1 Introduction________________________________________________

This file documents the gtk version only, for general
information check the README file.


2 Compiling instructions______________________________________

The Gtk+ port of Yabause is written in C and depends on the
Gtk+ library (thus the name). The recommended setup of the
Gtk+ port is to link it against OpenGL and gtkglext libraries,
but this is not mandatory; see "Full Software mode" for
further instructions.

Yabause currently provides two build system, a legacy build
process using the autotools and a newer build process using
CMake.


2.1 Recommended setup_________________________________________

You need a working C compiler, such as gcc and the above
libraries runtime and development packages:

  * http://www.gtk.org

  * http://gtkglext.sourceforge.net

  * OpenGL should be included with your compiler, if it isn't,
    check on your distribution's website for links.

  * http://www.cmake.org, you'll need a CMake version >= 2.8

With those libraries, you'll get a working Yabause, but with
some restrictions:

  * No sound

  * No translations

  * Depending on your OS, keyboard input only

You may want to install some optional dependencies for a
better experience.


2.2 Optional libraries________________________________________

Yabause can use a number of optional libraries:

  * SDL: provides sound and joystick support
    http://www.libsdl.org/

  * OpenAL: provides sound support

  * mini18n: provides translation support


2.3 Compiling_________________________________________________

For the build process, we recommend using two directories: one
for the Yabause sources (SOURCES) and one for the build (BUILD)

Uncompress the Yabause source archive into the $SOURCES dir
and create the $BUILD directory.

Move to the build directory and type "cmake $SOURCES" then
"make" it will generate one program: "yabause" in the "src/gtk"
directory.

You can even type "make install" to install that program on
your system (in /usr/local/ by default), but we don't support
desinstalling it.


2.4 Full Software mode________________________________________

The Gtk+ supports building without OpenGL support.

cmake -DYAB_WANT_OPENGL=NO $SOURCES
make


3 How to use Yabause__________________________________________

Before using Yabause, you need to configure a few things in
the Preferences dialog (Yabause>Preferences).


3.1 Configuration_____________________________________________

First, set the BIOS path.
Yabause can run some games without a BIOS, but most of them
needs it. If you want to use the emulated BIOS, just let the
BIOS entry blank.

Next, set the cdrom device.
It can be a cd device, an iso or a cue file. Set the cd type
accordingly.

The last thing you have to configure is the keys.

Once eveything is set, you can start emulation with the
"Yabause>run" entry.


3.2 Command line arguments____________________________________

-b (or --bios=)
    Specify bios file.
-c (or --cdrom=)
    Specify cd device. You can know which file is used as cd
    device by looking in /etc/fstab. It is commonly something
    like /dev/hdc or /dev/hdd for IDE devices and /dev/scd0
    for SCSI devices.
-i (or --iso=)
    Specify iso file.
