Build requirements:
- CMake
- Python
- C11 and C++20 compiler
- Qt6
- You may build for Qt5 with -DBUILD_QT5_VERSION, but this is unsupported
- SDL version 2.0.16 or later
- SameBoy*
- RGBDS (for building SameBoy's boot ROMs)
* You need a copy of SameBoy's source code. One is tracked via git submodule,
but you may also choose to use a different version of SameBoy by setting the
SAMEBOY_SOURCE_DIR setting in the CMake cache like this:
$ cmake <arguments> -DSAMEBOY_SOURCE_DIR=/path/to/sameboy/source
To clone SuperDUX with the SameBoy repo, run this command:
$ git clone https://github.com/SnowyMouse/superdux.git --recursive
You can update the existing submodule manually with this:
$ git submodule update --remote
