Trying to compile Snex9x on Linux with GDK support

Post by GameCodingNinja »

I assume I need the GDK support to have the GUI interface. It builds fine but I only get the command line interface. I can play a ROM from the command line but I would like the GUI interface to configure a wireless XBox 360 controller. Plus there's other neat features the GUI interface provides.

tried...
./configure
./configure --with-gdk
./configure --with-gdk3

The readme_unix.html doesn't provide any build instructions so I have no idea if there's something I need to do that I'm not doing.

Here's the output from the last ./configure --with-gdk. It doesn't indicate that I'm missing anything so I'm a bit confused. Any help would be appreciated.

Code: Select all

./configure --with-gtk

never mind. I was compiling the Unix build by mistake. Didn't see the GTK build option. Everything builds and works correctly. Thanks for the amazing snes emulator!
