There are gcc-9.2.0 packages for 14.2 -here: - -http://slackware.uk/slackware/unsupported/gcc-9.2.0-for-Slackware-14.2/ - -Make sure you read the README, then download the gcc-9.2.0 and -gcc-g++-9.2.0 .txz packages for your architecture (you won't need the -other languages such as fortran and go). Before installing them, remove -your stock gcc and gcc-g++ packages with: - -# removepkg gcc gcc-g++ - -(You don't have to remove the other languages such as gcc-fortran here) - -Install the gcc packages you just downloaded: - -# installpkg gcc-*9.2.0*.txz - -Then you can download the newer mame source from: - -https://github.com/mamedev/mame/releases/ - -You want the source code (filename such as mame0217.tar.gz).

If all goes well, you should have a -shiny new mame package in /tmp, which you can install with installpkg -or upgradepkg. - -After the build finishes, you should revert your gcc and g++ packages -back to the standard Slackware ones. You can do this with: - -# removepkg gcc gcc-g++ -# slackpkg install 'gcc-*' - -Notes: - -- Do not ask for help with this via the SlackBuilds.org mailing list.

Watson, yalhcru@gmail.com) - directly via email, or on Freenode IRC as user Urchlay. - -- I may not test every mame release with gcc-9.2.0. 0.217 definitely - works, future releases *probably* will. When Slackware 15.0 is - released, things should get back to normal. - -- The README for this build states that mame compiles require around - 3.5GB in /tmp. For 0.217, this number is more like 4.5GB. - -- There is an llvm-8.0.1 in 14.2's /extra. Although the mame documentation - claims that this version of llvm is supported, I can't get mame to - compile with it. |
