- Windows 8.1 and below

Arch Linux

Eden is also available as an AUR package. If you are unable to build, either use that or compare your process to the PKGBUILD.

Gentoo Linux

games-emulation/eden is available in the GURU. This repository also contains some additional dependencies, such as mcl, sirit, oaknut, etc.

If you're having issues with building, always consult that ebuild.

macOS

macOS is largely untested. Expect crashes, significant Vulkan issues, and other fun stuff.

Solaris

Qt Widgets appears to be broken. For now, add -DENABLE_QT=OFF to your configure command. In the meantime, a Qt Quick frontend is in the works--check back later!

This is needed for some dependencies that call cc directly (tz):

echo '#!/bin/sh' >cc
echo 'gcc $@' >>cc
chmod +x cc
export PATH="$PATH:$PWD"

Default MESA is a bit outdated, the following environment variables should be set for a smoother experience:

export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.6
export MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=460
export MESA_EXTENSION_MAX_YEAR=2025
export MESA_DEBUG=1
export MESA_VK_VERSION_OVERRIDE=1.3
# Only if nvidia/intel drm drivers cause crashes, will severely hinder performance
export LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1

Modify the generated ffmpeg.make (in build dir) if using multiple threads (base system make doesn't use -j4, so change for gmake).
If using OpenIndiana, due to a bug in SDL2's CMake configuration, audio driver defaults to SunOS <sys/audioio.h>, which does not exist on OpenIndiana. Using external or bundled SDL2 may solve this.
System OpenSSL generally does not work. Instead, use -DYUZU_USE_BUNDLED_OPENSSL=ON to use a bundled static OpenSSL, or build a system dependency from source.

HaikuOS

It's recommended to do a pkgman full-sync before installing. See HaikuOS: Installing applications. Sometimes the process may be interrupted by an error like "Interrupted syscall". Simply firing the command again fixes the issue. By default g++ is included on the default installation.

GPU support is generally lacking/buggy, hence it's recommended to only install pkgman install mesa_lavapipe. Performance is acceptable for most homebrew applications and even some retail games.

For reasons unberknownst to any human being, glslangValidator will crash upon trying to be executed, the solution to this is to build glslang yourself. Apply the patch in .patch/glslang/0001-haikuos-fix.patch. The main issue is ShFinalize() is deallocating already destroyed memory; the "fix" in question is allowing the program to just leak memory and the OS will take care of the rest. See this issue.

For this reason this patch is NOT applied to default on all platforms (for obvious reasons) - instead this is a HaikuOS specific patch, apply with git apply <absolute path to patch> after cloning SPIRV-Tools then make -C build and add the resulting binary (in build/StandAlone/glslang) into PATH.

cubeb_devel will also not work, either disable cubeb or uninstall it.

Still will not run flawlessly until mesa-24 is available. Modify CMakeCache.txt with the .so of libGL and libGLESv2 by doing the incredibly difficult task of copy pasting them (cp /boot/system/lib/libGL.so .)

OpenBSD

After configuration, you may need to modify externals/ffmpeg/CMakeFiles/ffmpeg-build/build.make to use -j$(nproc) instead of just -j.

-lc++-experimental doesn't exist in OpenBSD but the LLVM driver still tries to link against it, to solve just symlink ln -s /usr/lib/libc++.a /usr/lib/libc++experimental.a.

If clang has errors, try using g++-11.

FreeBSD

Eden is not currently available as a port on FreeBSD, though it is in the works. For now, the recommended method of usage is to compile it yourself.

The available OpenSSL port (3.0.17) is out-of-date, and using a bundled static library instead is recommended; to do so, add -DYUZU_USE_BUNDLED_OPENSSL=ON to your CMake configure command.

NetBSD

Install pkgin if not already pkg_add pkgin, see also the general pkgsrc guide. For NetBSD 10.1 provide echo 'PKG_PATH="https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/x86_64/10.0_2025Q3/All/"' >/etc/pkg_install.conf. If pkgin is taking too much time consider adding the following to /etc/rc.conf:

ip6addrctl=YES
ip6addrctl_policy=ipv4_prefer

System provides a default g++-10 which doesn't support the current C++ codebase; install clang-19 with pkgin install clang-19. Then build with cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -B build.

Make may error out when generating C++ headers of SPIRV shaders, hence it's recommended to use gmake over the default system one.

glslang is not available on NetBSD, to circumvent this simply build glslang by yourself:

pkgin python313
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glslang.git
cd glslang
python3.13 ./update_glslang_sources.py
cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build -- -j`nproc`
cmake --install build

MSYS2

qt6-static isn't supported yet.

Only the MINGW64 environment is tested; however, all of the others should work (in theory) sans MINGW32.

Currently, only FFmpeg can be used as a system dependency; the others will result in linker errors.

When packaging an MSYS2 build, you will need to copy all dependent DLLs recursively alongside the windeployqt6; for example:

# MSYS_TOOLCHAIN is typically just mingw64
# since Windows is case-insensitive, you can set this to $MSYSTEM
# or, if cross-compiling from Linux, set it to usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32
export PATH="/${MSYS_TOOLCHAIN}/bin:$PATH"

# grab deps of a dll or exe and place them in the current dir
deps() {
    # string parsing is fun
    objdump -p "$1" | awk '/DLL Name:/ {print $3}' | while read -r dll; do
        [ -z "$dll" ] && continue

        # bin directory is used for DLLs, so we can do a quick "hack"
        # and use command to find the path of the DLL
        dllpath=$(command -v "$dll" 2>/dev/null || true)

        [ -z "$dllpath" ] && continue

        # explicitly exclude system32/syswow64 deps
        # these aren't needed to be bundled, as all systems already have them
        case "$dllpath" in
            *System32* | *SysWOW64*) continue ;;
        esac

        # avoid copying deps multiple times
        if [ ! -f "$dll" ]; then
            echo "$dllpath"
            cp "$dllpath" "$dll"

            # also grab the dependencies of the dependent DLL; e.g.
            # double-conversion is a dep of Qt6Core.dll but NOT eden.exe
            deps "$dllpath"
        fi
    done
}

# NB: must be done in a directory containing eden.exe
deps eden.exe

# deploy Qt plugins and such
windeployqt6 --no-compiler-runtime --no-opengl-sw --no-system-dxc-compiler \
    --no-system-d3d-compiler eden.exe

# grab deps for Qt plugins
find ./*/ -name "*.dll" | while read -r dll; do deps "$dll"; done

Windows 8.1 and below

DirectX 12 is not available - simply copy and paste a random DLL and name it d3d12.dll.

Install Qt6 compatibility libraries specifically Qt 6.9.5.
