### Linux

To compile Mesen-S under Linux you will need a recent version of clang/gcc. This is because Mesen-S requires a C++14 compiler, along with support for the filesystem API (C++17). Additionally, Mesen-S has the following dependencies:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Mono 5.18+ (package: mono-devel)
|
||
|
|
* SDL2 (package: libsdl2-dev)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Note:** **Mono 5.18 or higher is recommended**, some older versions of Mono (e.g 4.2.2) have some stability and performance issues which can cause crashes and slow down the UI.
|
||
|
|
The default Mono version in Ubuntu 18.04 is 4.6.2 (which also causes some layout issues in Mesen-S). To install the latest version of Mono, follow the instructions here: https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/#download-lin

The makefile contains some more information at the top. Running "make" will build the x64 version by default, and then "make run" should start the emulator.
|
||
|
|
LTO is supported under clang, which gives a large performance boost (25-30%+), so turning it on is highly recommended (see makefile for details):
|
||
|
|

|
|
Examples:
|
||
|
|
`LTO=true make` will compile with clang and LTO.
|
||
|
|
`USE_GCC=true LTO=true make` will compile with gcc and LTO.
