🖥 Build Instructions (Authorized Developers Only)

Clone Recursively

git clone --recurse-submodules -j8 <PRIVATE_REPO_URL>

Keep submodules updated:

git submodule update --init --recursive --remote

On Windows:

Open CMD in the repo folder, then run the following

• To build using Visual Studio

  set "CMAKE_GENERATOR=Visual Studio 18 2026"
  third-party\common\win\premake\premake5.exe --file=premake5-deps.lua --64-build --32-build   --all-ext --all-build --verbose --os=windows vs2026
  

• To build using MSYS2 this is currently experimental and will not work due to ABI differences

  steps

  (Optional) In both cases below, you can use Clang compiler instead of GCC by running these 2 commands in the same terminal instance

  export CC="clang"
  export CXX="clang++"
  

  • To build 64-bit binaries (UCRT64 or MINGW64)

  export CMAKE_GENERATOR="MSYS Makefiles"
  ./third-party/common/win/premake/premake5.exe --file=premake5-deps.lua --64-build --all-ext --all-build --verbose   --os=windows gmake2
  

  • To build 32-bit binaries (MINGW32)

  export CMAKE_GENERATOR="MSYS Makefiles"
  ./third-party/common/win/premake/premake5.exe --file=premake5-deps.lua --32-build --all-ext --all-build --verbose   --os=windows gmake2
  

Windows Requirements

• Windows 10 / 11
• Visual Studio 2022 (Desktop development with C++)
• Latest Windows SDK
• Python 3.10+

Build Dependencies

set "CMAKE_GENERATOR=Visual Studio 17 2022"
third-party\common\win\premake\premake5.exe --file=premake5-deps.lua --64-build --32-build --all-ext --all-build --verbose --os=windows vs2022

Build Emulator

third-party\common\win\premake\premake5.exe --file=premake5.lua --genproto --os=windows vs2022

---

Building the emu

On Windows:

Open CMD in the repo folder, then run the following

• For Visual Studio 2022

  third-party\common\win\premake\premake5.exe --file=premake5.lua --genproto --os=windows vs2026
  

  You can then go to the folder build\project\vs2026\win and open the produced .sln file in Visual Studio.
  Or, if you prefer to do it from command line, open the Developer Command Prompt for VS 2026 inside the above folder, then:

  msbuild /nologo /v:n /p:Configuration=release,Platform=Win32 gbe.slnx
  
  msbuild /nologo /v:n /p:Configuration=release,Platform=x64 gbe.slnx
  

• For MSYS2 this is currently experimental and will not work due to ABI differences

  steps

  ./third-party/common/win/premake/premake5.exe --file=premake5.lua --genproto --os=windows gmake2
  
  

Build Dependencies

export CMAKE_GENERATOR="Unix Makefiles"
./third-party/common/linux/premake/premake5 --file=premake5-deps.lua --64-build --32-build --all-ext --all-build --verbose --os=linux gmake2

Build Emulator

./third-party/common/linux/premake/premake5 --file=premake5.lua --genproto --os=linux gmake2
cd ./build/project/gmake2/linux
make config=release_x64 -j 8 all

🧱 CI Usage

GitHub CI workflows are restricted to authorized forks only.

If using CI internally:

• Enable Actions permissions
• Trigger workflows on approved branches
• Clear dependency caches when updating third-party libraries

Build artifacts are not to be redistributed.

---

📦 Packaging (Internal Only)

Windows

package_win.bat <build_folder>

build_folder is any folder inside build\win, for example: vs2026\release
The above example will create a .7z archive inside build\package\win\

Linux

package_linux.sh <build_folder>

Generated archives are for authorized distribution only.
