Building

You must have a 64-bit machine for building and running the project. Always run your system updater before building and make sure you have the latest video drivers for your card.

Setup

Windows

Ensure Python is in your PATH (C:\Python27\).

I recommend using Cmder for git and command line usage.

Debugging

VS behaves oddly with the debug paths. Open the xenia project properties and set the 'Command' to $(SolutionDir)$(TargetPath) and the 'Working Directory' to $(SolutionDir)..\... You can specify flags and the file to run in the 'Command Arguments' field (or use --flagfile=flags.txt).

By default logs are written to a file with the name of the executable. You can override this with --log_file=log.txt.

Linux

Linux support is extremely experimental and incomplete.

Only tested with GCC 4.9 on Ubuntu 14. CodeLite is the IDE of choice and xb premake will spit out files for that. Make also works via xb build.

Currently building requires that CC == CXX == g++. If you know a way around this (to force .c files to be built with g++) let me know.

Running

To make life easier you can use --flagfile=myflags.txt to specify all arguments, including using --target=my.xex to pick an executable.
