How to compile on linux?

[bgK]

Now, to get to the reason I signed up, I've compiled the latest SVN on ArchLinux and vbam itself works wonderful. On the other hand, gvbam, segfaults without giving any useful error. Is there anything I can do to help figure out why it does this?

 

You can build a debug version by running "cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug . && make"

And then generate a backtrace using gdb :

gdb ./gvbam

Type bt in the gdb console to get a backtrace.

 

You think there has to be a rewrite in order to add some dialogs!?!

Not a full rewrite of course, but the config handling routines have to be rewritten to get a proper and maintainable code.

I followed this exactly, and get:

Code: Select all

Oh right I forgot the most important step : you have to run the program :

gdb ./gvbam

run

bt

[elliott]

Thanks for the backtrace. I've been able to reproduce the crash on my system (by using a recent MESA GL driver instead of the one provided by nVidia). However I've not been able to fix it yet.

 

A workaround until the bug is fixed is to use a different output module in VBA-M.

To use the Xv output module, modify the config file (~/.config/gvbam/config), to something like :

Code: Select all

[Display]
output=2

[elliott]

Thanks, that worked great.

Hi, I want to compile the program, but I have a question:

 

is there a GUI written in Qt instead of GTK?}

 

Thanks:badger:

[ZachBacon]

qt port is still in the making, and not yet complete enough to use, use the gtk build for now, until sufficient attention to the qt port is ready.

Thanks a lot for your answer [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png[/img]/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /> :banana_confusion:

 

EDIT:

 

already I compiled and installed the emulator, apparently it does not have cheat support...

 

can I do a request about it?

[bunnymanguy]

i'm absolutley new to any of this stuff, so could anybody explain step by step how to do this? I know it sounds like a retarded question but haven't got a about any of this. also, are you talking about gba link, or is that different?
