   1 # Building RatufaCoat
   2
   3 **RatufaCoat** should be simple to build.
   4
   5 ## SDL2
   6
   7 This requires that [CMake](https://cmake.org/) and
   8 [SDL2](https://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php) is installed.
   9
  10 To perform the build, you must do the following:
  11
  12  * Setup the project, note that other generators may be specified with
  13    the `-G` option if your situation requires it however the default
  14    may be enough:
  15    * `cmake .`
  16  * The next step depends on your operating system, whether that be launching
  17    an IDE or executing a command line option. However if your _CMake_ is
  18    new enough you may run the following:
  19    * `mkdir output`
  20    * `cmake --build output`
  21
  22 For an IDE, you can try [CLion](https://www.jetbrains.com/clion/).
  23
  24 ## libRetro
  25
  26 _libRetro_ uses a bit of an archaic build system consisting of makefiles, as
  27 such it requires `make` and `gcc`/`clang`/`MSVC`.
  28
  29 ### Windows
  30
  31 This requires that `mingw-w64` be installed, you can download it from:
  32
  33  * <https://mingw-w64.org/doku.php/download/mingw-builds>
  34
  35 Then to compile:
  36
  37  * 32-bit: `make -f makefilelibretro platform=windows_x86`
  38  * 64-bit: `make -f makefilelibretro platform=windows_x86_64`
