I have downloaded fceux 2.2.3 src from here, but I can't figure out what's needed to compile it (consider I'm a total newbie).
It seems to have visual studio 2010 v100 compatible project files, but I don't have vs 2010 and microsoft says it is not for me. I have vs 2017 but refactoring the solution expectedly generate hundreds of errors. Is there a simpler way than using visual studio?

What I want to do: change a few things on the debugger window, for personal use. Exactly how I want to change it:

Code:
To compile and install FCEUX for SDL, follow the instructions in the README-SDL.md file.

Users of Microsoft Visual Studio can use the solution files within the vc directory.
These solution files will compile FCEUX and some included libraries for full functionality.

CMake has been depreciated in favor of scons.  However, if you wish to use it you can find the old cmake build files in the ~attic.

From the file README-SDL:
Code:
1 - Requirements
----------------
* libsdl1.2 - It is strongly recommended that you upgrade to the latest
   version of sdl (1.2.15 at the time of writing).
* scons - Required to build fceux.
* libgtk2.0 (optional) - version >= 2.24 recommended
* libgtk3.0 (optional) - this compiles as of fceux 2.2.0
* liblua5.1 (optional)
* libgd (optional) - required for LOGO and CREATE_AVI options (https://bitbucket.org/libgd/gd-libgd/downloads)
* minizip (optional) - you may chose to use the version of minizip on your system by enabling SYSTEM_MINIZIP in the SConstruct
* c++ compiler -- you may use g++ from gcc or clang++ from llvm.

This is to compile the SDL version, which has no debugger whatsoever (unless you count debugging the emulator itself in GDB as an indirect means of debugging the ROM).

That's no good then, my goal is rom hacking and rom mapping. What's my alternative for adjusting fceux's debugger UI?
edit: I've found and am installing a Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2010, not sure if that will do.
edit2: Success!! With that it compiled perfectly! Now to do the changes. To anyone wondering, I got it from here https://download.cnet.com/Microsoft-Vis ... 50998.html
edit3: okay that was quick ^^ https://twitter.com/bitinkstudios/statu ... 5763596288

The current github version compiles "right out of the box" for me with VS2017 community, just open the .sln and build.
https://github.com/TASVideos/fceux

I used to use VS2010 express just fine with it in the past, similarly without having to install anything extra, though I was normally getting code from its (now defunct) Sourceforge SVN.

Never tried the source files hosted on the website itself though.

That's interesting. I openend the solution but to compile it is asking me to install Windows SDK 8.1. I'm installing that now.
Anyway, I got a lot done already, the UI now is waaaaay more suited for my romhacking needs, not to mention that I automated a few things. What I need the most right now is some way to rearrange the bookmarks. I'm still very lost in the C++ language to get that done.

Oh yeah 2017 community has a lot of install options, maybe I normally pick the set that comes with that SDK already. Thankfully it does a good job of letting you know about those and downloading the needed things, at least within the realm of microsoft-provided libraries anyway.

FCEUX took me a while to find my way around. It's very old, lots of crust, lots of weird stuff stuck together from various old forks, etc.
