Summary	06016: Document dependencies required to build Mame.
Description	I attempt to compile the source code from GIT, but I fail to figure out the dependencies required. I have loaded over 195 packages regarding QT4 and QT5, of which 24 have 'dev' in their names and/or description. This is on a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Trusty Thar system, 64 bits. $ dpkg -l \| fgrep 'qt' \| wc -l 195 $ dpkg -l \| fgrep 'qt' \| fgrep 'dev' \| wc -l 24 The packages include qtlocation5-dev and qt4-default. I am not a C/C++ developer, so I am not familiar with the regular dependencies required for a QT project. It would be great if for major distributions such as Ubuntu, the list of dependencies be documented in the README.md file, or better a shell script be provided with the code to install all the required dependencies. Following is the error I never got resolved and for which I still have not find the missing dependency. $ make Compiling src/osd/modules/debugger/debugqt.c... ../../../../../src/osd/modules/debugger/debugqt.c:22:23: fatal error: QtGui/QtGui: No such file or directory #include <QtGui/QtGui> ^ compilation terminated. make[2]: * [../../../../linux_gcc/obj/x64/Release/osd_sdl/src/osd/modules/debugger/debugqt.o] Error 1 make[1]: * [osd_sdl] Error 2 make: *** [linux_x64] Error 2

I still cannot compile MAME; I have the same error as reported earlier. $ apt-get install build-essential subversion libsdl1.2-dev libgtk2.0-dev libgconf2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev gcc-4.6 g++-4.6 $ apt-get install libqt4-* $ apt-get install -y libsdl2-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libasound2-dev libqt4-dev libqt4-dev-bin $ add-apt-repository ppa:zoogie/sdl2-snapshots -y $ add-apt-repository ppa:shahar-evron/qt-backports -y $ apt-get update -qq W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/shahar-evron/qt-backports/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/shahar-evron/qt-backports/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found E: Some index files failed to download.

No.11982 Robbbert Senior Tester Aug 21, 2015, 01:58	I tend to agree. It should be discussed on the SDLMAME forum. http://forums.bannister.org/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=8&page=1
