Ability to compile mame

[don999]

Hi!

I think one should try out the binary package from deb-multimedia.org. There you can find mame version 0.168 for the sid distribution. Maybe this package works with Knoppix 7.6.0, too.

Since the source of mame 0.168 deb package is also available there you could read the build description of the package in order to find out which additional packages are to be installed on Knoppix 7.6.0 or if there is any conflicting package which make it nearly impossible to compile mame 0.168.

Thanks for all of your suggestions. Two of my favorite things are knoppix and mame. Someone awhile back put out something called "knoppixmame" but that hasn't been updated for a long time.

I didn't know about deb-multimedia.org, so I'll give it a try.

I had some problems with knoppix 7.5 with using synaptic and updating packages and got a little discouraged.
