    Kanye West attacks good ol George...

    hmmmmmm why do u say that  because he is opionated or is it because he is a rapper or is it because he is black that he's not important?

     

     

    I say that because he invokes an unoriginal, narccistic, and racist opinion. I think America will decide it needs Kanye as much as it needs the KKK.

    Yeah, but the KKK never put out a music CD (Though it'd be hilarious if they did). Thing is, simply because he is a popular musical artist, there will be douches out there that follow every word he speaks, so I really don't think that the same people'll just throw him out.

      People are saying that they've been screwed for their race and class, that they've been ignored as far as rescues and supplies go, and until further notice, I agree with them.  I'm not seeing white upper class citizens down there.

    Uh, duh. The upper class was rich enough to move their asses out of there before the storm hit. Doesn't mean it's racism though. The truth is that a majority of lower class citizens are minorities. So the people who couldn't afford to move just happened to be black. It's a coincidence, not some racist consipricy.

    Alright, well I installed the version of MinGW that Mr. Do tells me to, and it starts compiling just fine. And then after like 7 minutes, it just errors with every file it trys to read.

     

    Here's a screenshot of some of the compile error, most of it had to be cut off because it was racing so fast through the errors and then immediately shuts down (My computer automatically shuts down command prompts after they've expired, and unlike a lot of computers, I don't have the option to turn that off): http://dooz.thebmp.org/images/compileerror.jpg

     

    Ugh, it's just one problem after another. Really sucks when you're flying through this blindly.

     

    Edit: Apperantly, it just gets stuck on wind3d.c. Would there be any way to fix that?

    Okay, I can't read, it seems. I skipped this part, I guess, when screwing up the first time:

    With systems that don't use startup files (such as Windows NT, 2000 or XP), you can instead type edit c:\mingw\mingw.bat and write SET PATH=%PATH%;c:\mingw\bin into it. You'll have to run this file (simply type c:\mingw\mingw to run it) before being able to use MinGW.

    So I did that. I went into the command prompt, went to the mame folder, I typed "c:\mingw\mingw" and hit enter, like it said to. This popped up: 

    C:\MINGW\MAME>SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\;C:\PROGRA~1\BACKBU~1\;c:\mingw\bin

    I then typed make, and same thing happens: Nothing. It still doesn't recognise the command "make". I don't know what to do.

     

    And when I went into Environment variables, I tried making make a command by just putting C:\MINGW\BIN as the value, but that also did nothing.

     

    EDIT: I went to Mr. Do's compiling page, and he said to add "mingw32-make" two lines under "SET PATH=%PATH%;c:\mingw\bin" in the mingw.bat file. Running this file make it say 

    C:\MINGW\MAME>SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\;C:\PROGRA~1\BACKBU~1\;c:\mingw\bin


C:\MINGW\MAME>mingw32-make
Compiling src/machine/segacrpt.c...
cc1.exe: Invalid option '-Wno-unused-funtions'
cc1.exe: Invalid option '-Wdisabled-functions'
cc1.exe: unknown C standard 'gnu99'
mingw32-make: *** [obj/mame/machine/segacrpt.o] Error1

    And then it stops. Another error to get confused by.

    Okay. Please bear with me, becuase I probobly am screwing up a whole lot, sicne I don't know what to do.

     

    I want to learn how to compile my own build of MAME. So I went here and tried to follow the directions: http://www.mame.net/compilewin.html. But I have a problem; The tutorial is made for Windows 98 users and not Windows XP users. Because of that, my windows does not have a c:\windows\command folder, and even when I create one it does nothing. And so I cannot use the unzip command in the command prompt.

     

    Since I couldn't do that, I just unzipped everything with WinRAR, and hoped that everything would work fine by unzipping that way. Well, I can't tell if it works fine, because I can't set up my MingW correctly because my autoexec.bat file is completely empty. I can't put the line of text where they tell me to, becuase there is nothing in there.

     

    "Okay," I thought. "This is really flocking annoying." But I still continued my misguided adventure. My last idea was to open the make.exe file in the command prompt and try to see if maybe any command extentions would work. Whenever I do "make.exe -C C:\MINGW\MAME\" it tells me that there isn't a makefile in that folder, despite the fact that I am looking at it, and "make.exe -f C:\MINGW\MAME\makefile" just lists files that I can also see and tell me that those don't exist.

     

    My questions are: What the hell am I missing? What am I doing wrong? Can I fix anything to make it work right? Should my autoexec.bat file be completely empty? Why is the sky blue?

     

    Thanks for reading my lenghty story of hardship and incompetence, and thanks for trying to help me out. I can't tell you how annoyed and spent I am from trying to figure out what's wrong.
