Help compiling!

Post by niuus » Sun Nov 06, 2016 2:06 am

Hi! I am a newbie at everything programming-related, but i have compiled some emulators in the past (Gamecube era), and did not had too much of a trouble following some guides about it. Right now i want to have a shot at this again, to not depend in other users builds.

I used DevkitPro Updater 1.6.0, installed to c:\devkitPPC. Opened C:\devkitPro\msys\etc\fstab and added this line:
c:/devkitPro/devkitPPC /ppc
After that, i opened C:\devkitPro\msys\etc\profile in Programmer's Notepad and added these 2 lines:
\033[32m\]\u@\h \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\]
$ '

alias clear=clsb
export PATH=$PATH:/ppc/bin
export DEVKITPPC=/ppc


cd "$HOME"
Extracted libogc source at C:\devkitPro\devkitPPC\libogc, then ran:
cd /ppc
cd libogc
make
make install
Went ahead with SnesGX. Right now i'm stuck at this error when trying to compile:

Any help to overcome this?

I am using Windows 7 x64.

Thanks for your answer, emu_kidid. I am a fan of your work and thoroughly tested and reported about SD Boot, way back on the TehSkeen days (i miss that website!).

So, should i download and extract all those libraries at the devkitPPC folder? (excuse the noobness)

Thanks, those were good times :)

You need to extract them and place them in: \devkitPro\portlibs\ppc

Okey, i think i am progressing. I also added fat.h and libfatversion.h, which i downloaded from the web. Same for wupc.h.

Got this far with Snes9x GX:

Got this far with WiiSXR:

@Mystro256, could you give me a hand here? =) Or anyone?

The signature to ifconfig changed, you'll need to fix it in WiiSXR or update libOGC.

A new parameter was added to the if_config method in libOGC and WiiSXR is trying to use the method without supplying it. To fix it, in fileBrowser-SMB.c line 98, change it to have an extra parameter, e.g: if_config(ip, NULL, NULL, true, 10);

I am really thankful, emu_kidid. Might be silly, but it's kinda cool to run your own compiled build, after all these years. I was successful with WiiSXR, ran some games, everything cool.

I am stuck with Snes9X GX, with the error mentioned in the previous post/screenshot. I tried checking cpu.cpp and cpuexec.cpp for the remote possibility of me changing something and fixing it, but to no avail. Don't know what i am exactly looking for.

The snes9x issue looks like it's a broken makefile. I'll take a look tonight if I don't forget.
