1. Installing RGBDS
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
1.1 Windows
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Windows builds are available in the releases page on GitHub
|
||||
`here <https://github.com/rednex/rgbds/releases>`__.
|
||||
|
||||
Extract the zip and then add the executable directory to the path. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
path %PATH%;C:\Programs\rgbds-0.3.8-win64\win64
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, the RGBDS executables can be simply dropped in the folder of the project they're used in.
|
||||
|
||||
If you require the latest version in development, it should be possible to
|
||||
compile RGBDS with MinGW or Cygwin by following the instructions to build it on
|
||||
UNIX systems.
|
||||
|
||||
1.2 macOS
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
You can build RGBDS by following the instructions below. However, if you would
|
||||
prefer not to build RGBDS yourself, you may also install it using
|
||||
`Homebrew <http://brew.sh/>`__.
|
||||
|
||||
To install the latest release, use:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: sh
|
||||
|
||||
brew install rgbds
|
||||
|
||||
To install RGBDS with all of the current changes in development (as seen on the
|
||||
``master`` branch on GitHub), use:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: sh
|
||||
|
||||
brew install rgbds --HEAD
|
||||
|
||||
1.3 Arch Linux
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
To install RGBDS through the AUR run
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: sh
|
||||
|
||||
yaourt -S rgbds
|
||||
|
||||
1.4 Other UNIX-like systems
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
No official binaries of RGBDS are distributed for these systems, you must follow
|
||||
the simple instructions below to compile and install it.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Building RGBDS from source
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
RGBDS can be built in UNIX-like systems by following the instructions below.
|
||||
|
||||
2.1 Dependencies
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
RGBDS requires yacc, libpng and pkg-config to be installed.
|
||||
|
||||
On macOS, install the latter two with `Homebrew <http://brew.sh/>`__:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: sh
|
||||
|
||||
brew install libpng pkg-config
|
||||
|
||||
On other Unixes, use the built-in package manager. For example, on Debian or
|
||||
Ubuntu:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: sh
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install byacc flex pkg-config libpng-dev
|
||||
|
||||
You can test if libpng and pkg-config are installed by running ``pkg-config
|
||||
--cflags libpng``: if the output is a path, then you're good, and if it outputs
|
||||
an error then you need to install them via a package manager.
|
||||
|
||||
2.2 Build process
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
To build the programs, run in your terminal:
|
||||
The `installation procedure <https://rgbds.gbdev.io/install>`__ is available
|
||||
online for various platforms. `Building from source <https://rgbds.gbdev.io/install/source>`__
|
||||
is possible using ``make`` or ``cmake``; follow the link for more detailed instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: sh
|
||||
|
||||
make
|
||||
|
||||
Then, to install the compiled programs and manual pages, run (with appropriate
|
||||
privileges, e.g, with ``sudo``):
|
||||
sudo make install
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: sh
|
||||
|
||||
make install
|
||||
cmake -S . -B build
|
||||
cmake --build build
|
||||
cmake --install build
|
||||
|
||||
After installation, you can read the manuals with the ``man`` command. E.g.,
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: sh
|
||||
|
||||
man 7 rgbds
|
||||
|
||||
There are some variables in the Makefile that can be redefined by the user. The
|
||||
variables described below can affect installation behavior when given on the
|
||||
make command line. For example, to install RGBDS in your home directory instead
|
||||
of systemwide, run the following:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: sh
|
||||
|
||||
make install PREFIX=$HOME
|
||||
|
||||
To do a verbose build, run:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: sh
|
||||
|
||||
make Q=
|
||||
|
||||
This is the complete list of user-defined variables:
|
||||
|
||||
- ``PREFIX``: Location where RGBDS will be installed. Defaults to
|
||||
``/usr/local``.
|
||||
|
||||
- ``bindir``: Location where the binaries will be installed. Defaults to
|
||||
``${PREFIX}/bin``.
|
||||
|
||||
- ``mandir``: Location where the manpages will be installed. Defaults to
|
||||
``${PREFIX}/share/man``.
|
||||
|
||||
- ``DESTDIR``: This is prepended to all paths during the installation. It is
|
||||
mainly used for packaging.
|
||||
|
||||
- ``Q``: Whether to quiet the build or not. To make the build more verbose,
|
||||
clear this variable. Defaults to ``@``.
|
||||
|
||||
- ``STRIP``: Whether to strip the installed binaries of debug symbols or not.
|
||||
Defaults to ``-s``.
|
||||
|
||||
- ``BINMODE``: Permissions of the installed binaries. Defaults to ``755``.
|
||||
|
||||
- ``MANMODE``: Permissions of the installed manpages. Defaults to ``644``.
|
||||
|
||||
- ``CHECKPATCH``: Path of the script ``checkpatch.pl`` of the Linux kernel.
|
||||
Defaults to ``../linux/scripts/checkpatch.pl``.
|
||||
You can retrieve that script from `here <https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/scripts/checkpatch.pl>`__.
