yes if not set the biendian it will not build . but i have the feeling the issue is here ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_ARCH),ppc64) PTR64=1
i didnt set it because ubuntu on ppc is 32bit, kernels only are 64bit. and this make issue on libsdl too. we are waiting the 64bit migration like is on fedora an suse that are full 64bit (kernel and os) I suggest to set PTR64=0 on ppc64 too like on powerpc I forget to mention before, my machine is a ppc64 e5500 P5020 Luigi -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1598371 Title: mame 0.174 problems with input on Big Endian To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mame/+bug/1598371/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
