I am trying to complile ZNES. I got a segmentation fault when I ran make, so I ran make -d. Below is the info I got right before my error. Could someone help me out?
Thanks
Andy

I got the same error today , anyone have any ideas? :| thanks

Have you tried getting a different version of the package? That may solve the problem.

yeah, just used swaret and got the i686 version from linuxpackages. Worked like a charm. Thanks ;x

That's good to hear. I've noticed that a lot packages are fubared, whether they be rpms, debs and sometimes even source. So when things don't work on the compile, I usually try a different package first. I really don't know why the packages are messed up in the first place though.

wasn't the question about compiling zsnes?

I am trying to compile the wip version and am getting the same error I have also tried compiling the original version and I get the same error every time
some ACTUAL help would be appreaciated

DaWallace, try to be more polite. This forum is a previlege to use and some ACTUAL help were made, with alternatives. Some programs simply won't compile, that's the true. It could be for several reasons, like version of dependencies or location of dependencies. Heck, it could even be a little bug on the source-code... In fact, zsnes is a hard program to compile, even the author says that and also clarifies that it will be like that for a while. (Read the README).

So, since you did not create the thread, when jumping into one when somebody is trying to help others, at least be polite, or post a new thread...

Well, I'm sorry I didn't answer your question directly but apparently getting a packaged version helped cynar so maybe you should try getting the package from swaret (you're using slackware, correct?). Segfaults tend to be hard to solve, and I myself have never attempted to compile this particular package. However, there is some kind of file not found error near the top, so maybe you don't have all the files you need to compile the program. Also, there may be processor incompatibilites with some of the assembly code.

sorry... just somewhat annoyed....
and hearing someone say "get the binary package" is even more annoying

but unfortunately that my be the only way to go.....
but I did get it to compile a few months ago...
this whole thing doesn't make a lot of sense...

I've worked into tha wee hours of the morning and I solved the problem...
but it still doesn't make any sense...

for some reason "make" didn't work out well, but typing "gmake" did and it compiled without a hitch.
this strikes me as kind of odd so if anybody could provide me with any insight as to why this would be
it would be much appreaciated

gmake doesn't work any better for me than make does.

I got the CVS version and I still get the same error:

Has anyone else successfully compiled ZSNES 1.36 for Linux?

Also, I tried swaret and it couldn't find anything for zsnes. LinuxPackages has nothing either, only SNES9X.

Your help is appreciated!

Can you point me in the direction of the package and I'm going to try to compile it and see what happens. Maybe after I get some experience with I can help. However, I'll be compiling the program on a Mandrake box, so there may be some differences there.

Anyway, I'll give it a shot.

did we abandon this subject or what? i still need help compiling zsnes too

I used this version:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/z...s136src.tar.gz

The ZSNES site is www.zsnes.com

Good luck! Thanks for trying.

Okay thats the file im using "zsnes136src.tar.gz", I can get past "./configure" :

You may now run make to compile zsnes
Make sure you use GNU make when compiling.


But once i start "gmake" it fails :


/usr/bin/nasm -w-orphan-labels -D__LINUX__ -f elf -DELF -D__OPENGL__ -o cpu/addrni.o cpu/addrni.asm
gmake: *** [cpu/addrni.o] Segmentation fault
gmake: *** Deleting file `cpu/addrni.o'


Any ideas anyone?
