MAMEWorld Forums - MAMEUI & IV/Play - Re: MAMEUI64 157 compile error

I've redone all the steps once again, and this time ended up with my initial error: compilation starts with those weirds messages then resumes to crash some seconds later.

I do have the latest mingw and even downloaded it several times from mame site, the only source I've ever used to grab this tool as well as the correct way to install and use it. There are only two versions available: 32 and 64, both the latest, so it's impossible for me to download an older one from there. I downloaded the correct 64b one so mingw=check

My mame source tree is plain perfect: everything at the right place, how could it be differently? Unzipping and overlapping folders is automatic and vice free, provided you don't click shit when prompted. We can say it's possible to click shit once in a while, but I've redone the mame source tree at least twenty times. I'm french but not that french

. So mame source tree=check

All is done by the book, and has been done a number of times those past days, and still it changes nothing. I've carefully followed all your steps each time I swear it, fact is I already did those on myself before knocking at this forum door as it was an obvious step to troubleshoot (except the call mingw part which was new to me, I reckon). So mingw is the latest version 64b as needed and mame sourcetree is perfect. The two usual suspects are therefore innocent.

Compiling mame has worked for a year and up until .156 which I succesfully compiled and since then it's gone amok. I've moved nothing (at least until troubleshooting), changed nothing and the steps I follow are always the same easy steps: extract mame source then mameui over that, apply the diff I use (which I skipped here), double click my batch file and off I went until then.

Fact is I'm doing full circles around this weird bug for some times and this cycle has to be broken at some points. So the best thing to do I think is to call it a day and schedule a full reinstall of my system and we'll see from here. Thanks for your help redk9258, I really appreciate you took time for me.
