Most of the information below is currently out of date. PCSX2 currently only compiles on 64 bits, not 32 bits, and the libraries are likely out of date as well. This will be updated, but for the moment, if you want to compile it, you can do so like this: | |||

And run bin/pcsx2-qt . | |||

| ninja-multi || Generates ninja build files for debug/devel/and release builds for gcc. | |||
|- | |||
| gcc-debug || For making a debug build with gcc and make. | |||
|- | |||
| gcc-devel || For making a development build with gcc and make. | |||
|- | |||
| gcc-release || For making a release build with gcc and make. Does not have LTO. | |||
|- | |||
| gcc-debug-ninja || For making a debug build with gcc and ninja. (ninja builds faster then make.) | |||
|- | |||
| gcc-devel-ninja || For making a development build with gcc and ninja.(ninja builds faster then make.) | |||

|- | |||
| clang-devel || For making a development build with clang and ninja. (Fastest builds.) | |||
|- | |||
| clang-release || For making a release build with clang and ninja. (This one has lto, so has the slowest build time.) | |||
