Compiling the Source Code:
--------------------------
Well, for the moment, zsnes sources 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.cryogen.com/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.tsx.org), it will
divide its size by 10.
Windows port :
- GNU Make : it comes with djgpp
- NASM v0.98 : http://nasm.2y.net/ or http://www.cryogen.com/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)
- DX7.0 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). Name the static version 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.tsx.org), it will
divide its size by 10.
