Mac Build Instructions

Instructions for building emulator on MacOS.

Emulator uses following libraries:

  • SDL2 library to implement integration with display, sound and input devices.
  • gettext library to implement internationalization.

To install those libraries using Homebrew issue this command:

brew instal sdl2 gettext

Find where SDL library was installed, it should look something like that /usr/local/Cellar/sdl2/2.28.4 although version number will likely be different. This location will be needed for adjustments in the Makefile.

Open Makefile for editing and make following changes:

  • Change CC variable definition to add location of the include folder of the SDL2 library, assuming library is located at same location as above add this -I/usr/local/Cellar/sdl2/2.28.4/include.
  • Replace /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSDL.so with /usr/local/lib/libSDL2.dylib
  • Uncomment line GETTEXT_LIB = /usr/local/lib/libintl.dylib

Now if you run make it should compile successfully.

You should be able to start emulator by issuing command:

BK_PATH=Rom ./bk -1 -c
