Cannot compile MAME 0.253

[MomoneDk]

Hello, is anyone successfully compiled mame 253 ?

Until mame 252 it wasn't a matter, but for this new version, the GCC 10,11, and 12 doesn't work.

work here.

MAME? not MAMEUI? Both compile here fine.

In this cas i will see if i need an update in the gcc, and try to compile under windows 7 and not windows 10.

Hello

I have this error every time i try to compile mame 253, i have the same error with GCC 10.1, and even later GCC.

I've split this to a new thread as it was off-topic.

Now, quoting myself:

Quote

In MAME, the files arcade.flt and mess.flt were deleted, however you can create your own and it will work as before. The only difference is that you need to maintain them yourself instead of being done by the developers.

This means you will get the error: Definition file for TARGET=mame SUBTARGET=arcade does not exist

So, you need to create your own copy of arcade.flt, and maintain it. If you want, you can copy the file from the source of ARCADE64 (included in the main download).

@MomoneDk  if you are interested, the binaries are on emufrance.

Hello

Thank you for your answers, i took the arcade file from Arcade64 sources and the compilation worked !!!

So if i want all the games and if i understand well, i need to remove all the "//" in the arcade.flt file.

 

@pmc2 , yes, it was a possibility in the cas i didn't compile.

 

Thanks
