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

Dependencies

• make + wget + tar + dos2unix
• sdcc
• openmsx
• ffmpeg

For debian use;

apt-get install make wget tar dos2unix sdcc openmsx ffmpeg

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 assert-all
	real    0m3.223s

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

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

debug run with screenshot on exit; (Segfaults if using (old) SDL, or/and black screens without throttle)
	time MB_OPENMSX_HEADLESS=off MB_OPENMSX_THROTTLE=on MB_FLIGHT_SCREEN=on make -s assert-all
	real    1m14.043s

debug run with video recorder and merge to one video file;
	time MB_OPENMSX_HEADLESS=off MB_FLIGHT_VIDEO=on make -s assert-all
	real    0m7.136s

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

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

• Doesn't work on windows
• TODO: Missing C and mixed support
• TODO: Use TCL for BASIC/ASM/C lcov (Cobertura) code coverage

OpenMSX backlog issues

• 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
• Audio+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 fully non-cased filename compare (duplicates)
• 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
• 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
