Mupen64Plus-Core README
-----------------------
The most current version of this README and more documentation can be found on
the Mupen64Plus wiki:
http://code.google.com/p/mupen64plus/wiki/README
Mupen64Plus is based off of mupen64, originally created by Hacktarux. This
package contains the only the Mupen64Plus core library. For a fully functional
emulator, the user must also install graphics, sound, input, and RSP plugins,
as well as a user interface program (called a front-end).
README Sections
1. Requirements for building or running Mupen64Plus
2. Building From Source
3. Installation
4. Key Commands In Emulator
1. Requirements and Pre-requisites
----------------------------------
*Binary Package Requirements*
- SDL 1.2
- libpng
- freetype 2
- zlib
*Source Build Requirements*
In addition to the binary libraries, the following packages are required if you
build Mupen64Plus from source:
- GNU C and C++ compiler, libraries, and headers
- GNU make
- Development packages for all the libraries above
2. Building From Source
-----------------------
If you downloaded the binary distribution of Mupen64Plus, skip to the
Installation section. To build the source distribution, unzip and cd into the
projects/unix directory, then build using make:
$ unzip mupen64plus-core-x-y-z-src.zip
$ cd mupen64plus-core-x-y-z-src/projects/unix
$ make all
Type 'make' by itself to view all available build options:
$ make
Mupen64Plus makefile.
Targets:
all == Build Mupen64Plus and all plugins
clean == remove object files
install == Install Mupen64Plus and all plugins
uninstall == Uninstall Mupen64Plus and all plugins
Options:
BITS=32 == build 32-bit binaries on 64-bit machine
LIRC=1 == enable LIRC support
NO_ASM=1 == build without assembly (no dynamic recompiler or MMX/SSE code)
SHAREDIR=path == extra path to search for shared data files
OPTFLAGS=flag == compiler optimization (default: -O3)
PIC=(1|0) == Force enable/disable of position independent code
Install Options:
PREFIX=path == install/uninstall prefix (default: /usr/local/)
SHAREDIR=path == path to install shared data (default: PREFIX/share/mupen64plus/)
LIBDIR=path == path to install plugin libs (default: PREFIX/lib)
INCDIR=path == path to install core header files (default: PREFIX/include/mupen64plus)
DESTDIR=path == path to prepend to all installation paths (only for packagers)
Debugging Options:
PROFILE=1 == build gprof instrumentation into binaries for profiling
DEBUG=1 == add debugging symbols to binaries
DEBUGGER=1 == build graphical debugger
DBG_CORE=1 == print debugging info in r4300 core
DBG_COUNT=1 == print R4300 instruction count totals (64-bit dynarec only)
DBG_COMPARE=1 == enable core-synchronized r4300 debugging
DBG_PROFILE=1 == dump profiling data for r4300 dynarec to data file
V=1 == show verbose compiler output
3. Installation
---------------
*Binary Distribution*
To install the binary distribution of Mupen64Plus, su to root and run the
provided install.sh script:
$ su
# ./install.sh
# exit
$
The install script will copy the executable to /usr/local/bin and a directory
called /usr/local/share/mupen64plus will be created to hold plugins and other
files used by mupen64plus.
NOTE: By default, install.sh uses /usr/local for the install prefix. Although
the user can specify an alternate prefix to install.sh at the commandline, the
mupen64plus binary was compiled to look for the install directory in /usr/local,
so specifying an alternate prefix to install.sh will cause problems (mupen64plus
will not find the install directory). If you want to use a prefix other than
/usr/local, you will have to download the source package and build with the
PREFIX option (see below).
*Source Distribution*
After building mupen64plus and all plugins, su to root and type 'make install'
to install Mupen64Plus. The install process will copy the executable to
$PREFIX/bin and a directory called $PREFIX/share/mupen64plus will be created
to hold plugins and other files used by mupen64plus. By default, PREFIX is set
to /usr/local. This can be changed by passing the PREFIX option to make. NOTE:
you must pass the prefix, when building AND installing. For example, to install
mupen64plus to /usr, do this:
$ make all
$ sudo make PREFIX=/usr install
$
