It is possible to build Retro on Windows, though a few of the
|
2019-03-18 21:55:32 +01:00
|
|
|
extensions are not supported:

This is currently more difficult than on a Unix host. If you have
|
|
|
|
|
Windows 10 and WSL, it may be better to build under that (using
|
2020-01-14 20:38:03 +01:00
|
|
|
the Unix instructions).

|
|
|
Retro on Windows is built with TCC.

Go to http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/tinycc/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Download the *winapi-full* and *tcc-xxxx-bin* packages for your
|
|
|
|
|
system. Decompress them, copy the headers from the winapi
|
|
|
|
|
package into the tcc directory.

Copy the `source/interfaces/retro-windows.c` and the
|
|
|
|
|
`source/interfaces/retro-windows.c` to the directory you setup
|
|
|
|
|
tcc into.

## Build

Building will require use of the command line. Assuming that
|
2021-05-12 15:57:22 +02:00
|
|
|
tcc.exe is in the current directory along with the Retro sources:
|
2019-05-09 19:58:39 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
tcc retro-windows.c -o retro.exe
|
