MAMEdev MAME Installation Script Broken

mitu

It's an upstream issue - was fixed in the MAME repository (see https://mametesters.org/view.php?id=7687).

@mitu Understood, but I don't see the commit under the 222 branch in their Github that fixed the asmjit issue.

The current script downloads the latest branch which is not the most up to date source...why not just compile from the master branch instead?

Thanks for the quick response.

Because MAME offers tagged releases and they're matched to the corresponding ROM collection version.

and really, you don't want to be doing the install from source on a pi4 for MAME - it takes ~8 hours to build only the arcade drivers (presumably the default of installing arcade + MESS takes much longer), only to end up with the same binary as you get when installing via binary.

Compilation of the lr-mame experimental package is failing for me (x64). Would this be related to the same issue?

@johnodon impossible to say without a log and more info.

I've been poking around trying to find the logfile. Any hints? :)

@johnodon ~/RetroPie-Setup/logs - they are gzip compressed. Can decompress relevant one and put on a pastebin site. Please start a new topic.

This is the last error I see before the script exited:

@johnodon you ran out of memory. Increase your system swap maybe or build with

sudo MAKEFLAGS=-j1 ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh

Or -j2 maybe. (Number of threads).

I didn't even have a swapfile. :-\

Created one and retrying.

Thanks @BuZz. Sorry for hijacking.

Completed successfully.

So the Libretro team updated lr-mame to v222 and I tried installing from binary and v220 was installed...and then I compiled from source and it was v222 but it errors out when trying to play a rom.

So what is the binary source for lr-mame?

And the compile time for the latest v222 source was somewhere about 3 hours.

On the PI systems, probably the source when it was last compiled - 21 May, lr-mame using 0.220 upstream.

And the compile time for the latest v222 source was somewhere about 3 hours.

On a Pi ? I highly doubt it.

My point is something is broken again with the lr-mame because I know that compiling from source for lr-mame and/or mamedev is about 6-8 hrs on a Pi4

lr-mame should be fine - when did you try to install it from source ?

bluestang

@mitu last night - Here is the install log - https://pastebin.com/h8mxUE7n

132/132 projects (line 1942) seems rather low compared to previous compiles I've done in the past.

mitu

@bluestang I don't see an error in the log, I'm not sure what's the error ?

bluestang

@mitu let me clarify my issue:

compiling lr-mame is fine - no issues as you can see from the install log, albeit the number of projects seems lower than usual.

However, when I try to start a rom with lr-mame it errors out. Unfortunately, I do not have the log for the exact error. I got carried away with trying to clean out old files and the log file with error accidentally got deleted.

The only way to reproduce the error on my end will be to re-compile lr-mame again. I'll post that log if I can later today.

So that is why I also asked the question about the latest compiled binary earlier, because I was under the impression that the binary would have been recompiled with the new v222 mame source files. (i.e. - like the librtro nighty builds)
