Compile WinUAE 1.46 with completely free tools

Here is the new guide to compile WinUAE 1.46 with completely free tools:

Well here is the final and simple solution to WinUAE compilation.
Instead of writing a long list of web links for each and every piece of the
files required, I have just prepared two simple 'add on' archives to keep it simple. Here we go :

1- Goto to the http://www.microsoft.com/express/download/ site and download the VC++ Express edition.
I downloaded the complete package which is around 900mb iso file (as usual for MS downloads ).
You may try web install if you have a low bandwidth.

If you wish to have a full development environment then download the
following two files as well:

Directx SDK as of Nov. 2007
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
This download is around 427 mb

Windows Driver Kit (WDK)
Open http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/DevTools/WDK/WDKpkg.mspx site
and login with a ms live-id and follow the instructions to get the
633mb big WDK_WS08RC1.iso file.

2- Of course you should get the actual sources of WinUAE 1.46 from
here http://www.winuae.net/files/source/winuaesrc1460.zip
and extract it somewhere (e.g. c:\work\winuaesrc1460)

3- Download this add-on archive :
Filename : R1460_winuaesrc_add.rar
http://.com/files/90185267...uaesrc_add.rar
http:///?id=yom70v


4- Download Visual C++ Express edition addons (.h & .lib files)
from here :

Filename : R1460_VC_add.rar
http://.com/files/90185104/R1460_VC_add.rar
http:///?id=stl90d

(962 KB) and extract on top of VC folder located at :
<DRIVE>:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC

5- Winuae msvc config is missing assembly on project description.
to fix this issue just do the following once:

Open a command-shell and goto winuae source folder

C:\>cd c:\work\winuaesrc1460\od-win32
C:\work\winuaesrc1460\od-win32>

and execute asm_new.bat file
C:\work\winuaesrc1460\od-win32>asm_new.bat

which will invoke nasm.exe and create two object files of the hq2x* filters.

6- Now launch Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition and goto
File->Project->Open Project/Solution and select

winuaesrc1460\od-win32\winuae_msvc\winuae_msvc.sln

7- Switch to Release / Win32 solution config on toolbar.

8- On the solution explorer list compile each of the following by right-clicking and selecting 'Build'

build68k,
genblitter,
gencomp,
gencpu,
genlinetoscr and finally
winuae

Cross the fingers and get your fresh WinUAE.exe located on d:\amiga\winuae.exe

Happy compiling ..
