Build instructions

Windows

Prerequisites:

  • A recent version of Visual Studio 2022 with CMake tools component
  • git
  • Vulkan SDK (https://vulkan.lunarg.com/). Don't forget to restart after installing.

Instructions:

  1. Run git clone --recursive https://github.com/cemu-project/Cemu
  2. Launch Cemu/build_vs_solution.bat. If you installed VS to a custom location you may need to manually adjust the path inside the bat file
  3. Wait until done, then open build/Cemu.sln in Visual Studio
  4. Right click 'CemuBin' project -> Set as startup project
  5. Then build the solution and once finished you can run and debug it

You can also skip steps 3-5 and open the root folder of the cloned repo directly in Visual Studio (as a folder) and use the inbuilt cmake support, but be warned that cmake support in VS can be a bit finicky.

Linux

To compile Cemu, a recent enough compiler and STL with C++20 support is required! We use clang 12, other compilers may work as well.

For ubuntu and most derivatives:

  1. Make sure vulkansdk is installed and the VULKAN_SDK environment variable is set correctly.
  2. sudo apt install -y libgtk-3-dev libsecret-1-dev libgcrypt20-dev libsystemd-dev freeglut3-dev clang-12 nasm
  3. Run git clone --recursive https://github.com/cemu-project/Cemu
  4. cd Cemu
  5. mkdir build && cd build
  6. cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang-12 -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang++-12 -G Ninja -DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM=/usr/bin/ninja

Build instructions for other distributions will be added in the future!
