How to compile the emulator with debugger enabled?

[wavedevice]

Hello. I am trying to compile mgba on linux 32 bit using the following steps:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIXATH=/usr ..
make
sudo make install

But the debugger is not enabled on the final ./mgba binary. When I press F11 in the emulator, nothing happens. How can I force the compilation of the debugger? Is this debugger specific for gba, or does it work on gbc roms?

Make sure libedit/editline and associated development headers are installed.

Ok. I cleaned the files, installed libedit and editline and compiled again, but still it's not possible to start the debugger. There are some way to force the use of the debugger on the source code?

Did you pass -d to mgba when starting it?

Did you pass -d to mgba when starting it?

Oh! Now it works, with the -d option
Thank you very much \o/


One more thing -> do you know how I can enable/compile/use the python extensions of mgba?

you need to pass -DBUILD_PYTHON=ON to cmake (and make sure you have the python dev headers installed), and then rebuild. If all goes well, you'll have a directory called python in your build dir, which you can enter and do python setup.py install or develop. I don't recommend the former if you're not using a virtualenv. The interfaces kind of rough at the moment and you can't use it from the UI (although in master you can use it from the debugger with the source command). The API isn't documented yet since it's fairly in flux.
