FYI: How to build and run OpenEmulator

[Zellyn Hunter]

Hi folks,

I just figured out how to build and run OpenEmulator in xcode, and thought it might be useful to others.

ps - the ROMs have been deleted from git to be safe, so you'll need to get those from somewhere.

pps - hint: git doesn't actually delete anything unless you work really hard.

How to build and run OpenEmulator

# clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/OpenEmulatorProject/OpenEmulator.git

# install dependencies

# Note: if I missed any, follow my procedure: try to build, see which header file or library is

# missing, and search for it on Google to find out what package to install.

# Interesting note: my homebrew config was initially out-of-date, so it installed libpng 1.5.

# This caused the headers to be found, but the build failed because of the -lpng16 library param.

# brew update && brew upgrade libpng

# fixed it.

brew update

brew install libpng libsamplerate libsndfile libzip portaudio

# link a header that homebrew doesn’t link

HOMEBREW_INCLUDES=/Users/zellyn/homebrew/include

cd $HOMEBREW_INCLUDES

ln -s ../Cellar/libzip/0.11.2/lib/libzip/include/zipconf.h zipconf.

# open in xcode

open OpenEmulator.xcodeproj

# Configure xcode to find the headers and libraries

# Type command-shift-o then type xcodeproj to open the file OpenEmulator.xcodeproj

# At the top, make sure the OpenEmulator project, not a target, is selected.

# Add the homebrew include dir to Header Search Paths (eg. /Users/zellyn/homebrew/include)

# Add the homebrew lib dir to Library Search Paths (eg. /Users/zellyn/homebrew/lib)

Hi,

First of all, welcome to the group! We're not very active right now, so it's very nice to see new people coming in.

I wonder if it would be possible to generate XCode project files from CMake; it would be nice if every platform uses the same build files. However, I don't have a Mac anymore so there is no easy way for me to test this. :/

I'm aware of this :-)
AFAIK the roms have been in the Subversion repository for years,and when I move everything over to Github it came with. I'm not so sure how we should handle the roms, so I removed them so the casual passer-by won't find them without digging a little.

This is a good candidate for a patch for https://github.com/OpenEmulatorProject/OpenEmulator/blob/master/INSTALL.md. :-)
