MAMEdev MAME Installation Script Broken

bluestang

I have tried running the install script for MAMEdev in the experimental packages and it will not compile for me using the "Install From Source" option. I'm getting an error about 14-16 min into the install using the script. See Pastebin for error.

However, if I install/compile manually using the MAMEdev "Master" git (default) - it compiles/installs just fine but without being included into RetroPie...

Setting a manual file swap does not help. As per above, it appears to me that the script is the problem...

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.

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