Error compiling (devkitPPC is set correctly)

[hello2000]

I’m trying to compile WiiMC, I already managed to get past the devkitPPC setup problems (I’m on Linux, that’s why things were difficult), I can compile the code examples that come with devkitpro. The environment variables are set correctly.

I checked out the source code of WiiMC from svn, and now it is at /home/USERNAME/wiimc-read-only. When I change to this folder and execute make, per the instructions, it starts compiling mplayer, then exists with an error on stream.o, then starts compiling WiiMC and complains about ntfs.h not existing when compiling fileop.cpp.

The question of not finding ntfs.h, is comprehensible, as I have downloaded libntfs and libext2fs, but I don’t know where to put them. This is my first problem. The second problem is, shouldn’t mplayer compile until it finishes and not return an error on stream.o?

Here’s the last lines of the output of make (I can provide them all if needed):

I’m using 32-bit Ubuntu 10.10. But, being the problem when compiling WiiMC and as devkitPPC works, I don’t think the problem is much platform related.

Any help is much appreciated, it’s the second time I ask for help (and for the first time, nobody helped me, something understandable, as it was a quite strange situation, which I solved by using a fresh Linux install) and I’d really like to compile WiiMC to improve its user interface and hack other things for my own use.

You need to make install after make to add these to libogc.

SEE THE UPDATE AT THE BOTTOM

Thanks a lot for your help. I did make and make install on both libntfs and libext2fs and now it gets past the errors over the includes not being found. But, either because I’m very stupid or because WiiMC’s compilation process too complex for my brain’s capacity, I still can’t compile it. Now it complains about specific errors in the code:

Or is this a problem with the code in SVN which has indeed errors, and I should try checking out other revision?

Anticipated thanks
Gabriel

EDIT: I’m managing to get past this and other problems using the instructions found at http://wiitaly.altervista.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=133&start=10 : Google Translate helps a lot. I compiled the latest libogc and I’m now fixing the strings.h errors as they appear by putting

#ifndef GEKKO

#include 

#endif

Let’s hope it compiles and the finished product works well.

EDIT2: Oh well. I knew things couldn’t be so easy. It seems that again something’s wrong. Perhaps, it’s because I put strings.h includes inside ifndefs?
Make now says this:

[cadbusca]

I used this to fix strings. http://www.wiimc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1167#p5248

I’venot seen your errors before. Perhaps its a Linux thing.

[hello2000]

Thanks, I’ll see what I can do.

[rodries]

The strings.h error is because devkitppc r22 doesn’t have a strings.h. What I used to do is put #ifndef GEKKO / #endif throughout the code, but now dkppc r23 does include strings.h so I don’t have to go to that work anymore. Unfortunately r23 still isn’t publicly released so you guys are stuck with source code that doesn’t compile without making this modification yourself 🙁

[rodries]

…And your errors are quite clear. They indicate you’re missing libiconv – you’ll see that’s also on the requirements list. See here: http://www.wiimc.org/compiling-instructions/

[hello2000]

I have libiconv in the appropriate folder (wiimc-read-only/libs/libiconv) and it is compiled and installed (make && make install). Tried to make install again just to see there’s nothing to be done.

When I execute make on wiimc-read-only folder, it still returns the same error.

I’m using the #ifndef trick I discovered on that Italian forum and that Tantric confirmed now. It allows me to compile without errors, until the point I posted on the other pastebin URL I mentioned.

Thanks again for your help so far 🙂

[cadbusca]

The compile process is different for it

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

see http://www.wiimc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=489#p1999

Did you do that?

[hello2000]

I did it now and now it seems the compiled libiconv is incompatible, see below:

etc. etc. etc.

Hmmm… what should I do now? It seems it’s even worse than before, before it didn’t complain about incompatibilities.

[cadbusca]

Wipe out everything and start over following instructions precisely!

[hello2000]

I see. I’m yet to decide if it’s just better to get a ramdisk instead of a hard drive to compile WiiMC, I already had to start over so many times that a volatile system that I could reset to the default by just powering down would be useful! 😀 😀

I’ll get the time to clean the traces of devkitPPC and everything else and then I’ll see what instructions I should follow.
