 Posted: Wed Aug 04, 2010 9:06 pm Post subject: New MAME 0.139 ebuild! |
 |
|
Hi Gentoo Users and MAME fans,
I know there are a lot of people who like MAME and regularly use it. Here is a recent posting from Belmont's website:
| Quote: |
Important Note on SDLMAME and SDLMESS
There are no longer separate programs called SDLMAME or SDLMESS. Instead, the SDL capability is included in MAME and MESS, and the makefile will auto-detect if you are on a non-Windows system and run accordingly. You now get the source directly from MAMEdev or MESSdev rather than from here.
|
The current version of sdlmame is the portage tree is 0.136. MAME is a very actively developed project and it is important to use the recent versions to get new and/or updated features. I was wondering if anyone could help adapting the current ebuild file to work with the non-sdlmame and official MAMEdev source file from this website: http://mamedev.org/release.html
Here is the 0.136 ebuild:

Within the mame0139s.zip source zip there is another zip called mame.zip. This contains all the source code. I wanted to work out a revised & working ebuild with the community before submitting anything to gentoo BugZilla or Gentoo Games team. Since the separate sdlmame package doesn't exist anymore, I was thinking a great name for the games-emulation tree entry would be simply game-emulation/mame.
Any thoughts and help is much appreciated. MAME is a great project and my main goal is to make sure all Gentoo users have access to the latest and greatest MAME packages!
Thank you!

Thanks NeddySeagoon! That was an extremely helpful link.
I updated the sdlmame ebuild to version 0.139 at this bug
Also qmc2, an spectacular MAME frontend, is updated to version 0.2.b16 at this bug
I have tested both of these on an AMD64 gentoo system and both build & install quite nicely.
One note, in qmc2 make sure the sdlmame executable is set to /usr/games/bin/sdlmame64 and everything should work fine.
For those who want to know more about the MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) project head over to this link |

* ERROR: games-emulation/qmc2-0.2_beta16 failed:
* make failed
*
* Call stack:
* ebuild.sh, line 54: Called src_compile
* environment, line 3087: Called die
* The specific snippet of code:
* emake ${FLAGS} || die "make failed"
is what the ebuild for qmc2 is giving me, how did you get it to compile on amd64?
edit: not sure if i have qt4 in seeing as im using fluxbox, guessing that is the culprit

Carps,
We need the build log file to see what broke.
The path to the log is given in the fail message you posted a part of.

have put qt4 and a few other things on, will see if that helps, i think it is the issue - will report back with info you require if it happens again
edit: it was because qt4 was missing, it compiled fine this time

Carps,
Please comment on the bug that qt4 is required and explain what you did to prove it.
The ebuild as is will work for users that have qt4 already but the ebuild should depend on it, so it gets pulled in if needed.

would having -kde in /etc/make.conf cause it not to pull in qt4? Only ask as i was testing various desktops on there yesterday, so the system wasn't clean to start off with, will test again with a clean system and post on the tracker, although i only have the one email address and don't like it being public, seems to show it on the tracker, so hesitant to do so.

Carps,
Nope. If a package requires qt4, its supposed to depend on it.
Setting -kde turns off optional support for KDE, in packages that have such an option.
It does not prevent dependencies for other packages being pulled in.
I thought you had to be logged in to see email addresses. I understand you not wanting to make your only email address public.
Maybe get a gmail address just for contributing to the open source community

yes i suppose one more isnt going to hurt, like i say i shall be installing gentoo onto my main pc later, if i can find out why chromium wont see flash on my x64 laptop, if needs be i can put 32bit gentoo on there as i only have 3gb of ram, but for main pc which has 8gb losing 5gb is a bit more than i would like to lose

Carps,
The new flash player, fixing the security issues is not available in 64 bit.
You need to use the 32 bit plugin with a wrapper.
I don't need flash, its just another security hole, so I don't have any more detail.
There have been so many security updates to flash over the years, I'm sure its not secure yet.
