BuildNotes

GCC is known to work on a number on platforms.

There is an autotools configure shell script, try that first. For cross compiling you may want to create a static Makefile, see the examples in the source already (Windows and Dingoo).

Compile/Build options

There are a few options in the code that can be disabled, e.g. in case libraries are not available or functionality is not wanted (or implemented in a specific port). E.g.:

• screen shots
• .zip file support
• sound support, i.e. can build without sound (output) support
• joystick support

Windows

Known to build/run with gcc (3.4.2) and SDL (1.2).

make -B -f Makfile.win

Linux

Tested under x86. Known to work with gcc 4.2.2 and 4.6.3.

sh ./configure --with-sdl
make -B sdlgnuboy 2>&1 |tee build_sdl.log

Dingoo Native SDL

gcc 4.1.2

make -B -f Makefile.dingoo

Pandora and SDL

make -f Makefile.pandora

Running

NOTE SDL will take what ever surface it can find, if you are running dual/multi head displays you may get odd results in fullscreen mode (the default). Suggestion try running in a window.

./sdlgnuboy --fullscreen=0 ROM_NAME  # start in a window
./sdlgnuboy ROM_NAME  # full screen is the default
