attempt to call a nil value (global 'define')

[Arbars]

Hi there!

Trying to build MAME for Linux.
GENie from 3rdparty bundle
GCC10
Make 4.3

Build output:

• ./bin/linux/genie embed
  ...src/RPM/BUILD/mame-0245/3rdparty/genie/scripts/genie.lua:80: attempt to call a nil value (global 'define')
  stack traceback:
  ...src/RPM/BUILD/mame-0245/3rdparty/genie/scripts/genie.lua:80: in main chunk
  [C]: in upvalue 'builtin_dofile'
  [string "premake = { }..."]:109: in function 'dofile'
  [string "_WORKING_DIR = os.getcwd()..."]:46: in function '_premake_main'

Maybe I missing something?

What’s your full make command? What Linux distro is this? Are you building from a path containing any characters that could be interpreted by the shell?

Distro: ALT Workstation K P10

Well, I'm just trying to use list of flags from Fedora spec file:

NOWERROR=1 \
--
  | OPTIMIZE=2 \
  | PYTHON_EXECUTABLE=python3 \
  | VERBOSE=1 \
  | USE_SYSTEM_LIB_EXPAT=1 \
  | USE_SYSTEM_LIB_FLAC=1 \
  | USE_SYSTEM_LIB_GLM=1 \
  | USE_SYSTEM_LIB_JPEG=1 \
  | USE_SYSTEM_LIB_PORTAUDIO=1 \
  | USE_SYSTEM_LIB_PORTMIDI=1 \
  | USE_SYSTEM_LIB_PUGIXML=1 \
  | USE_SYSTEM_LIB_RAPIDJSON=1 \
  | USE_SYSTEM_LIB_SQLITE3=1 \
  | USE_SYSTEM_LIB_UTF8PROC=1 \
  | USE_SYSTEM_LIB_ZLIB=1 \
  | SDL_INI_PATH="%{_sysconfdir}/%{name};" \
  | TOOLS=1 \
  | OPT_FLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" \
  | LDOPTS="$RPM_LD_FLAGS"

But I got those error. After that I just rewrite list and error is gone. I think in our distro building with python3 is not possible...
My List:

make OPTIMISE="%optflags" \
    $MAME_FLAGS \
    TOOLS=1 \
    NOWERROR=1 \
    ARCHOPTS=-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE \
    USE_SYSTEM_LIB_ASIO=1 \
    USE_SYSTEM_LIB_EXPAT=1 \
    USE_SYSTEM_LIB_FLAC=1 \
    USE_SYSTEM_LIB_GLM=1 \
    USE_SYSTEM_LIB_JPEG=1 \
    USE_SYSTEM_LIB_PORTAUDIO=1 \
    USE_SYSTEM_LIB_PORTMIDI=1 \
    USE_SYSTEM_LIB_RAPIDJSON=1 \
    USE_SYSTEM_LIB_SQLITE3=1 \
    USE_SYSTEM_LIB_UTF8PROC=1 \
    USE_SYSTEM_LIB_ZLIB=1

Most of the build scripts require Python 3 at this point – PYTHON_EXECUTABLE is set to python3 by default in makefile at line 445.
