Linux - Install Wii-Port SDL

After some hours of research i found the way to compile Wii applications on Linux with SDL libraries.

I will explain you how to install devkitPro - devkitPPC - portlibs and libogc.


First of all in this site you will find almost all the files you will need: Sourceforge - DevkitPro




But what are you going to download ?
From The devkitPPC folder download: 

devkitPPC_r21-i686-linux.tar.bz2 (32bit)

OR

devkitPPC_r21-x86_64-linux.tar.bz2(64bit)


From The libogc folder download: 

libogc-1.8.3.tar.bz2


From The libfat folder download:  

libfat-ogc-1.0.7.tar.bz2


From portlibs folder download:
freetype-2.3.11-ppc.tar.bz2

tremor-lowmem-ppc.tar.bz2
expat-2.0.1-ppc.tar.bz2

jpeg8a-ppc.tar.bz2

libpng-1.4.1-ppc.tar.bz2
mxml-2.6-ppc.tar.bz2
zlib-1.2.4-ppc.tar.bz2



From examples/wii folder download:
wii-examples-20091124.tar.bz2


And The Last

	SDL Wii 11-28-2009.zip

 

## Warning ## 

Above I provide links which over the days libraries versions may change. If you want up to date libraries download them from Sourceforge - DevkitPro And SDL-Wii . ( The Package Name Will Be The Same Only Version Number Will Chage )


Create a folder named "devkitPRO". ( Create it wherever you want it, it will be temp)

Inside "devkitPRO" create these folders - "devkitPPC" - "portlibs" - "examples"

Extract All Downloaded Files and copy ""What's inside them" as you see bellow:

Files            --         Folder

--------------------------------------------

devkitppc --> devkitPPC/ppc 

libogc --> libogc

SDLWii --> libogc

All portlibs & libfat --> portlibs

examples --> examples/wii

(If asks for replacing any file choose yes)

Now open the terminal and write this:

sudo cp -R (where-is-your-devkitpro-dir) /usr/local/

After that give read-write permitions.

sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/local/devkitPRO

Ok enough with copy-paste.
Write to terminal.

export DEVKITPRO=/usr/local/devkitPRO
export DEVKITPPC=${DEVKITPRO}/devkitPPC/ppc
export PORTLIBS=${DEVKITPRO}/portlibs



 You have to enter these commands every time you open your pc. If don't want
 to enter them every time you can add these lines to ~/.bashrc file.



Pfff last lines....

Download Sample Makefile: MakeFile

Create a folder and create another folder inside named "source".There will be placed all  your source files and headers. Outside the source folder place the makefile. You are ready !!! To compile and create your .elf or .dol file get in that folder from the terminal and type make !
