Hacking Help compiling a .dol using makefile

[SpaceJump]

I want to add a Wii reboot function to the MPlayerWii app so I looked up how to code it (I'm a medium Java developer...). So I wrote a little test app using devkitpro and the test app works, so that I can choose if I want to go to the HBC or to the Wii menu. I compiled the .dol file with the editor of devkitpro using the "make" option. No problem here.
Now I think I added the necessary code to the MPlayerWii source, but this app has to be compiled using a Makefile. I downloaded make.exe but I cannot get it to build the .dol file.

Can anyone tell me how to do it or link me to a good point of information?

makefile should be found here: http://code.google.com/p/mplayerwii/source/browse/#svn/trunk

edit: and maybe you should consider bringing your patch into the actual svn.

edit2: just came to my mind. you should although use the latest version of devkitpro (has to be compiled by your self) to add sdhc support.

You misunderstood me. I already checked the project out with TortoiseSVN (spelling?) using the URL "http://mplayerwii.googlecode.com/svn/trunk" for the checkout. So I have the Makefile. I now want to know how to compile the build using this Makefile to test if my code works.

considering DevkitPPC is well installed (ie environment variable properly set),:

1/open a command window
2/go into the directory where the Makefile is
3/type make
4/wait until compilation is done... tadaaa

if you got errors message, then copy them here, just telling "I downloaded make.exe but I cannot get it to build the .dol file" doesn't help
btw, you don't need to download make.exe (from where ?), it's already in devkitppc

Ok, when typing make in the project directory I get the error message, that the file "wii_rules" cannot be found. What environment variable do I have to set?

 

[Jacobeian]

Use devkitpro AutoInstaller and install devkitPPC, it will set everything for you

I already used the devkitpro auto updater (I asume you mean this) and I think it installed correctly (unsure)...

1) open up programmers notepad *included in devkitpro*
2) open the makefile with programmers notepad.
3) go to tools>make (or press alt+1)
4) wait.
5) enjoy.

I want to add a Wii reboot function to the MPlayerWii

I wanted to do that with DMP but he hasn't included the full source and it would take ages getting all the binaries

i contacted him and no reply.

I wouldn't mind that if you mange to edit the return to loader with restart wii

obviously you'll know the command from developers tips on wiibrew

This gives me the same error message as when typing make in cmd:

CODE> "make"
Makefile:10: /c/devkitPro/devkitPPC/wii_rules: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/c/devkitPro/devkitPPC/wii_rules'.ÂÂStop.

> Process Exit Code: 2

EDIT: I checked the directory c:/devkitPro/devkitPPC and there's is a file called wii_rules in it.

Any ideas?

edit: missread your problem.

 

[hartleyshc]

sounds like you've changed the makefile.

mind posting yours?

No, I didn't change the Makefile that came with the checkout. Here is its contents:

hmm if you haven't change the makefile, im at a bit of a loss.
it seems its getting the wrong info on the drive location of wii_rules.
even though it says /c/devkitPro, the output should still be c:\ even if you have to type it c:/

since ive spent a good part of the evening trying to do what your doing *set mplayer to reset instead of boot to launcher.*
mind posting your source?

After changing the environment variables (it seems the installer set them wrong without a ":"), I'm now getting this error when compiling with Makefile:

> "make" 
make[1]: /Makefile: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/Makefile'.ÂÂStop.
make: *** [build] Error 2
