### Building on windows using MSYS2
clone the repo with submodules
```
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/hedge-dev/XenonRecomp.git
```
download msys2 from the official website and install it
run msys2 ucrt64
install clang and cmake on msys2
```
pacman -S mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-clang
pacman -S mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-cmake
```
go into the folder
set env vars temporarily so that cmake uses clang instead of gcc, this has to be done every time
```
export CC=clang
export CXX=clang++
```
build the project
```
cmake -S . -B build -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
cmake --build build
```

This project could not have been possible without the [Xenia](https://github.com/xenia-project/xenia) emulator, as many parts of the CPU code conversion process has been implemented by heavily referencing its PPC code translator. The project also uses code from [Xenia Canary](https://github.com/xenia-canary/xenia-canary) to patch XEX binaries.
