Compiling the Source Code:
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
Well, for the moment, zsnes source may be a little hard to compile. Here
|
|
is a quick guide (based on my own experience and on a doc written by zsKnight)
|
|
explaining how to compile zsnes. With these tools, I can build both dos and
|
|
win version, I hope it will also work for you
|
|
|
|
|
|
First, you need the following software:
|
|
|
|
Dos port :
|
|
- NASM v0.98 : http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/devel/nasm/
|
|
the version found on http://nasm.2y.net/ DOES NOT WORK
|
|
with zsnes sources. When you type nasm -r, you must get
|
|
'NASM version 0.98' and not 'NASM version 0.98.08' if you
|
|
have the correct version
|
|
- DJGPP v2 or higher, (GCC also installed) : http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/
|
|
using the zip picker, the default choices are ok if you
|
|
check C and C++ in the programming languages. You also need
|
|
to get zlib which is available with the full distribution
|
|
of djgpp. You can get it at :
|
|
ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2tk/zlib112b.zip
|
|
|
|
Then to build the executable, go to the src directory and type:
|
|
make -f makefile.dos
|
|
|
|
You may also want to compress zsnes.exe with upx (http://upx.sourceforge.net),
|
|
it will divide its size by 10.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Windows port :
|
|
- GNU Make : it comes with djgpp
|
|
- NASM v0.98 : http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/devel/nasm/
|
|
- MSVC++ 6.0 or higher : not freely available, you'll have to buy it
|
|
You need to run VCVARS32.BAT. If you get an
|
|
out of environment space error, type 'command /e:32768'
|
|
(to create a new command.com entity with more
|
|
environment space)
|
|
- DX8.0 SDK or higher : you can get it at microsoft.com. It is quite big.
|
|
Also, edit makefile.win to set the correct path to your
|
|
SDK. I also had some problems with vc++ using its own
|
|
(old) directx headers instead of the sdk headers. I replaced
|
|
these old headers (in the include directory of vc++ dir)
|
|
with the newer ones.
|
|
- zlib : http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/zlib/
|
|
you need the Win9x/WinNT static library (the dll version
|
|
doesn't seem to work with zsnes). Rename the static version
|
|
to zlib.lib and put it somewhere where vc++ will find it
|
|
(for example, the lib directory in vc++ dir).
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to set the correct path to the directx sdk in makefile.win!
|
|
Then to build the executable, go to the src directory and type:
|
|
make -f makefile.win
|
|
|
|
You may also want to compress zsnesw.exe with upx (http://upx.sourceforge.net),
|
|
it will divide its size by 10.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Linux port:
|
|
I assume the standard development tools are installed (gcc, make, ...)
|
|
You'll also need :
|
|
- SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) : check www.libsdl.org to grab SDL 1.2.0 or
|
|
later. If you are using rpm packages, don't
|
|
forget the -devel package.
|
|
- NASM v0.98 : http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/devel/nasm/
|
|
the version found on http://nasm.2y.net/ DOES NOT WORK
|
|
with zsnes sources. When you type nasm -r, you must get
|
|
'NASM version 0.98' and not 'NASM version 0.98.08' if you
|
|
have the correct version
|
|
- zlib : http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/zlib/
|
|
it is probably already installed on your
|
|
system, maybe you are just missing the
|
|
development headers. Check in the
|
|
packages available with your distribution
|
|
or go to the page above
|
|
- libpng : http://www.libpng.org/
|
|
You might also need libpng, ZSNES will compile without
|
|
PNG support but I have found doing so to make ZSNES
|
|
unstable for some weird reason. If you don't have
|
|
libpng, either get it and install it or pass the
|
|
--without-png option to the 'configure' script.
|
|
|
|
Then to build the executable, go to the src directory and type:
|
|
./configure && gmake && gmake install
|
|
|
|
Note: you require root to install zsnes to the the default (/usr/local/*)
|
|
directory
|
|
|
|
Also Note: libpng (optional) needs to be recent, or zsnes will not use it
|
|
|
|
You may also want to compress the zsnes executable with upx
|
|
(http://upx.sourceforge.net), it will divide its size by 10.
