Install the [MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org/) environment. The rest of the guide will refer to the directory that you install it to (`C:\msys32` or `C:\msys64` by default) as the MSYS2 root. - -2. Launch your MSYS2 environment using the `MSYS2 MinGW 32-bit` shortcut. If you do not want to use the shortcut, launch it using the `mingw32.exe` executable in the MSYS2 root. - -3. Once launched, you should update the environment: - ```console - $ pacman -Syu - ``` - You may need to do this twice, just follow the on-screen instructions. Make sure you re-run the command periodically to keep the environment up-to-date. - -4. Run the following command to install all of the dependencies: - ```console - $ pacman -S gdb make git mingw-w64-i686-toolchain mingw-w64-i686-openal mingw-w64-i686-freetype mingw-w64-i686-SDL2 mingw-w64-i686-zlib mingw-w64-i686-libpng - ``` - -5. Once the environment is fully updated and all dependencies are installed, change directory to `src`: - ```console - $ cd path/to/86Box/src - ``` - -6. Start the actual compilation process: - ```console - $ make -f win/Makefile.mingw - ``` - By default, `make` does not run in parallel. If you want it to use more threads, use the `-j` switch with the number of threads, e.g. `-j4`. However, keep in mind that you should not exceed your thread (logical processor) count, since that just uses more resources for little to no gain. - -7. If the compilation succeeded (which it almost always should), you will find `86Box.exe` in the `src` directory. - -8. In order to test your fresh build, replace the `86Box.exe` in your current 86Box environment with your freshly built one. If you do not have a pre-existing 86Box environment, download the latest successful build from https://ci.86box.net, and the latest ROM set from https://github.com/86Box/roms. - -9. Enjoy using and testing the emulator! :) - -If you encounter issues at any step or have additional questions, please join -the IRC channel or the appropriate channel on our Discord server and wait patiently for someone to help you.
