Link failed with latest GitHub source of MAME

[wyatt-wong]

I downloaded the latest GitHub source of MAME using the following command in macOS Sonoma 14.6.1

https://github.com/mamedev/mame

However, whenever I build the source, I received the following error:

I am already using the latest Xcode 15.4 Build version 15F31d

You have existing generated project files, and the build system doesn’t automatically detect added files to regenerate the project files. You can touch makefile or add REGENIE=1 to force it to regenerate the project files.

Add REGENIE=1 to where ?

And which is to blame in this problem ? GitHub ? or the source code ? It would be nice if the makefile is automatically updated by itself. How would I know the makefile was OUTDATED ?

The basic approacah is always "git clone XXXX", "git pull" and "make"

You should assume the makefile is outdated and use REGENIE=1 every time you pull new code. We all do.

I didn't see it was mention in the build instruction.

What add REGENIE=1 to where ?

And when you said "we". what is it referrring ? Does "we" refers to the developers or contributators of MAME ? But I am neither of it. I simply want to build the latest macOS version of MAME since every new binary release did NOT include macOS.

[wyatt-wong]

Oh. I found this:

drivers sources are added, removed, or renamed, the project files need

21 | to be regenerated. You can do this by adding REGENIE=1 to the
22 | make arguments, or updating the modification time of the makefile (for
 
27 | chdman, add a TOOLS=1 to your make command, like
28 | make REGENIE=1 TOOLS=1
