SoniCPort
Sonic the Hedgehog (1991, Sega Genesis / MegaDrive) C Port
Dependencies
- SDL2 (if
BACKENDis set toSDL2) - pkg-config (for builds that require static-linkage)
Building
This project uses CMake, allowing it to be built with a range of compilers.
Switch to the terminal and cd into this folder.
After that, generate the files for your build system with:
cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
MSYS2 users should append -G"MSYS Makefiles" -DPKG_CONFIG_STATIC_LIBS=ON to this command, also.
You can also add the following flags:
| Name | Function |
|---|---|
-DBACKEND=SDL2 |
Use the SDL2 backend (default) |
-DREV01=ON |
Compile a REV01 ROM |
-DJAPANESE=ON |
Compile a Japanese ROM |
-DFIX_BUGS=ON |
Fix bugs that are blatant screw-ups that may harm performance (not gameplay bugs) |
-DLTO=ON |
Enable link-time optimisation |
-DMSVC_LINK_STATIC_RUNTIME=ON |
Link the static MSVC runtime library, to reduce the number of required DLL files (Visual Studio only) |
You can pass your own compiler flags with -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS and -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS.
You can then compile the executable with this command:
cmake --build build --config Release
