Compilation

1. Download DOS version of developers' package DJGPP (from official website http://www.delorie.com
or from ftp://kolibrios.org/users/Asper/DJGPP/), unpack the archieves (C:/DJGPP directory recommended).
DJGPP contains gcc, ld, make etc programs' versions that we need.


2. Create new environment variable DJGPP with the value of the full path to the djgpp.env file (for example C:/DJGPP/djgpp.env)


3. Download menuetlibc package, which contain libraries for work with KolibriOS
(can be found here http://diamond.kolibrios.org).
If you don't want to compile those libraries yourself, you can download precompiled
version from here ftp://kolibrios.org/users/Asper/menuetlibc/menuetos.7z (size: 1 065 827 bytes).
Unpack the archieve anywhere.


4. Go to the menuetos directory from the point 3 and copy the full path from that directory (for example D:/OS/menuetos).
Create new environment variable MENUETDEV and set it's value equal to the path you've copied before.


5. Add paths to the directories menuetos/linuxtools (for example D:\OS\menuetos\linuxtools;), menuetos/include
(for example D:\OS\menuetos\include;), DJGPP/bin (for example C:/DJGPP/bin;) to the environment variable Path.


6. Download and unpack FCEU_v0.2_src.7z(http://asper.ucoz.ru).


7. To compile the program first run MKbase.bat (it will compile base code of FCEU), then run MK.bat
(it will compile the code which belong to the KolibriOS and it will link all *.o files and you will get the executable file fce).


Note:
In WinXP environment variable can be created like that:
a. Click "My computer" icon by the right button of the mouse
b. Menu "System Properties"
c. Tab "Advanced"
d. Button "Environment Variables"
e. On the frame "System variables" button "New"
f. Remember to press "OK" buttons in "Environment Variables" and "System Properties" windows after environment variables creating(changing).
