PCSX2 is an extremely complex project with many, many source code files, so much of the process of building and compiling the project is automated.

build.sh

This is where the fun begins. Running this shell script will begin the long build process for PCSX2. First, the script checks for arguments in the command line, setting the build and log directories. Then, the script runs CMake.


CMake

PCSX2 is a cross platform application, so there are some individuals who prefer using Windows development tools (Visual Studio) and some who prefer using Linux development tools (GNU Compiler Collection, etc). It can become a headache trying to sync project files from all these different tools, so there is a program called CMake which can actually generate project files for all these different platforms.

The build process is controlled by This file here.
