Hello guys,

I try to compile the last version of fceu gx without touching it to understand how to compile it and I have that error:

c:/fceugx-3.3.9/fceugx-3.3.9/source/fceugx.h:92:21: error: 'MAXPATHLEN' was not declared in this scope

any idea what I am missing ?

thanks for your help :)

I have fixed the error, there some lib missing, but now I have theses errors. I think there is missing some libs again. Can someone post a link with a tutorial to install a working compiling environement for widnows ? :) Its a real pain to try each time until we have all the necessary lib to compile :)

Hello guys, I have found the necessary libs, but now I am stuck with this error. Any ideas ?

Nobody can help ? Im going insane trying to compile it lol

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I installed the last devkitpro with all the libs and portlibs.

As for the devkitppc, I have try both r24 version, r25, r26 and also the last version with no success.
 
TVPal576IntDfScale is now TVPal574IntDfScale. It's the same value.

I'm not sure what the _locale_ctype_ptr error is without seeing the line it's complaining about. You may need to recompile libmxml and make sure your source tree doesn't have something like a custom fat library that needs to be recompiled, too.

Thanks for your help :) I just change it and I don't have the TVPal error anymore.

I am confused a lot about which version of devkitpro to install, I try different scenario and I got differents errors of compilation.

My first try, I installed devkitpro with the last libogc and the last devkitppc.
If I try to compile it, here is the error I have:

I also installed the necessary portlibs into devkitpro/portlibs/ppc/
and I got compiling error that he cannot find the libs lmxml and all the others, until I manualy copy them into devkitpro/libogc/includes/ (for the .h files) and copying all .a into devkitpro/libogc/lib/wii/

Why it doesn't work out of the box if I let them into portlibs folder ?
 
You'll probably have to upgrade a bunch of stuff.

For that, add "#include <sys/param.h>" to the top of fceugx.h.

Also, in Makefile.Wii in the CFLAGS section add "-D_GNU_SOURCE" or you will get errors with some string functions.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

The libmxml on SourceForge is compiled for the older version of devkitPro. I'll attach a zip with a recompiled library file and header.

I just add the include, and the error of maxpathlen is fixed, thank you very much :)

I add the flag in makefile.wii and I also replace the mxml files with the one you attached.

Now I get this error when I compile:

I just try to replace devkitppc folder last version with r24 version, I don't have the errors above but now I got this error:

May I ask you a favor ? If you can build a successful env and send me back the devkitpro folder as a zip ? :) I can pay you for your time :) I try to make this work since 5 days lol
 
Nobody can help ? It seem I am not using the right ppc libs libgoc libs and portlibs libs to compile. There is no documentation anywhere to get the right libs.
 
Hello guys, I need help on this one. I have successfully compile the source. I try to modify the size of overscan black borders size. If I set the borderheight and borderwith to 8, it work just fine, if I set it to 4, it work too, but if I try to set it to 2, the render is very ugly. Any idea why ?

Does any one know how to reach Tantric ? maybe he is the only one who can help me with that part, since I am not familiar with the code, for him it could take couple of min to lead me to the right direction to change that function to have overscan of 2 instead of 8 :)

You could try opening an issue on GitHub with what you want help with and see if he responds.

He also has an account here. http://gbatemp.net/members/tantric.66260/

I try to go with logic to adapt the code to support borderwidth and borderheight of 2, but I just dont get it lol do you have any idea when you look at the code ? :)
