MSXBUILD

Utils to use openMSX in build pipelines.

You can use these scripts as-is. the files in the lib are all you need.
But as always, feel free to extend it for your specific needs or contribute a fix or feature.

Features

  • Allows parallel headless openMSX build pipeline
  • openMSX safe exit failure guards
  • Automatic disk image import + export per build step
  • Downloads and caches resources from msxhub.com
  • Auto magic openMSX extensions and machine rom's setup
  • SDCC msx build steps
  • Screenshot and/or video output of full build
  • Embedded documentation of make options

Dependencies

  • make + wget + tar + awk + grep + dos2unix
  • sdcc
  • openmsx
  • ffmpeg
  • rsync

For debian use;

apt-get install make wget tar gawk grep dos2unix sdcc openmsx ffmpeg rsync

Usage Classic

Have access or copy the lib folder in your project and start writing make files.

Include the lib/make/msxbuild.mk and override the paths if needed;

  • PATH_SDCC=/usr/bin
  • PATH_OPENMSX=/usr/bin

Usage Docker

Example Project

When you want to see whats happening do a debug run;

normal run;
	time make bin/@assert-all
	real    0m3.223s

debug run at 11 Mhz;
	time VERBOSE=on MB_OPENMSX_HEADLESS=off MB_OPENMSX_THROTTLE=on make bin/@assert-all
	real    1m4.856s

debug run real msx speed;
	time VERBOSE=on MB_OPENMSX_HEADLESS=off MB_OPENMSX_THROTTLE=on MB_OPENMSX_SPEED=100 make bin/@assert-all
	real    2m37.379s

record run with screenshot on exit; (black screens without throttle)
	time MB_OPENMSX_HEADLESS=off MB_OPENMSX_THROTTLE=on MB_FLIGHT_SCREEN=on make bin/@assert-all
	real    1m14.043s

record run with video per session and merge to one video file;
	time MB_OPENMSX_HEADLESS=off MB_FLIGHT_VIDEO=on make bin/@assert-all
	real    0m7.136s

build parallel;
	time make -j4 bin/@assert-all
	real    0m1.817s

manual test msxhub on machine;
	make DIST_QA_MSXHUB_MACHINE=Philips_VG_8000 bin/dist-qa-msxhub/@run

Errata

  • Doesn't work on windows
  • TODO: mbboot80+add arg prefix and move to other repro + msxhub package
  • TODO: Missing C and mixed support
  • TODO: Use TCL for BASIC/ASM/C lcov (Cobertura) code coverage

OpenMSX backlog issues

  • (FIXED:SDL is removed) Bug: screenshots sometimes segfaults when using SDL renderer
  • Bug: screenshots don't work without throttle
  • Bug: Imported folders in openMSX; cd utils;cd ..;dir breaks, use cd utils:cd a:\;dir as workaround
  • (FIXED) Audio device init option + warning messages on computer without sound card
  • MIDI device init option + warning messages on computer without sound card
  • Enhancing the IDE CD-ROM support
  • Command setcolor does not work on MSX1 vdp TMS9918
  • Diskmanipulator export (sync) fully non-cased filename compare (duplicates)
  • Diskmanipulator export (sync) don't touch/overwrite unmodified files
  • Diskmanipulator reuse the device defined filename
  • run instance-id or run/process-label to replace hardcoded "untitled1" path
  • Remove msg or add ignore sram-fully or blank setting: SRAM file nms8250.cmos not found, assuming blank SRAM content.
  • Video record append mode + optional multiple previds to glue videos as one
  • Video record remove blue start frame on start of recording
  • (FIXED) Allow for set renderer none in TCL or command argument for headless mode
  • SDL-NULL as window less renderer so that screenshot and/or video works headless
  • DocUpdate: Add speed note because it is slow + add example "after quit {export hdd}"
  • DocUpdate: Wrap all TCL commands in catch+stderr+exit1
  • DocUpdate: Add 'headless' example via stdio+new + link to control omsxctl
