Bug was gcc related, looks like gcc 4.4 can no longer be invoked with the same set of packages and in natty default compiler is gcc 4.5.
I had to wait the new upstream release, which fixes a couple of bugs in variable handling that were revealed with the default optimizations of gcc 4.5. This is the updated debian.tar.gz, a recent build is available on my ppa, the only difference being the release version in debian/changelog: https://edge.launchpad.net/~c.falco/+archive/ppa/+packages Thanks, Cesare. ** Attachment added: "mame_0.141-0ubuntu1.debian.tar.gz" https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mame/+bug/671358/+attachment/1783306/+files/mame_0.141-0ubuntu1.debian.tar.gz ** Summary changed: - [upgrade] New upstream release 0.140 + [upgrade] New upstream release 0.141 ** Changed in: mame (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed ** Changed in: mame (Ubuntu) Assignee: Cesare Falco (c.falco) => (unassigned) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/671358 Title: [upgrade] New upstream release 0.141 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
