actually I'm thinking moving to Manjaro kde from windows 10 😛

It is in AUR as pcsxr-pgxp-git then, you can build it from there

Hi. I am a Linux -I use Lubuntu 20.4.1- newbie and I couldn't install it. I cloned the source and ran CMake QT but it failed with the CMakeError.log saying

Performing C SOURCE FILE Test NO_PIE_PATCHED failed with the following output:
Change Dir: /home/danny/Desktop/PCSXR/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp

Run Build Command(s):/usr/bin/make cmTC_2f430/fast && /usr/bin/make -f CMakeFiles/cmTC_2f430.dir/build.make CMakeFiles/cmTC_2f430.dir/build

Source file was:
int main(void) { return 0; }

I randomly decided to open CMakeLists.txt at the base of the cloned git repository -not going to lie, I have no experience on compiling or anything- and change a -nopie to -no-pie.

This time it again gave me an error but without a errorfile but instead told me to check the CMakeOutput.log

So, what do I do?

So, what do I do?

User space installation (without root or sudo):

git clone https://github.com/iCatButler/pcsxr.git
cd pcsxr
mkdir build
cd build
mkdir $HOME/pcsxr-pgxp
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/pcsxr-pgxp ..
make

To search for dependencies in case of unsuccessful builds (example with libpng):

apt-cache search libpng | grep 'dev'
sudo apt-get install libpng16-dev

In case of build success:

make install

Edit your "$HOME/.bashrc" file, and add to the end "PATH=$HOME/pcsxr-pgxp/bin:$PATH"
To launch use "LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 pcsxr" from terminal or create a launcher...

Other much better alternatives:
DuckStation
RetroArch with Beetle PSX / Beetle PSX HW
PCSX-Redux
Avocado
XEBRA on Wine
