Updating building docs.

# 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
Support for VS2013 (and auto picking), a Win xb script, and readme updates. This also removes the dependency on D3DX, which is only included in the DXSDK, meaning that just the Win8+ SDK should be required now.

### Windows
Update python script and building manual
2014-01-14 06:05:10 +00:00
* Windows 8 or 8.1
Updating README to reflect VS2015 requirement.
2015-02-06 02:16:55 +00:00
* Visual Studio 2015
Update python script and building manual
2014-01-14 06:05:10 +00:00
* [Python 2.7](http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.6/)
* If you are on Windows 8, you will also need the [Windows 8.1 SDK](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/bg162891)

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

XamLoaderTerminateTitle asserts now to make it easier to track death.

I recommend using [Cmder](http://bliker.github.io/cmder/) for git and command
line usage.

#### Debugging
Adding VS2015 support.

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`).
Logging to with a ringbuffer. Much faster.

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

A new debugger. Lots of bugs/rough edges/etc - issues will be filed. Old-style debugging still works (just use --emit_source_annotations to get the helpful movs back and --break_on_instruction will still fire).
2015-09-21 04:31:05 +00:00
If running under Visual Studio and you want to look at the JIT'ed code
(available around 0xA0000000) you should pass `--emit_source_annotations` to
get helpful spacers/movs in the disassembly.
Linux tweaks.
2015-08-18 21:18:00 +00:00
### Linux
Linux support is extremely experimental and incomplete.
Only tested with GCC 4.9 on Ubuntu 14. [CodeLite](http://codelite.org) 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.

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