    Unzip the amaya-sources-xxx.tgz and follow the instructions.
    I suggest you to install it on C:\src

  3. Compile freetype :

    Open the workspace C:\src\freetype-xx\builds\win32\visualc\freetype.dsw
    Run in the menu : Build -> Batch Build -> Rebuild All
    (check all items if they are not checked)

    Execute amaya.exe

If an error occures verify you have correct installed libraries (configure should check that libraries are correctly installed). If the error persists, please report it to the Amaya developers mailing list.

How to debug OpenGL in Amaya (with Mesa)

  1. You must compile Mesa with debuging flags :
  2. You must setup MESA_DEBUG environment variable. Add this line the your ~/.bash_profile : 
    export MESA_DEBUG="XXX"

    Replace XXX by varray, tex, imm, pipe, driver, state, api, list, lighting, or flush.

    example : export MESA_DEBUG="list" will display debuging info about opengl display lists.
