Update: i put the missing "powerpc-eabi-gcc" and now is doing this:
View attachment 343466
I searched on google and it says it this error is given when i have a compiler that does not match the original compiler version and i need to edit the "project properties"
What should i do?

Now it gives me this error:
"powerpc-eabi-gcc.exe: error: unrecognized command line option '-mrvl'"
I really am at a loss, everything changes if i do nothing

Im using the latest version from the devkitPro wiki, should i use an older one?

WAD Manager is a very old tool, and no one has the intention of fixing through all the code for support newest devkitPPC/libOGC versions, so you MUST use older versions to compile it.

Maybe try using devkitPPC r23-r26 and libOGC 1.8.15-1 or older?

Hello there, i downloaded devkitPPC r24 nd libOGC 1.8.15-1, i tried to build it with theese but im stuck in this right now:
1671551765679.png

I tried debugging with "make -d" and it says that it searches for libraries in "\devkitPPC/libogc/lib/wii", at least i think, even when i put libogc there it still doesn't work. Here is the "make -d" log: https://controlc.com/53de9567
Its really long but the part where it gives me this error is at the end of the log. Added it if there is something else that stops it too. Thanks for the help so far

- Download devkitPPC r19 : http://wii.leseratte10.de/devkitPro/devkitPPC/r19 (2009)/
- Download the libs from WiiXplorer : https://master.dl.sourceforge.net/project/wiixplorer/libogc-devkitR19_18-02-2010.zip?viasf=1

Well, hello there, thanks for the modified Makefile and for the download links, i downloaded the older devkitPro and put the libraries in it, modified my environment variables to point to the old devkitPro, when i try to make with this modified Makefile it says this:
(with make)
Makefile:100: *** missing separator. Stop.
(with mingw32-make)
Makefile:10: C:\Users\michywii\Downloads\forse\devkitPPC/wii_rules: No such file or directory
Makefile:100: *** missing separator. Stop.

What should i do?

I think there is something wrong with my like libexec's since it pulls out the "powerpc-eabi-gcc" from the most recente devkitPpc. What should i do?

Update: my "powerpc-eabi-gcc" is from a PowerPC library i downloaded some time ago, the first result if you search for "powerpc-eabi-gcc", locted in C:\SysGCC\powerpc-eabi\bin

Be sure to replace your DevkitPPC, libogc and portlibs folders. Well, rename them first if you want a copy.
I don't know windows default install path, I rarely use this os.

Try with something simpler first to check you've installed it correctly. Compile the corresponding Wii example template : http://wii.leseratte10.de/devkitPro/wii-examples/
It should be one of the 2009 archives.

The default devkitPpc install directory is "C:\devkitPro\" in Windows. (for the latest version)
What should i replace them with?

You should have these folders inside C:\devkitPro :
devkitPPC
libogc
portlibs

The easier temporary solution is to rename devkitPro to devkitPro_original for example.

Then create a brand new devkitPro folder. Grab the old versions from this post :
https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-can-i-build-wad-manager.623439/post-10029674
Take the Windows archive:
devkitPPC_r19-win32.exe

Extract those archives in your new C:\devkitPro

Okok, i have just done this, since i built everything off a Windows VM (im on Linux) i decided to reinstall Windows on it because the VM was messy full of stuff and i have like 10 different versions of devkitPro so i formatted and reinstalled Windows and now im here.
I installed mingw but when i try to build the examplewith "mingw32-make" it just hangs, even with "-d". What should i do?

Other update, console says ""Please set DEVKITPPC in your environment. export DEVKITPPC=<path to>devkitPPC". Stop." even when i put devkitPpc in my environment.

Wait what? You're on Linux? Then why don't you try to compile in Linux? You seem to over complicate things. I can't really help with windows.
Just install with pacman and then replace the folders in /opt/devkitpro

I tried building on Linux but i found it harder, i will try on linux right now.
