eris23: that problem has been fixed.

MikeAbson: I just compiled MESS with no problems.
I'd suggest to try again.

So last week even after trying again, I was still getting a compile error (as above). I managed to fix it by using 'PTR64=1', but now today I'm having the same problem with MESS again, whereby MAME is compiling fine (although yesterday MAME would not compile - same error as I was getting with MESS). The problem also is that the file that can't be compiled I don't think actually exists? Each time I try I get the same error, but the file name is different (dms.a, marrow.a and now this time it's be.a). I've tried both with and without 'PTR64=1' but no success.

The error when compiling MESS this time is this:

Compiling src/mess/drivers/apricotp.c...
Archiving obj/windows64/mess/adc.a...
Compiling src/mess/drivers/alesis.c...
Archiving obj/windows64/mess/altos.a...
Compiling src/mess/drivers/amiga.c...
Compiling src/mess/drivers/pcw.c...
Compiling src/mess/drivers/mathmagi.c...

Archiving obj/windows64/mess/banctec.a...
Archiving obj/windows64/mess/be.a...
ar: unable to rename 'obj/windows64/mess/be.a'; reason: File exists
makefile:1029: recipe for target 'obj/windows64/mess/be.a' failed
make: *** [obj/windows64/mess/be.a] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

The problem always occurs at:

obj/windows64/mess/<filename goes here.a>

With 'PTR64=1', my MESS batch file looks like this:

@echo off
set path=c:\mingw\mingw64-w64\bin;c:\mingw\mingw64-w64\opt\bin;c:\mingw\mingw64-w64\Qt\bin;
make clean
make -j6 TARGET=mess PTR64=1

Without 'PTR64=1, it's this:

@echo off
set path=c:\mingw\mingw64-w64\bin;c:\mingw\mingw64-w64\opt\bin;c:\mingw\mingw64-w64\Qt\bin;
make clean
make -j6 TARGET=mess

I've stated this before, but I will state it again. I'm using Windows 7 64-bit and TortoiseGIT.

No idea what's going on here... Any ideas?

This happens to me occasionally. If I run make again the build continues from where it left off.

I've seen it sometimes on Windows if you interrupt a build. Making clean and starting a new clean build usually works after that.

Checkout from https://github.com/mamedev/mame, revision HEAD, Fully recursive, Externals included.

Ps.: Clean directory, new checkout.

Fine here with command-line git tools.

Looks like you're using TortoiseSVN. I had the same problems and had to give up with it and switch to using GIT tools (TortoiseGIT and msysgit in my case).


EDIT: forgot to mention that you should either use
github.com/mamedev/mame.git or github.com/mamedev/mame/trunk
so that you don't download all those useless branches.

Robbbert,
I had the same problem as Shideravan but with dial-up went to my Library and downloaded a zip of your github.com/Robbbert/messui.

When I tried to compile it on a WinXP SP3 system with mingw and Python2.7.3 installed, I ran into errors. The first one was that pcap.h could not be found. On my system, the 3rdparty\winpcap\Include directory isn't being found.

I start compilation with

set path=C:\mingw\mingw64-w32\bin
set PATH=%~dp0bin;%~dp0i686-w64-mingw32\bin;%~dp0Qt\bin;%PATH%
set QT_PLUGIN_PATH=%~dp0Qt\plugins
SET CWD=%~dp0
assoc .py=Python.File
ftype Python.File=%~dp0bin\python.exe %1
make32 TARGET=mess OSD=winui

Any suggestions?
