MAMEWorld Forums - EmuChat - Problem compiling MAME

Hey guys,

I have been trying for over a week to compile mame and although i've had some success I am still going through a few problems that I find perplexing and would like the input of someone who might be more experienced then myself in this task.

Long story short after a few failed attempts I started using quickmame.exe to compile mame. I managed to sucessfully compile versions 0.145 to 0.147 but in all of them I have the same problem. I get an ACCESS VIOLATION when trying to start MAME in windowed mode. Either using the command line option to start in windowed or using alt+enter to switch to window mode at runtime.
Here is an example of the stack trace of the error.

Code:

About a year ago or so I managed to compile version 0.144 successfully and without window mode problems and so I tried compiling it again thinking that maybe this is a problem with recent versions of mame. I haven't been able to compile using the commandline MinGW, but it does compile with quickmame, however when running it, it complains that it lacks libc++-6.dll. Any ideas on what I can do to solve any of these problems because I'm going nuts.

Thank you.
