This program depends on CMake, SDL2 (at least version 2.0.7), libpng (at least version 1.6) and zlib.

sudo apt install cmake libsdl2-dev libpng-dev

If you want to build the emulator with GB Camera support, you need to install OpenCV 4 as well. If OpenCV is detected during the build process, it will be used. If not, the emulator won't have webcam support.

sudo apt install libopencv-dev

If you want to support Lua scripts, you need to install Lua 5.2 or higher as well. If it is detected during the build process, it will be used. If not, the emulator won't have Lua scripts support. For example:

sudo apt install liblua5.3-dev

In order to build GiiBiiAdvance with the default set of options, type:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

To build it faster, do a parallel build with:

make -j`nproc`

For a release build:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make -j`nproc`
