# Dependencies To build Eden, you MUST have a C++ compiler. * On Linux, this is usually [GCC](https://gcc.gnu.org/) 11+ or [Clang](https://clang.llvm.org/) v14+ - GCC 12 also requires Clang 14+ * On Windows, this is either: - **[MSVC](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/)** (you should select *Community* option), * *A convenience script to install the Visual Community Studio 2022 with necessary tools is provided in `.ci/windows/install-msvc.ps1`* - clang-cl - can be downloaded from the MSVC installer, - or **[MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org)** * On macOS, this is Apple Clang - This can be installed with `xcode-select --install` The following additional tools are also required: * **[CMake](https://www.cmake.org/)** 3.22+ - already included with the Android SDK * **[Git](https://git-scm.com/)** for version control - **[Windows installer](https://gitforwindows.org)** * On Windows, you must install the **[Vulkan SDK](https://vulkan.lunarg.com/sdk/home#windows)** as well - *A convenience script to install the latest SDK is provided in `.ci/windows/install-vulkan-sdk.ps1`* If you are on desktop and plan to use the Qt frontend, you *must* install Qt 6, and optionally Qt Creator (the recommended IDE for building) * On Linux, *BSD and macOS, this can be done by the package manager - If you wish to use Qt Creator, append `qtcreator` or `qt-creator` to the commands seen below. * MSVC/clang-cl users on Windows must install through the [official installer](https://www.qt.io/download-qt-installer-oss) * Linux and macOS users may choose to use the installer as well. * MSYS2 can also install Qt 6 via the package manager If you are on Windows and NOT building with MSYS2, you may go [back home](Build.md) and continue. ## Externals The following are handled by Eden's externals: * [FFmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/) (should use `-DYUZU_USE_EXTERNAL_FFMPEG=ON`) * [SDL2](https://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php) 2.0.18+ (should use `-DYUZU_USE_EXTERNAL_SDL2=ON` OR `-DYUZU_USE_BUNDLED_SDL2=ON` to reduce compile time) All other dependencies will be downloaded and built by [CPM](https://github.com/cpm-cmake/CPM.cmake/) if `YUZU_USE_CPM` is on, but will always use system dependencies if available (UNIX-like only): * [Boost](https://www.boost.org/users/download/) 1.57.0+ * [Catch2](https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2) 3.0.1 if `YUZU_TESTS` or `DYNARMIC_TESTS` are on * [fmt](https://fmt.dev/) 8.0.1+ * [lz4](http://www.lz4.org) * [nlohmann\_json](https://github.com/nlohmann/json) 3.8+ * [OpenSSL](https://www.openssl.org/source/) 1.1.1+ * [ZLIB](https://www.zlib.net/) 1.2+ * [zstd](https://facebook.github.io/zstd/) 1.5+ * [enet](http://enet.bespin.org/) 1.3+ * [Opus](https://opus-codec.org/) 1.3+ * [MbedTLS](https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls) 3+ Vulkan 1.3.274+ is also needed: * [VulkanUtilityLibraries](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Utility-Libraries) * [VulkanHeaders](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Headers) * [SPIRV-Tools](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools) * [SPIRV-Headers](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Headers) Certain other dependencies will be fetched by CPM regardless. System packages *can* be used for these libraries, but many are either not packaged by most distributions OR have issues when used by the system: * [SimpleIni](https://github.com/brofield/simpleini) * [DiscordRPC](https://github.com/eden-emulator/discord-rpc) * [cubeb](https://github.com/mozilla/cubeb) * [libusb](https://github.com/libusb/libusb) * [VulkanMemoryAllocator](https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/VulkanMemoryAllocator) * [sirit](https://github.com/eden-emulator/sirit) * [httplib](https://github.com/yhirose/cpp-httplib) - if `ENABLE_QT_UPDATE_CHECKER` or `ENABLE_WEB_SERVICE` are on * [cpp-jwt](https://github.com/arun11299/cpp-jwt) 1.4+ - if `ENABLE_WEB_SERVICE` is on * [unordered-dense](https://github.com/martinus/unordered_dense) * [mcl](https://github.com/azahar-emu/mcl) - subject to removal On amd64: * [xbyak](https://github.com/herumi/xbyak) - 7.22 or earlier is recommended * [zycore](https://github.com/zyantific/zycore-c) * [zydis](https://github.com/zyantific/zydis) 4+ * Note: zydis and zycore-c MUST match. Using one as a system dependency and the other as a bundled dependency WILL break things On aarch64 OR if `DYNARMIC_TESTS` is on: * [oaknut](https://github.com/merryhime/oaknut) 2.0.1+ On riscv64: * [biscuit](https://github.com/lioncash/biscuit) 0.9.1+ ## Commands These are commands to install all necessary dependencies on various Linux and BSD distributions, as well as macOS.

macOS Install dependencies from **[Homebrew](https://brew.sh/)** ```sh brew install autoconf automake boost ffmpeg fmt glslang hidapi libtool libusb lz4 ninja nlohmann-json openssl pkg-config qt@6 sdl2 speexdsp zlib zstd cmake Catch2 molten-vk vulkan-loader spirv-tools ``` If you are compiling on Intel Mac, or are using a Rosetta Homebrew installation, you must replace all references of `/opt/homebrew` with `/usr/local`. To run with MoltenVK, install additional dependencies: ```sh brew install molten-vk vulkan-loader ```
FreeBSD ``` devel/cmake devel/sdl20 devel/boost-libs devel/catch2 devel/libfmt devel/nlohmann-json devel/ninja devel/nasm devel/autoconf devel/pkgconf devel/qt6-base net/enet multimedia/ffnvcodec-headers multimedia/ffmpeg audio/opus archivers/liblz4 lang/gcc12 graphics/glslang graphics/vulkan-utility-libraries ``` If using FreeBSD 12 or prior, use `devel/pkg-config` instead.
OpenBSD ```sh pkg_add -u pkg_add cmake nasm git boost unzip--iconv autoconf-2.72p0 bash ffmpeg glslang gmake llvm-19.1.7p3 qt6 jq fmt nlohmann-json enet boost vulkan-utility-libraries vulkan-headers spirv-headers spirv-tools catch2 sdl2 libusb1.1.0.27 ```
Solaris / OpenIndiana Always consult [the OpenIndiana package list](https://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster/en/index.shtml) to cross-verify availability. Run the usual update + install of essential toolings: `sudo pkg update && sudo pkg install git cmake`. - **gcc**: `sudo pkg install developer/gcc-14`. - **clang**: Version 20 is broken, use `sudo pkg install developer/clang-19`. Then install the libraries: `sudo pkg install qt6 boost glslang libzip library/lz4 nlohmann-json openssl opus sdl2 zlib compress/zstd unzip pkg-config nasm autoconf mesa library/libdrm header-drm developer/fmt`.
MSYS2 * Open the `MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit` shell (`mingw64.exe`) * Download and install all dependencies using: * `pacman -Syu git make mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2 mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-x86_64-python-pip mingw-w64-x86_64-qt6 mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain autoconf libtool automake-wrapper` * Add MinGW binaries to the PATH: * `echo 'PATH=/mingw64/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc` * Add VulkanSDK to the PATH: * `echo 'PATH=$(readlink -e /c/VulkanSDK/*/Bin/):$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc`
## All Done You may now return to the **[root build guide](Build.md)**.
