Since desmume source code comes with the necessary directx files, installation of the directx sdk is unnecessary. Also, all the other dependencies are included in the source code download.

Dev-C++ is not supported!

Install desmume from source tarball

For a Windows build, you first have to download and install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Editon. Next, you need to unzip/extract the zip file. Then, in desmume/src/windows, open Desmume2008.vcproj.

Then visual studio should open up. Go to build > configuration manager and change it to Interim SSE2 (if you have an older computer just try interim). Back in the main window, press f7 to compile. After the compile completes, the executable should be located in windows\__bins\DeSmuME_VS2008_sse2.exe or somesuch.


Install desmume from svn

For a Windows build, you first have to download and install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Editon and TortoiseSVN. But first, a warning: don't try this unless you know what you are doing, because odds are you will run into trouble or make a non-functioning build that will run slow.

But for those of you that are gluttons for punishment: Next, make a folder that you want the desmume src to be in. Then right-click it and do svn checkout. Fill in: https://desmume.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/desmume. Then hit ok, and it should download the current src.

Then, in desmume/src/windows, open Desmume2008.vcproj. Then visual studio should open up. Go to build > configuration manager and change it to Interim SSE2 (if you have a ghetto computer just try interim). Back in the main window, press f7 to compile. After the compile completes, the executable should be located in windows\__bins\DeSmuME_VS2008_sse2.exe or somesuch.
