Folder: /3rdparty
This folder contains libraries written and (un?)maintained by people or parties
outside the Pcsx2 DevTeam. Libraries or code snippets written by the PCSX2 team
are housed in /common instead.
Cross-Compilation:
Most libraries includes in /3rdparty come as either default installations in Linux
distributions, or are easily obtainable. Using the PCSX2 versions included here is
optional in such cases, however using the distro-provided packages is not recommended.
(using PCSX2 included versions may help resolve versioning issues).
Note that wxWidgets includes *only* MSW projects and files. Linux and Mac platforms
are assumed to have wx already available in your distributions.
Modifications:
Most of these libs in /3rdparty have been tailored slightly from the original
forms downloaded from the net. So if you want to upgrade to a new version you
will need to do a proper diff merge. Likewise, if you modify anything in a
3rdparty library you should be sure to tag the modification with your sig or
a "pcsx2" or something. Thirdly, you can use Svn Log to check for modifications,
however folder renames or svn homesite changes may not have all relevant history
necessary to make an accurate merge.
