Snes9x for GTK/X11 README
-------------------------
The following contains installation instructions, known issues, and info on
features currently missing from the GTK port of Snes9x.
Requirements / Build Notes:
---------------------------
The GTK port of Snes9x is a separate codebase from the unix port, and uses a
variety of multiplatform libraries for compatibility. The following
are the required libraries for this port:
Library Required Version
------------------------------------
GTK+ >= 2.10 and dependencies
libxml2 >= 2.0
One or more of portaudio, PulseAudio, SDL, ALSA, or OSS
And for joystick support:
Library Required Version
------------------------------------
SDL >= 1.2.12
Building requires you run the configure script with the parameter
--with-gtk
and for OpenGL support
--with-gtk --with-opengl
An appropriate configure command as an example would be:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-gtk --with-opengl
Next, issue the "make" command:
$ make
An standalone executable named "snes9x-gtk" will be created. This may be
run in place. To install the program and errata, use
# make install
as a privileged user.
Joystick Support:
-----------------
Snes9x will autodetect your joystick when run. If you've used any
calibration programs beforehand, you may need to reboot your operating
system to undo the damage they've done.
