Error when compiling 0.159

Hello all! I'm new to the forum and new to compiling MAME. Today I went through MrDo's tutorial on compiling mame, unfortunately, it keeps failing. I was trying to add in the high score patch and some artwork at first, but then just tried to compile the basic source files from MAME to see if it work. No luck there either. The error I get when it fails compiling is:
Code:
...
Compiling src/emu/cpu/m68000/m68kmake.c...
Compiling src/version.c...
Compiling src/mame/mame.c...
Building driver list src/mame/mame.lst...
'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
makefile:1017: recipe for target 'obj/windows64/mame/mame/drivlist.c' failed
make: *** [obj/windows64/mame/mame/drivlist.c] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
Any idea what this might be resulting from? Thanks in advance!

I think that guide is outdated. Do you have the new tools from MAMEDev.org?

And this is why it's a bad idea to trust tutorials on t3h Interwebz. Even if they don't contain bad advice to begin with, they become outdated quickly. Latest official instructions from MAMEdev are here: http://mamedev.org/?p=402

I was afraid of that. I looked at the new tools, but there wasn't much in the way of documentation (or I've overlooked it some how). I'll take another look. Thanks.

I'm using the older tools, but did initially download the new tools. I just didn't find the documentation on how to use the new tools? Thanks!

I think you need WITH THE OLD TOOLS:
Code:
set path=c:\mingw\mingw64-w64\bin;c:\mingw\mingw64-w64\opt\bin;%PATH%
for enabling the PYTHON interpreter, which is the error you got.
The new tools are quite different, there's no a tutorial yet.

I'll give that a try. Thanks! I'm going to attempt to wrap my head around the new tools, but I'm less optimistic about that happening.

That page recommends downloading horribly outdated tools, and it's been the source of many people's compiling problems. Also, it's the epitome of avoiding understanding what you're doing. It harms more than it helps.

Didn't know that. I was just trying to give the guy another option. I use the normal command line to recompile.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did take a look at it, and didn't have much luck either. I do appreciate you taking the time to make a recommendation.

I do prefer to learn a about what is actually going on, so I would like to learn to use the new MAME tools. I may also play around with Visual Studio, since I use it at work from time to time.

It's really simple as downloading the new tools.
run buildtools.bat
Put MAME source in src directory
run cmder and type *make all -j5* OR *make all TARGET=mess -j5*

Oh wow. I assumed there was much more than that. Awesome. What if you want to patch with diff files? Thanks for the info!
