Building

CMake, fmt, OpenGL and SDL2 have to be installed before building.

Installation of dependencies:

• Arch: sudo pacman -S cmake sdl2 sdl2_image fmt
• Ubuntu: sudo apt install cmake libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libfmt-dev

On Linux, the emulator can be built in debug mode like this:

mkdir -p build/linux-debug
cmake --preset linux-debug
cmake --build --preset linux-debug

and in release mode like this:

mkdir build/linux-release
cmake --preset linux-release
cmake --build --preset linux-release

For other OSes, see CMakePresets.json. The OS in question might exist there.
