In order to compile 86Box from this repository, please follow this step-by-step
guide:
1. Download the development environment from http://tinyurl.com/de86box.
Afterwards, extract it to your desired location. Of course, also clone
the repository in your desired location. Downloading ZIPs is not recommended,
as it makes it more inconvenient to keep the code up-to-date. To avoid
issues, make sure neither path has spaces in it.
2. In the extracted environment folder, you will find a script called
`mingw32_shell.bat`. Launch it. There are other shell launching scripts
in there, but you should not use them.
3. Once launched, run `pacman -Syuu` in order to update the environment.
Depending on the state of the downloaded DE, you may need to run it twice
(once initially, and then again after re-entering the environment). Make sure
to keep the enviroment up-to-date by re-running the command periodically.
4. Run the following commands to install the missing packages:
* `pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-libpng`
* `pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-freetype`
* `pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-ghostscript`
* `pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-SDL2`
5. Once the environment is fully updated, `cd` into your cloned `86box\src`
1. Install the [MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org/) environment. The rest of the guide will refer to the directory that you install it to (C:\msys32 or C:\msys64 by default) as the MSYS2 root.
2. Launch your MSYS2 environment using the `MSYS2 MinGW 32-bit` shortcut.
3. Once launched, run `pacman -Syu` in order to update the environment. You may need to do this twice, just follow the on-screen instructions. Make sure you re-run `pacman -Syu` periodically to keep the environment up-to-date.
4. Run the following command to install all of the dependencies: `pacman -S gdb make git mingw-w64-i686-toolchain mingw-w64-i686-openal mingw-w64-i686-freetype mingw-w64-i686-SDL2 mingw-w64-i686-zlib mingw-w64-i686-libpng mingw-w64-i686-ghostscript`. Additionally, you will need to download the developer's pack of WinPcap [from here](https://www.winpcap.org/devel.htm), and extract it into `<MSYS2 root>\mingw32\`.
5. Once the environment is fully updated and all dependencies are installed, `cd` into your cloned `86box\src`
directory.
6. Run `make -jN -f win/makefile.mingw` to start the actual compilation process.
Substitute `N` with the number of threads you want to use for the compilation
