Hi people.

Up until now I have been using the xmame packages from the PLF.

But I want the latest version now (0.92) instead of the one in the PLF (0.90).

Also I wanted to learn a bit more regarding compiling in general.

I have an athlon-XP 3000 and want to compile a version optimised for my CPU

I looked through the makefile and noticed there is a commented line which refers to athlon-xp.

Can anyone give me any ideas where to edit the CFlags options and what I should put (an examples would be helpful

Or is it a good idea to just use the makefile as it is (i.e does it somehow auto optimise for an Athlon-XP)?

Any advice will be greatful.

Cheers

Thanks for the responses,

I notice in the makefile.unix there are lines that have

CFLAGS =

Do i put all the optimisations in one line? , ie:-

CFLAGS = -pipe -march=athlon-xp -msse (..etc)

or can i put them on seperate lines, ie :-

CFLAGS += -msse
CFLAGS += -pipe
CFLAGS += (.....etc)

or does it not matter?

Cheers for any advice.

here's some lines from my 0.92's makefile.unix:

CC = gcc
HOST_CC = gcc
CFLAGS = -O2 -Wall -Wno-unused -mcpu=athlon-tbird
CFLAGS += -O2
CFLAGS += -pipe
CFLAGS += -fno-merge-constants
CFLAGS += -fomit-frame-pointer
CFLAGS += -ffast-math
CFLAGS += -fstrength-reduce
CFLAGS += -fexpensive-optimizations

So you see both works
