Compiling MAME issue - wpc_an
#315389 - 10/05/13 06:39 PM


Hi,

Is there a better place than this to post a compiling issue?

The wpc_an driver has been updated recently by barryrod.

There is an included file listed in the wpc_an.c source file that may have a typo in the file name. Line 10 indicates that an include file named "wpc_an.lh" should be included. I haven't been able to find that file anywhere. I don't know exactly when this include got changed last, it may have been several svn revisions ago, but after v0.150 was released.

One might assume the include file should be "wpc_an.h", but I can't find that file either.

If I comment out line 10, a problem occurs on line 473 where "layout_wpc_an" hasn't been defined yet, probably dependent on the missing include file.

Of course, I can comment out line 473 too, just to get it to compile, but at that point I wouldn't bother trying to run that driver.

I may be mistaken but any include that looks for ".lh" actually looks for a proper layout file (lh = layout header). So, the "wpc_an.lay" is the file it is actually including. You can also see it by looking under the layout dependencies for wpc_an - notice too driver section earlier in the file as well, an object file referencing the pinball.a (archive) file in your OBJ folder.

In any case, I see no compile error with current SVN and using default GCC version 4.6.2.

@Tafoid,

Thanks for your kind response. Your recollection about the .lh files was accurate.
