Just run 'qmake' there, then 'make' and the resulting binary (qmc2-arcade) should be created in the same folder...

Note that I've added two new make targets in SVN r4473 ('make arcade', 'make arcade-clean'):

Code

rene@thunder:~/src/qmc2> make help
Usage: make [<targets>] [<configuration_options>]

### Target ###  ### Description ###
all (default)   Build QMC2, aliases: qmc2, bin, qmc2-bin
clean           Clean up compilation & linkage binaries from source tree
config          Show build configuration options and their current values
dist            Create source distribution archives (tar.gz and tar.bz2)
exclude-list    Recreate SVN exclude-list (only used by developers)
help | ?        Show this help
install         Install QMC2 binaries and data files for system-wide use
lang            Recreate binary translation files only (if not up to date)
os-detect       Detect host OS and distribution / version
snap            Create source distribution archives with date and time stamp
configure       Create qmake output and stop, alias: qmake
arcade          Build arcade-mode binary (qmc2-arcade)
arcade-clean    Clean up arcade-mode build
tools           Build tools: qchdman
tools-clean     Clean up tools: qchdman-clean
tools-install   Install tools: qchdman-install

Run 'make config' for build configuration options.

Also, 'make distclean' now implies 'make arcade-clean' as well.

It's really similar to 3dArcade, but i don't mind you do this your way, even if it's a bit similar to 3darcade as : 1) It would be great to have both the features of 3d arcade and QMC2 in one frontend 2) I prefer having to talk to you as your project is 100 times more alive than 3d arcade Last edited by remax; 12/03/12 04:32 PM.

qmc2 Very Senior Member Q Joined: May 2008 Posts: 4,930 Likes: 24 Germany	Well, yes, in this regard it may be similar then... what I've seen from 3D Arcade was that you'd move to an arcade machine in a 3D scenario (and play the machine inside this "world") -- that's not what I intend to do, but I think you already got it. (EDIT: ah, yes, you're talking about a different front-end) Yes, it's meant to be a "go straight into the games" graphical alternative to the full-blown QMC2 GUI. That's useful for use in arcade cabinets as well as on mobile devices and standard desktops. Last edited by qmc2; 12/03/12 04:31 PM. A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work unless it's open.
