GNOME Video Arcade has a few external dependencies which need to be
installed prior to compiling the source code:
- - sdlmame or xmame
+ - mame or xmame
These may be available as pre-compiled packages from your
GNU/Linux distribution. If not, you can download and compile
the source code yourself.
- sdlmame: http://rbelmont.mameworld.info/?page_id=163
- xmame: http://x.mame.net/
+ I recommend mame (formerly sdlmame) over xmame. The mame project
