wiimc compiling
Posted: Wed Jul 21, 2010 10:32 am
Hello people.
I'm quit new with devkit and have problems with compiling with wiimc sourcecode.
in the first attemp i got stuck in mysys.
MOD Note: This is spectacularly wrong, don't do it
first tip was to get ar.exe from http://sourceforge.net/downloads/mingw/ ... .tar.lzma/ and copy it in DevKitPro/msys /bin
That did not help, so i uninstalled/installed devkit pro many times, even downloaded everything manually, and install from files.
Because since the first reïnstall i didn't even get past the first step of compiling.
the result was everytime the same:
I don't understand why it says no after the checking things, all those files are present in powerpc-eabi\bin.
I asked jhb50 about it, and we compared all the devkit install files, they are exactly the same, and we have the same .net framework.
Still there is a difference between his and mine installation.
His:
c:\DevkitPro\devkitPPC\powerpc-eabi\ar.exe
c:\DevkitPro\devkitPPC\mn10200\ar.exe
C:\devkitPro\devkitPPC\powerpc-eabi-ar.exe
C:\devkitPro\devkitPPC\mn10200-ar.exe
Mine:
c:\DevkitPro\devkitPPC\powerpc-eabi\bin\ar.exe
c:\DevkitPro\devkitPPC\mn10200\bin\ar.exe
C:\devkitPro\devkitPPC\bin\powerpc-eabi-ar.exe
C:\devkitPro\devkitPPC\bin\mn10200-ar.exe
Copying those files to the same directories does not fix it.
How is this possible and how to get it to work?
Seems there are 2 problems.
1. source of wiimc is incorrect (liba52.la)
(i used vsn checkout multiple times from scratch)
2. devkit is not installing a correct c compiler where it should.
So which and where to place a working one?
