    I have installed DevKitPro, installed the PortedLibs, and SVNd the source files to my harddrive.

    I successfully ran make for: libntfs

    It looks like I am missing a makefile for: fribidi

    And I get errors for: libiconv, opencore-amr, and openjpeg

    Can someone please post the steps required to build under windows? Please don’t point to http://www.wiimc.org/compiling-instructions/ as an answer.

    Thank you.

    Some of the libs compile fine just under linux… at least i didn’t succeed to compile them under windows so i’ve compiled them in ubuntu/vmware. Some of the libs require scripts to configure, some libs aren’t included in the wiimc folder and you’ll have to download them (libmxml, libpng14 etc).
    Anyway, here are all the portlibs (compiled) needed: http://www.mediafire.com/?mitdymnienj . Just extract the portlibs folder in devkitpro folder, go to wiimc folder and just run the make command.
    On my system i’ve got some errors saying that it can’t find some libs that were in the portlibs folder (probably missing path in makefile) and i’ve copied the libs in devkitProdevkitPPClibgccpowerpc-eabi4.4.3 folder.

    Those instructions all sound horribly wrong. Please ignore them.

    In Windows, load MSys (installed with DevkitPro). For each of the libs:

    ./configure –host=powerpc-eabi –prefix=”${DEVKITPRO}/portlibs/ppc” –libdir=”${DEVKITPRO}/portlibs/ppc/lib”
    make
    make install

    This will build and install them into the portlibs folder for you. Other libs like mxml and libpng should be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/devkitpro/files/portlibs/.

    For more verbose instructions see here: http://wiki.devkitpro.org/index.php/portlibs

    All libs display the following with that command

    H:TestWiiMClibsopencore-amr>./configure –host=powerpc-eabi –prefix=”${DEVK
    ITPRO}/portlibs/ppc” –libdir=”${DEVKITPRO}/portlibs/ppc/lib”
    ‘.’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.

    fribidi

    H:TestWiiMClibsfribidi>./configure –host=powerpc-eabi –prefix=”${DEVKITPRO
    }/portlibs/ppc” –libdir=”${DEVKITPRO}/portlibs/ppc/lib”
    ‘.’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.

    H:TestWiiMClibsfribidi>make
    make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

    and of course nothing actually compiles

    @driverx that is very helpful, thank you (but still wiimc errors at the end and doesn’t compile)

    Tristar, don’t use windows command prompt, use msys (installed with devkit pro)
    @tantric, thanks for your help, but it seems that fribidi needs more than runing the configure script to compile… and libfreetype configure script aborts under windows but under linux is working fine…

    No, it works perfectly fine with the latest SVN. And libfreetype – why don’t you use the one from the devkitpro portlibs?!

    fribidi did actually configure/compile fine with configure/make/make install. You do get an error on the make, which you can safely ignore – since your .a is already created. However, I’ve updated the SVN so you don’t get an error at the end. This will hopefully cut down on confusion.

    Tantric, thank you, you were right, now everything works fine.

    Anyway, I’ve made a detailed “how to” to avoid future compiling questions and let Tantric concentrate on the real problems 😉
    1. Download WiiMC source (i’m using TortoiseSVN)
    2. Install Devkit Pro and restart your system.
    3. Download the following libs :
    Zlib
    MXml
    LibPng
    Freetype
    Jpeg8a (not sure if wiimc is using it)
    4. Go to your devkitPro folder and create the portlibs folder; inside portlibs create a folder named “ppc“
    5. Extract all the downloaded libs inside ppc folder
    6. Now you must compile the libs located inside the WiiMC/libs folder. You must use Msys (installed with Devkit Pro, you can find it in Start Menu > Programs >DevkitPro), don’t use Windows Command Prompt.
    6.1. For fribidi and libiconv, before runing ” make” you first must run

    ./configure --host=powerpc-eabi --prefix="${DEVKITPRO}/portlibs/ppc" --libdir="${DEVKITPRO}/portlibs/ppc/lib"

    After this run “make” and “make install“
    6.2. libntfs, opencore-amr and openjpeg can be compiled by simply runing “make” and “make install“
    7. Now you can run “make” in wiimc folder

    “
    6.1. For fribidi and libiconv, before runing ” make” you first must run
    Code: Select all
    ./configure –host=powerpc-eabi –prefix=”${DEVKITPRO}/portlibs/ppc” –libdir=”${DEVKITPRO}/portlibs/ppc/lib”
    “

    need i to run “make” and “make install” in /d/devkitpro/…./wiimc/fribidi or libiconv after 6.1 “.configure”

    Thank you all,

    Driverx’s 7 step process got me to my first successful build.

    For anyone building under vista, you should also run MSYS as administrator.

    Anyone else getting this error?:

    Any idea how to solve this?

    Open msys ETC directory (usually is C:devkitPromsysetc).
    Open with “Programmers Notepad” the file “fstab”, and add these lines:

      c:/devkitPRO/devkitPPC /ppc
      
c:/devkitpro /devkitpro
      
c:/devkitpro/wiimc /wiimc
      
c:/devkitpro/portlibs /portlibs

    Open with “Programmers Notepad” the file “profile”, and modify these lines at the end of file:

    alias clear=clsb
    

    
cd "$HOME"

      with (if you have WinXP):

      alias clear=clsb
      
export DEVKITPPC=/ppc
      
export PATH=$PATH:$DEVKITPPC/bin
      

      
cd "$HOME"

      or with (if you have Win Vista/7):

      alias clear=clsb
      
export DEVKITPPC=/ppc
      
export PATH=$PATH:$DEVKITPPC/bin:$DEVKITPPC/libexec/gcc/powerpc-eabi/4.4.3:$DEVKITPPC/powerpc-eabi/bin
      

      
cd "$HOME"

    @schmidex

    I cured it by typing this line:

    PATH=$DEVKITPPC/bin:$PATH

    just prior to :

    ./configure –host=powerpc-eabi –prefix=”${DEVKITPRO}/portlibs/ppc” –libdir=”${DEVKITPRO}/portlibs/ppc/lib”
