devkitPro

Posted: **Tue Aug 16, 2022 3:10 am**

Hey all! I'm new to developing using devkitPro. I'm trying to use CMake when building the triangle example found on GitHub. When using the Makefile which comes with the example, everything compiles normally. When trying to use CMake in the same environment with this script:

Code: Select all

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.20)
include("$ENV{DEVKITPRO}/cmake/Wii.cmake")
project (WiiTest VERSION 1.0)
add_executable(WiiTest triangle.c)

I get the following error:

Code: Select all

$ cmake -S . -B build
-- The C compiler identification is GNU 12.1.0
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 12.1.0

  It fails with the following output:

My folder structure is the following:

wii-cmake

 | -> triangle.c

I'm sure that I'm making a simple mistake here, but I haven't been able to figure it out after hours of troubleshooting. I've been searching the internet as well as the devkitPro files on my hard drive for clues. Any help on this issue I'm having would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

CMake toolchain files can't be used with include(), instead they should be passed from the command line as a special argument. We offer a wrapper script around cmake that automatically does this: /opt/devkitpro/portlibs/wii/bin/powerpc-eabi-cmake.

After removing the extraneous include line, and adding the command to convert the raw elf file into a dol executable that can actually be loaded by the console, here's what the minimal CMakeLists.txt file looks like: (I also moved the source code file back into the source folder)

Code: Select all

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.13)
project (WiiTest VERSION 1.0)

add_executable(WiiTest source/triangle.c)
ogc_create_dol(WiiTest)

Hey fincs, thank you so much for the reply! This makes sense, however I'm unsure of how to pass the script as an argument like you say. Would I just run something like this?:

Code: Select all

cmake /opt/devkitpro/portlibs/wii/bin/powerpc-eabi-cmake -S . -B build

Thank you!

You just need to execute it directly, like this, within the msys2 shell:

Code: Select all

/opt/devkitpro/portlibs/wii/bin/powerpc-eabi-cmake -S . -B build

Ah! I understand now. Thank you for the help!
