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”

Seriously, if you need hand-holding through every step, you have no business compiling anything. Whatever you compile will probably end up only half-working anyway.

driverx was just a little misguided, but has enough sense to try a few things before asking for help.

Thanks, but it’s compiling now. Didn’t need any hand-holding, just some accurate directions. 😆

We all learn by asking – even you did.

No need for any more of your childish comments (go ahead if you really must, but I have no reason to come back and laugh at them), thanks for your help 😉

Listen, they DO compile fine. I only use Windows. So don’t spread that crap.

You have to use Msys to configure, make, and make install
For libntfs you just need to make and make install.
libprojectM isn’t even used!

It isn’t rocket science, but sometimes with these things you have to use a little problem-solving skills.

It might help if your helpful guidance was a little more accurate 😉

Did you not say this

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

It isn’t rocket science, but not everyone eats and breathes this stuff so, if the information supplied was actually correct, maybe that crap might not spread as a result. Now you go take a chill pill and I’ll have another go now we know that your original instructions were misleading 😆

@tj_cool

The supplied libs do not all compile under windows so I am using libs compiled in linux by driverx.

openjpeg, libprojectM and libntfs fail because there is no configure in the folder

$ ./configure –host=powerpc-eabi –prefix=”${DEVKITPRO}/portlibs/ppc” –libdir
=”${DEVKITPRO}/portlibs/ppc/lib”
sh: ./configure: No such file or directory

presumably then, it cannot compile correctly until the configure file is included for these libs ?

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…

Thanks

It works fine, you must have a bad compile. Try doing a make clean.

It doesn’t work fine, it stops every time with this

linking … wiimc.elf
c:/devkitpro/devkitppc/bin/../lib/gcc/powerpc-eabi/4.4.3/../../../../powerpc-eab

Those instructions all sound horribly wrong. Please ignore them.

./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)
