Windows Development Package

For developer convenience, and because Windows source code distributions can be tricky to compile due to the lack of compiler and package installation standardizations on the Windows platform, a Windows development package is distributed here.

The Windows development package consists of:

A Windows 32-bit or 64-bit libmame DLL: libmame.dll
A Windows def file: libmame.def
A header file: libmame.h

NOTE: Not available just yet, sorry!

Linux Development Package

Because each Linux distribution manages packaged software differently, and maintains its own software repositories for easy end-user installation, Linux pre-built development packages are not available here. Instead, you should check your Linux distribution for the libmame package. If your distribution doesn't have one, please consider making one, submitting it for inclusion in your distribution, and letting me know!
