Do Use these other left over commands too - https://gbatemp.net/threads/citra-unofficial-chinese-builds-discussion.431974/page-123#post-6854126

My final build worked fine, although some times to re-build you have to delete the build folder, are not commands not work again in MYSY2 , no idea why ..

There's a lot of strange things in there you don't need to do. No need to add mingw64 to your windows path. Don't need to install msys gcc and make. Have you tried the more... explicit ... Instructions that I added to the wiki page?

Ok thanks, the main .exe builds OK though, yep can remove a bit of that non need junk.

Not yet but will give it a go first thing in the morning.

Maybe a git of rounding up might be better
Ie like

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain
mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5 mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2
mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake git gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc
mingw-w64-x86_64-boost mingw-w64-x86_64-make
make base-devel Sy Syu Su git

Just remove the not neeeded ones gcc est ^
But put warning may take 6GB of your HDD

EDIT: also note to make sure all source files are in you C:\msys64\home\"User-Name"
Folder, make it easy-er that way while using commands .

EDIT: seams to be building a lot faster then be four .

EDIT: anyone know about the building flags ?, AVX / SSE2 / 3 / 4.1 est ?

-j4 means use 4 cores for building. Increase that number up to the number of cores you have to speed up compile times. Also the wiki already has the exact list of things that you need to install. Anything else is extraneous. Compile flags and crap like that need to be edited into the cmakelist file

Aw got you, thank so much for this information be very useful .
I wish I could do that but not much knowledge about how to do them flags, maybe Dampih could let us know how he did that ?.

Anyway, thanks again and good night from this end, good day to you.

I suppose, is done manual but would need to auto link the needed .dll library's

Look at this fragment of CMakeLists.txt:

if (MINGW)
add_definitions(-DMINGW_HAS_SECURE_API=1 -DMICROPROFILE_ENABLED=0)
set(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} -msse -msse2")
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -msse -msse2")

Two last lines... there you have specified the secret of the optimization flags, simply add the desired ones (-mavx, -msse4...)

"auto link" the dlls...? you mean build a static build? I put a little blurb about that at the end of the wiki article

Try 20-11-2016 GDMK build ,it can run the game without FPS drop and random freeze is reduce as compared to 15-9 build , only 3 build can run the game without FPS drop,which are 3-9.15-9 & 20-11 builds......

 

[ClockWork91]

Looks like Bravely Default and Second fixes aren't live on the new bleeding edge build.

Had to re-install the previous BE version and apply the files provided by drwhojan(Thank you so very much btw! Was trying to compile a version with shrds' fixes forever and kept failing)

Anyway just wanted to give ppl a heads up regarding the Bravely series and citra.

Hi,

I managed to make a build using the wiki page instructions, but I need to change two things:

1. cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
gives error compiler not found. I changed it:
cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/mingw64 ..
And it worked perfectly.

2. For static build:
Add -DMINGW_STATIC_BUILD to the cmake command line
Process aborted, bad sintax. I changed it to:
Add -DMINGW_STATIC_BUILD=true to the cmake command line.
And it started building, but returned an error at 96%:
[ 96%] Linking CXX executable citra-qt.exe
CMakeFiles\citra-qt.dir/objects.a(main.cpp.obj):main.cpp.text.startup+0xe): undefined reference to `qt_static_plugin_QWindowsIntegrationPlugin()'
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

And I have mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5-static installed.

GDMK @ baidu 20.11.2016.7zip now out.

November 20 edition

where is this build your talking about?

 

[DestinyFeather]

There are reports that the gdmk build is still experiencing slowdowns.
EDIT: 21 has no drop

 

[-Sorun]

I don't think were allowed to post links for the chinese builds. I got you though fam.

EDIT: 21 has no drop

Oh nice just found it going to give it a try.

21 is perfect.

The scaling options is interesting, but like the 20.11 build I can't get my gamepad to work even if I manually type it in the config unlike the 9/15 9/24 builds. I'm also seeing about 3 frames less then the 20.11 build, still that won't be a problem if it stable.

It doesn't seem to crash and there's no frame drop

Shouldn't have to do that. That means that you are probably not in the mingw64 shell since it should be set up with /mingw64/bin in the path already (that or your mingw64 shell is borked.)

2. For static build:
Add -DMINGW_STATIC_BUILD to the cmake command line
Process aborted, bad sintax. I changed it to:
Add -DMINGW_STATIC_BUILD=true to the cmake command line.

-DMINGW_STATIC_BUILD=1 is fine as well, it just has to be non zero. I'll update the wiki then since its a little misleading

And it started building, but returned an error at 96%:
[ 96%] Linking CXX executable citra-qt.exe

Do you still have the non static qt5 installed? If so, i'm guessing cmake is finding the non static QT5 instead of the static one, so it can't link. Check the CMakeCache to see what the Qt5_DIR variable is, If its not the directory to qt5-static then you need to explicitly set the Qt5_DIR to the location of qt5-static instead. ( -DQt5_DIR=/path/to/qt5-static )

Yea I liked the 21-11 version too, but 20-11 was really bad. So Im happy he fixed that. Was afraid he was going afk for another month

Im not a pro or anything (since im new with this too) but I think you have to add C:\msys64\mingw64\bin to system variables Path.
