You will need Windows 7 -or later and a reasonably up-to-date MSYS2 installation. We strongly recommend -building MAME on a 64-bit system. Instructions may need to be adjusted for -32-bit systems. - -* A pre-packaged MSYS2 installation including the prerequisites for building - MAME can be downloaded from the `MAME Build Tools - <http://mamedev.org/tools/>`_ page. -* After initial installation, you can update the MSYS2 environment using the - **pacman** (Arch package manage) command. -* By default, MAME will be built using native Windows OS interfaces for - window management, audio/video output, font rendering, etc. If you want to - use the portable SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) interfaces instead, you can - add **OSD=sdl** to the make options. The main emulator binary will have an - ``sdl`` prefix prepended (e.g. ``sdlmame64.exe`` or ``sdlmame.exe``). You - will need to install the MSYS2 packages for SDL 2 version 2.0.3 or later. -* By default, MAME will include the native Windows debugger. To also inculde - the portable Qt debugger, add **USE_QTDEBUG=1** to the make options. You - will need to install the MSYS2 packages for Qt 5. - -Using a standard MSYS2 installation -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -You may also build MAME using a standard MSYS2 installation and adding the tools -needed for building MAME. These instructions assume you have some familiarity -with MSYS2 and the **pacman** package manager. - -* Install the MSYS2 environment from the `MSYS2 homepage - <https://www.msys2.org/>`_. -* Download the latest version of the ``mame-essentials`` package from the - `MAME package repository <https://repo.mamedev.org/x86_64/>`_ and install it - using the **pacman** command. -* Add the ``mame`` repository to ``/etc/pacman.conf`` using - ``/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.mame`` for locations. -* Install packages necessary to build MAME. At the very least, you'll need - ``bash``, ``git``, ``make``. -* For 64-bit builds you'll need ``mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc`` and - ``mingw-w64-x86_64-python2``. -* For 32-bit builds you'll need ``mingw-w64-i686-gcc`` and - ``mingw-w64-i686-python2``. -* For debugging you may want to install ``gdb``. -* To build against the portable SDL interfaces, you'll need - ``mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2`` and ``mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2_ttf`` for 64-bit builds, - or ``mingw-w64-i686-SDL2`` and ``mingw-w64-i686-SDL2_ttf`` for 32-bit builds. -* To build the Qt debugger, you'll need ``mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5`` for 64-bit - builds, or ``mingw-w64-i686-qt5`` for 32-bit builds. -* To generate API documentation from source, you'll need ``doxygen``. -* For 64-bit builds, open **MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit** from the start menu, and set - up the environment variables ``MINGW64`` to ``/mingw64`` and ``MINGW32`` to an - empty string (e.g. using the command **export MINGW64=/mingw64 MINGW32=** in - the Bash shell). -* For 32-bit builds, open **MSYS2 MinGW 32-bit** from the start menu, and set - up the environment variables ``MINGW32`` to ``/mingw32`` and ``MINGW64`` to an - empty string (e.g. using the command **export MINGW32=/mingw32 MINGW64=** in - the Bash shell). - -Building with Microsoft Visual Studio -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -* You can generate Visual Studio 2017 projects using **make vs2017**. The - solution and project files will be created in - ``build/projects/windows/mame/vs2017`` by default (the name of the ``build`` - folder can be changed using the ``BUILDDIR`` option). This will always - regenerate the settings, so **REGENIE=1** is *not* needed. -* Adding **MSBUILD=1** to the make options will build build the solution using - the Microsoft Build Engine after generating the project files. Note that this - requires paths and environment variables to be configured so the correct - Visual Studio tools can be located. -* MAME can only be compiled with the Visual Studio 15.7.6 tools. Bugs in newer - versions of the Microsoft Visual C/C++ compiler prevent it from compiling - MAME. -* The MSYS2 environment is still required to generate the project files, convert - built-in layouts, compile UI translations, etc. +Here are specific notes about compiling MAME for Microsoft Windows. + +* Refer to `the MAME tools site <http://mamedev.org/tools/>`_ for the latest toolkit for getting MAME compiled on Windows. + +* You will need to download the toolset from that link to begin.
