devkit PPC has its own compilers... gcc, g++. you can use any IDE you want, but you must use PPC (cross)compilers.

 

For starters, look at the wiibrew page for linux setup. At the bottom of the page, there are some alternate installation systems (which are useful as the current build scripts seem pretty borked on Ubuntu 10.10). I found this script as the only reliable one I've found.

The only issue is that it doesn't setup the environment variables correctly - open the .bashrc file in your home directory, and add theses lines to the bottom:-

Code:

EXPORT DEVKITPRO=/home/your-user-name/devkitPro
EXPORT DEVKITPPC=$DEVKITPRO/devkitPPC

Now the make files should all work correctly.


PM me if you have any issues. I'm new to Wii development, but not to linux.
