SDLMame and bare-bones debian
I have successfully installed a minimal Debian (etch)
I have now just taken the following steps with the goal of getting sdlmame compiled and running: Quote:

(!) DirectFB/FBDev: Error opening framebuffer device!
means just that - SDL is running on the framebuffer and obviously can't find it. As to why - dunno I am not familiar with sdlmame.Did you install sdl or only sdl-dev? Try installing libsdl1.2debian-all maybe that fixes it - looking at xmame sdl is listed as dependency. Or try this: http://apt.ludomatic.fr/?hl=en |
I went ahead and added the ludomatic repositories but their instructions didn't work for installing sdlmame. Perhaps because it doesn't exist in Etch?
So I installed libsdl1.2debian-all. It did install some additional stuff but I got the same errors when trying to run sdlmame! Quote:

Okay.. I installed gnome & x11 and can get sdlmame to work. However, that defeats the whole purpose of changing to Linux! I am wanting to run sdlMame in a mame cabinet and do not want a desktop environment!
What did installing x11 / gnome do that enabled me to run sdlmame? |
Nevermind. I'm going back to Windows for my mame cabinet. I just thought Linux would be able to handle it. My hardware was mostly made for Windows anyways.
Besides, for roughly 4 years, Debian has been knocking my hard drives upon shutdown causing corruption and eventually destroying them. I figured by now it would have been fixed. Oh well! |
