Hi everyone,

So, I really like this emulator, even from the alpha stage. But the problem is: How does one build it from Code:Blocks in Windows? I already linked WxWidgets and SDL2. It's giving me 4 errors on GCC and 1 fatal error in VC++ 2015.

(If this post does not belong here, please move it somewhere.)

Telling us more about those errors would be helpful.

GCC compiler gives me these errors:

I see.


You should get msys2 and use its shell to install mingw64, wxWidgets and SDL2.

Okay, so after a long time (because I'm a noob in Linux), two more errors now.
Note: building in mingw32.

EDIT: It's building now! But even for advanced users like me, this building is still very hard. It should be easier with CMake instead. (You are doing this, right?)

You have to use mingw64 and set the compiler options to use x64. That's what I had to do at least.

Still errors? C'mon... I don't even know what to do now...

I feel you on a very deep level right now, I'm stuck there too. I tried it with wxWidgets 3.1, and it compiled. It gave me an error running the exe though :/ I'm trying the latest WX 3.0 branch off of github, and I'll let you know if that helps.

* Download the 64-bit version of MSYS2 from here.
* Open "MSYS2 MSYS"
* Type pacman -Syu --noconfirm
* It'll probably tell you to close the terminal at some point, do that
* Now open "MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit"
* Type these commands
pacman -Su --noconfirm mingw-w64-x86_64-{toolchain,SDL2,wxWidgets} git
git clone https://github.com/StapleButter/melonDS.git
cd melonDS
g++ -O3 src/*.cpp src/wx/*.cpp -Isrc -Isrc/wx $(pkg-config --cflags --libs sdl2) $(wx-config --cflags --libs core,base) -I/mingw64/include/wx-3.0/ -I/mingw64/lib/wx/include/msw-unicode-3.0 -o melonDS.exe
Then you should hopefully have a working build of melonDS :)

How many errors can I get?

Thanks Nadia, with these commands it finally built the .exe file. But then it asked for a lot of .dll files. I found them all in /mingw64/bin, but another error then happens:

You'll need to place the appropriate .dll files along with it. Check the melonDS release for a list of the DLLs it requires.

It asks for libgcc_s_seh-1.dll, then wxbase30u_gcc_custom.dll and finally wxmsw30u_core_gcc_custom.dll. Then it gives me the error. Doesn't it compile these .dlls after building?

I found them all in /mingw64/bin

g++ -O3 src/*.cpp src/wx/*.cpp -static -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ $(pkg-config --static --cflags --libs sdl2) $(wx-config-static --cflags --libs core,base) -Isrc -Isrc/wx -I/mingw64/include/wx-3.0 -I/mingw64/lib/wx/include/msw-unicode-3.0/ -o melonDS.exe

Try this.

YAY!!!

It's working now! Thank you Nadia!

But a suggestion from me is to start using CMake, I mean, that was very hard to build.

Try this.

How can I get it to build with the command line logging window? The exe made by this just gives me the two main windows.

Under Linux you'll have to run it from a terminal.

When compiling in windows using msys2 i get the following error:

#warning Please include winsock2.h before windows.h [-Wcpp]

Seems to be related to src/wx/Platform.cpp

it's not an error, you can ignore it

besides, when I tried following their recommendation, it was a shitshow, so I kept it this way because it works best
