Compiling/debugging ppsspp in NetBeans and Eclipse

[Kyousuke]

I'm trying to import the ppsspp for windows source code in NetBeans or Eclipse but when I try it in NetBeans, after selecting the ppsspp-master folder it gives this error:

Code:

Cannot run program "cmake" (in directory "C:\PPSSPP\EXTRA\ppsspp-master"): CreateProcess error=2, Cannot find the specified file


CMAKE FAILED (exit value -1, total time: 379949h 9m 32s)

While in Eclipse:

Code:

Errors occurred during the build.
Errors running builder 'CDT Builder' on project 'ppsspp-master'.
Internal error building project ppsspp-master configuration Debug
java.lang.NullPointerException
Internal error building project ppsspp-master configuration Debug
java.lang.NullPointerException

What IDE should I use to compile/debug the source code from github? I know about visual c++/studio but I'm having some problem with some files atm and I can't use it.

Are you trying to build for Windows, or for Android?

Anyway, it sounds like you may not have cmake installed. You can try running cmake manually to verify.

For windows, atm I don't have any android device so I cannot test the android version yet, about cmake probably I haven't installed it, downloading right now.

EDIT: the compiler was missing too, resolved with cygwin, but it's giving a different error now:

Code:

Probably I didn't set it to open the windows project only, with Visual C++ it was easy just clicking the .SLN file but how do I set it in NetBeans? when I open the ppsspp folder there're no selectable options and if I try to select only the windows folder, it doesn't work because there's no cmake file in it, should I copy cmakelists.txt and modify something inside it?

(or is the SDL library another thing I've to install through cygwin? I'm googling it now anyway)

Yeah, the SDL library is something else to install. That said, it lacks a lot of features that the Qt and Windows ports have.
