Unable to build from source on Windows #955

Closed Meerkov closed 4 months ago

Meerkov commented 2 years ago

1) Download source 2) Open mupen64plus-core.vcxproj 3) Try to build

Result: Custom build for ../../src/device/r4300/new_dynarec/x86/linkage_x86.asm' exited with code 3.

Lookin for advice on how to build from source (with updated instructions for non-linux users) before I can attempt to contribute to this project.

All projects have one to two CI/CD, AppVeyor and GitHub Actions, if you understand batch the process is much simpler to understand by taking a look at YAML.

Cloning mupen64plus-win32-deps and mupen64plus-core is a prerequisite for building any other project for MSVC.

This code was more direct, but was rejected =P Either way, you can always use nightly builds.

Nightly build isn't good enough for development purposes.

I've cloned both of those projects, and now I see: \mupen64plus-core\src\device\r4300\new_dynarec\recomp_dbg.c(142,10): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'capstone.h': No such file or directory

The only code paths supported in MSVC are:

Configuration:
  - New_Dynarec_Debug
  - New_Dynarec_Release
  - Debug
  - Release
Platform:
  - Win32
  - x64

Right, from the error message given it appears that you are trying to make an ARM64 build, and as a result it's getting stuck on that missing header. If you don't mind adding ARM64 project support for Windows, I'm sure there are a few other people out there who would appreciate the effort.
