Has anyone compiled mGB from source succesfully?

I tried a few times, but always get a lot of errors.
Seems like it should be compiled with GBDK-n.
Are there diffrent versions of this, or something like that?

https://github.com/trash80/mGB

(*I tried to contact trash80 about that a few weeks ago, but didn't get any answer.)

I tried it just now and got it to compile. I'm on macOS and used http://brew.sh for installing sdcc (the C compiler needed for gbdk-n).

Code:

# Install sdcc (C compiler gbz80)
brew install sdcc

# Clone the repo to your machine
git clone https://github.com/trash80/mGB.git
cd mGB

# Init submodule and compile gbdk-n
git submodule init
cd gbdk-n
make

# Compile the source for mGB
cd ../Source
make

Wow, thanks a lot!

I will try this later and reply if it all worked out well!

Everything is fine now - it all worked out in Linux.
In old Windows I usually use I couldn't get it to work. But that's ok.

Thanks again for your help.

I recognized one more Problem. I always get a NoMBC 32KB ROM instead of a MBC1 64KB ROM. That causes some problems of course.
Any ideas?

Really a strange thing. Never had that kind of problems before.

I'm not using this software myself, so I don't know what the produced ROM should be like. But to build a ROM with the specifics you ask for you should update line 18 of the Makefile, so it reads like this:

Code:

$(BIN)/gbdk-n-make-rom.sh -ya 4 -yo 4 -yt 2 -yn MGB $(OBJ)/mgb.ihx mgb.gb

Don't know if that solves your problems, though. What are they?
