyone got any ideas on what might be causing the issue (including where I need to manually link it to mame0.136)?

You're probably missing a dependent package or 3. Run it from the commandline and see what it says.

Hi, I'm having problems compiling this version of mamepgui. (I was able to get 1.4.9e running earlier.) I'm running ubuntu 9.10 x64. I've gotten mame and mess 0.137 compiled in preparation, and also downloaded/make/make installed qt 4.6 per the mamepgui compile instructions.

But here's the problem I'm having with 1.5.0 - after doing "lrelease mamepgui.pro" and "qmake", "make" fails with:

mamepgui_main.o: In function `global constructors keyed to CFG_PREFIX':
mamepgui_main.cpp:(.text+0xba3): undefined reference to `qt_plugin_instance_qico()'

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [mamepgui] Error 1

Any hints? Thanks!

My issue looks similar to this one previously posted:

http://www.bannister.org/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=53103#Post53103

""lrelease mamepgui.pro && qmake && make" failed to link on my Ubuntu (9.04 amd64) due to jpeg and ico plugins.
I had previously installed libqt4-dev, qt4-qmake, and qt4-dev-tools.

I don't know how Qt build system works.
I commented the lines in "build_static" section in mamepgui.pro file :

#LIBS

build_static {

# QTPLUGIN += qico qjpeg

# DEFINES += USE_STATIC

}

And it seems to work now."


... however, LiuKahr's fix doesn't work for me.
