Meteor is a Nintendo Gameboy Advance emulator. The CLI and GTK frontends run only on Linux. You can use the libretro implementation if you want to run it on Microsoft Windows or if you want features from the retroarch frontend.
The libretro build is the recommended way to use Meteor. retroarch is an emulator frontend and Meteor is a backend implementation.
To build the libretro implementation, you need no dependency. Just go to the libretro folder and type make, this will create a meteor_libretro.so, meteor_libretro.dll or meteor_libretro.dylib.
To build Meteor, you need the following dependencies:
- CMake
- Gtkmm
- sigc++ (installed with gtkmm)
- libao
- SFML
- zlib
- OpenGL
Type the following commands to build Meteor:
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ make install
You may need root privileges for the last command. You can change the installation prefix by typing:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<prefix> ..
In the build directory type:
$ xargs rm < install_manifest.txt
You may need root privileges to do this.
