*** Install ***

Note for Xenial: Latest MAME requires GCC >= 7 to install and run. Also, some packages require FFmpeg >= 4.2 (ie. retroarch). The simplest way to handle both dependencies is to add the FFmpeg 4 PPA, which has a copy of GCC 7.5.0 (from ppa:savoury1/gcc-defaults-7). So follow these steps first:

  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:savoury1/ffmpeg4
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:savoury1/games
  sudo apt-get update

Note for all: If any game has a missing FFmpeg or multimedia dependency then run the above (ie. libfluidsynth3 needed by ScummVM is at the FFmpeg 4 PPA).

*** Build ***

This PPA has build dependencies on:

  ppa:savoury1/build-tools
  ppa:savoury1/backports
  ppa:savoury1/fonts
  ppa:savoury1/graphics
  ppa:savoury1/multimedia
  ppa:savoury1/python
  ppa:savoury1/inkscape

Additionally, for Xenial builds only:

  ppa:savoury1/gcc-defaults-7

Note: Only MAME builds use ppa:savoury1/{python,inkscape} PPAs, due a BD on python3-sphinxcontrib.svg2pdfconverter to create docs (and this Python package has a BD on inkscape). Neither PPA is required for installation.
