Install dependencies from Homebrew:
Command: brew install autoconf automake [email protected] ccache ffmpeg fmt glslang hidapi libtool libusb lz4 ninja nlohmann-json openssl pkg-config qt@5 sdl2 speexdsp zlib zlib zst
Build with debug symbols (vcpkg is not currently used due to a broken boost-context library), the command is:
mkdir build && cd build
export Qt5_DIR=”/opt/homebrew/opt/qt@5/lib/cmake”
cmake .. -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DYUZU_USE_BUNDLED_VCPKG=OFF -DYUZU_TESTS=OFF -DENABLE_WEB_SERVICE=OFF -DENABLE_LIBUSB=OFF
ninja
1: TODO: use newer vcpkg. This fixes the boost context library and allows using the web service
2: TODO: figure out what’s up with libusb
