Emulator Help compiling latest commits of Wii64?

[godreborn]

@SaulFabre I feel your frustration. Compiling is the biggest pita with limited or no/missing instructions.

 

[godreborn]

@SaulFabre , I think I may know the source of your problem. you didn't set the bin folder to environmental variables:
export PATH=/opt/devkitpro/devkitPPC/bin:$PATH

I couldn't get it to compile though. it went on for a while, but then it got stuck at fat.h. libfat doesn't seem to work correctly, so the project may be too old.

thanks @godreborn, but i already i think i got it.
I just used the build.bat script provided with the source code and it compiled it for me.
Only thing i saw that didn't compile was the WiiVC versions (but that doesn't matter to me)

that still doesn't work for me. it can't find gctypes or gccore, not sure why.

don't know what is your problem...

but today i was fixing some code for autobooting games on Wii64 and when i got to compiling, i finally got compiling both original Wii and WiiVC versions of Wii64.

I think I got all errors corrected except wiidrc/wiidrc.h. there's no make install with it, so I don't know where the files go for that.

Download the prebuilt library: http://github.com/FIX94/libwiidrc/releases

Extract its content in C:/devkitPro/portlibs/wii/ and C:/devkitPro/portlibs/ppc/

extract library or the contents of library?

 

[SaulFabre]

extract library or the contents of library?

extract the content (all the folders of the library) in the folders i mentioned.

same thing happened to me, but i got the elf files luckily.

Just take the elf files you got from compiling, then convert them to dol with elf2dol.
(Copy the elfs to C:/devkitPro/tools/bin, then open CMD in that directory, and launch the following command for each elf you want to make a dol:
elf2dol.exe [your_elf].elf [new_dol].dol
Example: elf2dol.exe wii64-glN64.elf wii64-glN64.dol
That's all! )

 

[godreborn]

I got no elf files.

 

[SaulFabre]

I got no elf files.

????
i got them.
When finished compiling, these are located in the principal folder of your Wii64 sourcecode (in my case was D:/Wii64-code/)

 

[godreborn]

did you git clone or did you get the source code from "release"?

 

[SaulFabre]

did you git clone or did you get the source code from "release"?

i git cloned it
I went to official Wii64 code (http://github.com/emukidid/Wii64), downloaded the code with the button "Download Code", then in "Download ZIP" and i got the code.

 

[godreborn]

I got this error with linux: powerpc-eabi/bin/ld: cannot find -lfat
collect2

no idea what to do now.

maybe you need to take a look at this entire thread?: https://www.gc-forever.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=5146&p=50358#p50358

I give up. I've tried everything. the only thing that makes sense is that the ppc version I'm using is too new.

Compiled on linux few months ago, I've added this at the beginning of Makefile.base :

include $(DEVKITPPC)/wii_rules

It also might depend how you installed the libs with the pacman utility. Not too fond of this change in devkitpro but once used to it, it's not so bad.
