Can't compile MAME???
#375716 - 04/19/18 12:58 AM


After hitting an error, I redownloaded the MAME compile tools and I'm still getting the same error:

$ make -j4 TOOLS=1 SEPARATE_BIN=1 PTR64=1 OPTIMIZE=3 SYMBOLS=1 SYMLEVEL=1 STRIP_SYMBOLS=1 REGENIE=1
GCC detected
makefile:963: *** Python is not available in path. Stop.


Any thoughts on what I need to do to remedy this? Is it just a Win32 PATH issue? I just want to recompile the latest source so Puzz Loop has sound again before waiting for 0.197.

you can try my simple compiling scripts (there are instructions, what to do):

The error says it can not find python. Python is required to build it. If you are using the mingw standard dev on windows you should be able to add in the PYTHON_EXECUTABLE=C:/python/python.exe parameter to your make build. Assuming that is where python is installed. Been awhile and someone else can chime in but I think the mingw setup has a python executable in there somewhere. Something like PYTHON_EXECUTABLE=c:/msys64/mingw64/bin/python.exe

You could try "pacman -Syu" over your build tools, e.g over D:\mysys64>pacman -Syu
