How to compile application (windows)

Good afternoon people! I would like to know what procedures are required to do the complete compilation of the application (for windows). I am studying the code and learning the C ++ language and I do not know very well how to start, sorry. ^^ " I thank everyone. Cheers!

This is a very bad project to learn C++ with because much of the code is an ancient mess cobbled together by people with very different styles. You'd be much better off finding a nice tutorial or a small, recent project to learn from.

Hi @bearoso.

Thanks for answering. Initially I just want to learn the basics and see how it was done. My goal is to just translate the commands to my language at the moment but doing this directly in the code. Could you teach me then just how to compile and run on Windows? Thank you again for replying

OV2 put together a document describing how to compile for windows here: https://github.com/snes9xgit/snes9x/blob/master/win32/docs/how2compile.txt

Great.

Could you give me some more help, please?

I followed the procedures contained in the TXT file instructions however, visual studio 2017 encountered errors in the build. Both the Debugger version and the Release version have the following error after clicking "START" or "LOCAL WINDOWS DEBUGGER":

Microsoft Visual Studio

Unable to start program 'C: \ Users \ snes9x-master \ snes9x-master \ win32 \ snes9x.exe'.

The system can not find the file specified.

OK

As long as you followed the directions correctly, it will compile. You need to look further up the log to find where the build failed.

I'm almost succeeding (I think) ... ^^ "

Apparently, all errors shown in the log refer to the ZLIB and LIBPNG libraries, that are not being located while compiling.

The strange thing is that I have everything downloaded here in the directories and even then, VS2017 can not locate at the time of compilation.

Reading the TXT file the information says to do everything automatically but even then, I downloaded it and sent it all to those folders.

zlib (optional, ZLIB define, enabled by default) - the default solution includes a zlib project that builds appropriately (force includes _tfwopen.h for unicode support in s9x). The zlib directory should reside at win32/zlib/src, or you can download it automatically with git submodule init && git submodule update.

Could you help me with that? I'm almost there

Thank you all!

Did you use the git commands to get the libraries or did you manually download them? It might help if you post the actual build error output.

Hi, @OV2 !

Right. I'll leave here the complete error LOG. The 3 solutions are failing, I believe for lack of files. I downloaded them all manually, cloned the repositories, did not use any git command. If this is the wrong way (which I'm clearly seeing is the wrong one), how do I get all the files correctly?

Thank you everyone's attention, and thank you very much.

If you've downloaded them manually you need to place the source files in zlib/src libpng/src. The offficial zip files of zlib/libpng contain an extra top-level folder with a version number, you need to place the contents of that folder in the appropriate src folder.

I am having the same issue, followed that .txt file and I could not build it, Isn't there a clear instruction?

Where do I get these missing files? shouldn't the source files be pre-included in the master branch?

zlib, libpng and directxmath are their own projects and are referenced as git submodules. You can automatically download them by using "git submodule update --init".

@OV2 Thanks for the quick reply! I've downloaded them manually and put them in the right places, libpng and zlib builds successfully, But now snes9x project produces the following

That looks like zlib and libpng are built incorrectly (as a dll). Try doing a clean and then rebuilding all three projects.

Guys, all the tips helped a lot. Now everything is compiling correctly. They can close the Issue. Thanks to all!

I have this issue, I cannot get the XAudio2.h, I tried installing Windows SDK 10 but it didn't work

Any idea?

Finally worked after installing DXSDK_Jun10.exe

snes9xgit / snes9x
