Building for Solaris

Dependencies.

Always consult the OpenIndiana package list to cross-verify availability.

Run the usual update + install of essential toolings: sudo pkg update && sudo pkg install git cmake.

• gcc: sudo pkg install developer/gcc-14.
• clang: Version 20 is broken, use sudo pkg install developer/clang-19.

Then install the libraies: sudo pkg install qt6 boost glslang libzip library/lz4 nlohmann-json openssl opus sdl2 zlib compress/zstd unzip pkg-config nasm autoconf mesa library/libdrm header-drm developer/fmt.

Building

Clone eden with git git clone --recursive https://git.eden-emu.dev/eden-emu/eden

# Needed for some dependencies that call cc directly (tz)
echo '#!/bin/sh' >cc
echo 'gcc $@' >>cc
chmod +x cc
export PATH="$PATH:$PWD"

Patch for FFmpeg:

sed -i 's/ make / gmake /' externals/ffmpeg/CMakeFiles/ffmpeg-build.dir/build.make

• Configure: cmake -B build -DYUZU_USE_CPM=ON -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-I/usr/include/SDL2" -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-I/usr/include/SDL2".
• Build: cmake --build build.
• Installing: sudo cmake --install build.

Running

Default Mesa is a bit outdated, the following environment variables should be set for a smoother experience:

export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.6
export MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=460
export MESA_EXTENSION_MAX_YEAR=2025
export MESA_DEBUG=1
export MESA_VK_VERSION_OVERRIDE=1.3
# Only if nvidia/intel drm drivers cause crashes, will severely hinder performance
export LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1

Notes

• Modify the generated ffmpeg.make (in build dir) if using multiple threads (base system make doesn't use -j4, so change for gmake).
• If using OpenIndiana, due to a bug in SDL2 cmake configuration; Audio driver defaults to SunOS <sys/audioio.h>, which does not exist on OpenIndiana.
• System OpenSSL generally does not work. Instead, use -DYUZU_USE_CPM=ON to use a bundled static OpenSSL, or build a system dependency from source.
