Since it can be that some of configuration file have altered, first pull latest from root of your tools:

git pull




don't work

maybe before execute the command i must change working directory?

Yeah I'm not crazy about the instructions, because just below that is this ...


Quote:


Important thing is to setup your git environment first


Code:

git config --global core.autocrlf true






So, you should do this first.

I have the same issue as Pucci.
Just done a fresh MSYS64 install in a new win10 machine.
gone through every step as per mamedev page, vanilla setting.

Code:

[MINGW64] C:\msys64\src>git pull
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git


This is the error I get
Checking hidden directories, there is no .git in C:\msys64

At the same time I have no problem in pulling mame source code and compiling it, and updating it. Obviously there is hidden .git in C:\msys64\src\mame

Thanks in advance for your precious help.

micko you are right! my fault
i had 1st of January version and not 4th of January version

now all problem gone

i have few other questions:
- what are the best optimization option for GCC? -o3?
- how it works option -j3? (it's not documented in GCC docs)
- can i invoce a "batch file" from msys console?

I'm using msys64-2016-01-04.exe install package.
The issue still stands.

Any help?
TIA


EDIT:
I solved the problem!
I had to restart from msys64-2016-01-04.exe installation package, installing it with "Run As Administrator" privilege.
Now the hidden .git directory is there, and "git pull" has just done its job correctly.

I just unzip it with 7-zip to get all of that.
