Developers

Building

The root Makefile contains various targets that allow you to build the project easily.

Local build

For a local build, you need to install Meson and a recent build of MinGW-w64. Then you can start the build process:

make build

Build output will be located in build/build32 and build/build64 folders.

Cleanup local build

make clean

Create distribution package (zip file)

make dist

The output will be located in build/zip.

Build and create distribution package using docker

You can also build using docker which avoids having to setup a full development environment if you are just interested in building binaries of the latest changes. Naturally, this requires you to have the docker daemon installed.

make build-docker

Once completed successfully, the build output is located in the build/docker/zip sub-folder.

Building with Docker Desktop on Windows

• Install WSL2
• Install Docker Desktop
• Run Docker Desktop to start the Docker Engine
• Open a command prompt (cmd.exe) and cd to your segatools folder
• Run docker-build.bat
• Once completed successfully, build output is located in the build/docker/zip sub-folder.

Building with Docker on Windows using WSL2

• Install WSL2
• Regarding Linux distribution, we recommend using Ubuntu 20.04
• Run the "Ubuntu 20.04 LTS" App which opens a Linux shell
• Install make and docker by running
  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt-get install make docker.io
• Add the current user to the docker group that you don't have to run docker commands with root: sudo usermod -a -G docker $USER
• Run the docker daemon in the background: sudo dockerd > /dev/null 2>&1 &
• Navigate to your segatools folder. If it is located on the C: drive, WSL automatically provides a mountpoint for that under /mnt/c, e.g. cd /mnt/c/segatools (if the folder segatools is located under C:\segatools on Windows).
• Build segatools: make build-docker
• Once completed successfully, build output is located in the build/docker/zip sub-folder.
