Hacking Changing Classic Control Configurations on Nintendont/GX Loader

[mive]

either use linux or maybe try with msys2 (you need to have zip package installed, so if you type zip in a shell it should show a help/usage message. if it shows command not found you dont have zip installed)

but as stated in the build.sh and .bat files themselves, they are only there for compatibility reasons and not needed anyway

 

[godreborn]

I have msys2 installed already. it error'd the first time saying that wii rules wasn't in the right folder. I'm going to try again in a moment.

 

[godreborn]

nope, still did the same thing with msys:

 

[mive]

zip is probably not installed, like said above if you type zip in shell it should show a help message

 

[godreborn]

it worked! I installed zip and unzip with pacman -S zip/unzip:

 

[godreborn]

tried to compile it in msys, and I get this error with that:

 

[mive]

do you use make or make windows=1? because you need to use only make.
also try make clean and make afterwards.
I also dont understand why you use sh from cmd, but if this is working, you should also be able to start sh shell and compile with make.
again if you look at the build scripts, only thing they do is running make forced/make forced windows=1 (which is make cleann && make)

in general it would be better to just copy/paste terminal output in

code tags

instead of posting screenshots, as it is much easier to read this way, its also easier this way to show more info

 

[godreborn]

I know. I've got all three build methods to work (make, build.bat, and build.sh in command prompt), but I was curious why msys is throwing up an error. it's like it can't detect the command. I had to put devkitpro into the opt folder, because it couldn't detect the commands to make the files, originally throwing up an error in the beginning.

Edit: btw, windows=1 is no longer needed with zip and unzip installed and the make command.

 

[mive]

you need it in /opt because the environment variables (usually) point to this path

$ printenv | grep DEVKIT
DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitpro
DEVKITARM=/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM
DEVKITPPC=/opt/devkitpro/devkitPPC

and in a Makefile for wii/gc/wiiu stuff you usually have something like this:
e.g.
include $(DEVKITPPC)/wii_rules

e.g. wii_rules:

$ cat /opt/devkitpro/devkitPPC/wii_rules
ifeq ($(strip $(DEVKITPPC)),)
$(error "Please set DEVKITPPC in your environment. export DEVKITPPC=<path to>devkitPro/devkitPPC)
endif

include $(DEVKITPPC)/base_rules

PORTLIBS        :=      $(PORTLIBS_PATH)/wii $(PORTLIBS_PATH)/ppc

export PATH     :=      $(PORTLIBS_PATH)/wii/bin:$(PORTLIBS_PATH)/ppc/bin:$(PATH)

export  LIBOGC_INC      :=      $(DEVKITPRO)/libogc/include
export  LIBOGC_LIB      :=      $(DEVKITPRO)/libogc/lib/wii

MACHDEP =  -DGEKKO -mrvl -mcpu=750 -meabi -mhard-float
...

but as you should use a package manager (e.g. pacman) to install/deinstall devktipro stuff instead of messing manually around there, it shouldn't matter anyway. Also /opt is perfectly fine for this and always remember its not windows where you have drive letters like c:, d:. its not working that way in linux

 

[godreborn]

I think it's finding the wii rules, because it error'd the first time about them. that's when I put devkitpro in the opt folder. however, I'm not sure what it means by missing rule for kernel.elf.o or whatever. it's like something isn't installed, I guess. windows doesn't have this problem, just linux. I saw one of your other posts where you used the make clean command, because you also had this problem with a nintendont fork iirc, but I tried that, and it didn't make a difference.

[godreborn]

how do I install those? pacman?

 

[mive]

yup, either specify package names:
pacman -S devkitarm-rules devkitppc-rules devkitpro-pkgbuild-helpers ... ...

or group names:
pacman -S wii-dev wii-portlibs ppc-portlibs gamecube-dev ... ...

 

[godreborn]

I was able to install them in command prompt, the group names, but in msys64, it says this:

$ pacman -S wii-dev wii-portlibs ppc-portlibs gamecube-dev
error: target not found: wii-dev
error: target not found: wii-portlibs
error: target not found: ppc-portlibs
error: target not found: gamecube-dev

btw, make works in msys64, not sure what's going on.

 

[godreborn]

nm, I added the linux, windows, and dkp library searches to the package.conf. it's installing now:

 

[godreborn]

we have success. thanks for the help, @mive .

 

[godreborn]

@mive ,can I install boost/endian with pacman?

 

[mive]

yes, of course.

https://www.msys2.org/docs/package-management/

 

[godreborn]

I found this: https://packages.msys2.org/package/mingw-w64-i686-boost

it contains the right file, but I still get an error after installing it and its build dependencies:

make
make -C wfslib

maybe you need 64-bit version, especially as you mentioned msys64 (which doesnt exist so you probably meant msys2 64bit)
