This page is an adaptation of the GTK3 build instructions included in the text file '''vice-3.6.1/doc/building/Windows-MinGW-GTK3-Howto.txt''' included in the archive vice-3.6.1.tar.gz

  1. Get an updated MSYS2 installation
pacman -Syu
  1. Install the needed components
pacman -S --noconfirm --needed base-devel pactoys
pacboy sync SDL2 SDL2_image SDL2_ttf autotools pkg-config gcc ntldd zip: p7zip: subversion: giflib icoutils ffmpeg flac mpg123
  1. Extract the archive
tar xvf vice-3.6.1.tar.gz
  1. Enter the directory and run autogen.sh
cd vice-3.6.1
./autogen.sh
  1. Back out of the directory and make a special working directory for SDL2-VICE. This will allow for the easy compilation of vice-emu with multiple interface options.
cd ..
mkdir sdl2-vice
  1. Now, enter the directory and configure the build. Explanation of the switches below
cd ../sdl2-vice
../vice-3.6.1/configure -C --enable-sdl2ui --disable-pdfdocs --enable-htmldocs --enable-platformdox
