Compiling advancemenu plus?

[cori2099]

Hi everyone, Just wondering if anyone has had any luck compiling advancemenu plus. Ive got a advancemenu setup running at the moment. But was looking at advancemenu plus and there are a few feature that sound great. Any help would be appreciated. btw, I have only tried ./configure, and make. the Makefile scares me.
Thanks in advance

Welcome to the Forum! Seems to compile ok (just tested). Make sure your GPU Memory Split is low as to prevent exceeding RAM limits (64 should be adequate). Next be sure you have the SDL Library installed

Type - sudo apt-get update (to make sure you have access to the latest repo lists)
Then - sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev

Download the correct Source Code

Extract , 'CD' into the Folder, then it should be as simple as
./configure
make

Then you can either -
1. Run it straight from the folder
Type - ./advmenup
2. Install it
Type - sudo make install
Then just Type - advmenup

Hope that helps!

its running in a gutted snes (original, i know lol), Running SMS, Megadrive, NES, SNES games. all matching artwork etc. its pretty nice, Although id really like to split the artwork up between emulators, ie: different backgrounds, fonts etc. So the little tutorial helped alot. Cheers
