EmulatorResources/FCEU/Compiling

Things you need

MinGW and MSYS	You can find them at http://www.mingw.org/. Look for the Current MSYS and Current MinGW. Everything else can be ignored unless you know what you're doing.
libSDL for MinGW	You can find it at http://www.libsdl.org/.
The DirectX 7a headers and libraries for MinGW	You can find it at http://alleg.sourceforge.net/index.html
Zlib	You can find it at http://www.zlib.net/
Windows API libraries	http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml
FCEU source	Which I think you should have since you want to compile it! ;)

Things to do

Install MinGW and MSYS.
- Simply run the EXEs and follow the directions. Install MSYS AFTER MinGW
Install the DirectX 7 headers and libraries and Windows API libraries
- Simply unzip the archive to C:\MinGW. There will be an include folder and a lib folder. Do NOT extract to C:\MinGW\dx70_mgw. Or you can extract to some folder and copy the include and lib folder over the C:\MinGW directory. You should do the same thing with Windows API libraries.
Install libSDL.
- Start MSYS and put SDL-devel-1.x.x.mingw.tar.gz in your home directory. The path will be something like c:\msys\1.0\home\|username|
Untar the archive
- gzip -cd SDL-devel-1.x.x.mingw.tar.gz | tar x
Now build libSDL
- make install-sdl prefix=/mingw
Install Zlib
- Stay in MSYS, or reopen it if you closed it. Put the zlib-1.x.x.tar.gz archive in your MSYS home dir.
Untar the archive
- tar xvfz zlib-1.x.x.tar.gz or for bz2 tar xvfj zlib-1.x.x.tar.bz2
Now change to zlib directory
- cd zlib-1.x.x
Configure and build zlib
- ./configure --prefix=/mingw make && make install
Compile fceu
- Stay in MSYS, or reopen it if you closed it. Extract fceu-0.98.12-blip.src.rar to c:\msys\1.0\home\|username| .
Change to the fceu directory
- cd fceu-0.98.12-blip.src
Configure the Makefile
- ./configure --with-nativewin32 or for opengl ./configure --with-nativewin32 --with-opengl
Build the resource file
- windres -o src/res.o src/drivers/win/res.res
Now make
- make
Strip the executable to make it small (this is optional)
- Staying in MSYS, run the strip program.
- strip -s src/fceu.exe
After being "stripped", I suggest using upx, http://upx.sourceforge.net/, to compress the executable.
- The program should be in your home directory under c:\msys\1.0\home\|username|\fceu-0.98.26\src\fceu.exe

feos: For the sake of science, I tried compiling this on my Windows. It appears to heavily depend on old libs and compilers, and after solving that, it built a silent program for me. If anyone has success trying it out, please post here or PM me.
