| Summary | 03052: make: emit mamevers.rc fails with "error -99" | ||||
| Description |
To my knowledge, I have the official build tools recently downloaded and in working order. The following happens (after a long while): Emitting obj/windows/mame/osd/windows/mamevers.rc... MAKE.EXE: *** [obj/windows/mame/osd/windows/mamevers.rc] Error -99Long version: output from make -d (where make.exe is simply a copy of mingw32-make.exe):
Must remake target `obj/windows/mame/osd/windows/mamevers.rc'.

Removing child 0x00b551d0 PID 11910432 from chain.
Investigation: sh -c "obj/windows/mame/build/verinfo.exe -b windows src/version.c"does produce output on stdout. sh -c "obj/windows/mame/build/verinfo.exe -b windows src/version.c > testout"does NOT produce file testout. Perhaps sh returns "Error -99", however the DOS environment does not show this, and mingw does not appear to feature an interactive shell environment? Trying DOS instead, obj\windows\mame\build\verinfo -b windows src/version.c >obj\windows\mame\osd\windows\mamevers.rcdoes produce "mamevers.rc" properly. After this manual workaround, my build can continue successfully. |

I'll leave this for Aaron or another competent Dev to comment on. That "Error -99" is not a new thing and has happened for some time, specifically for Window 98 users. There is a discussion about how to address this here: http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Number=153539 |

Yeah it's a Win9x issue - attached is a patch I made to bypass the problem. patch -p0 -E <mamevers_fix.diff |

I don't think there is any more Win9x support since unicows was removed. |
