### Choosing where to store pokeemerald (Cygwin)
|
||||
### Configuring devkitPro for Cygwin
|
||||
Open **Cygwin**.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that in Cygwin, Copy is Ctrl+Insert and Paste is Shift+Insert.
|
||||
|
||||
Run the following commands to configure devkitPro to work with Cygwin.
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export DEVKITPRO=/cygdrive/c/devkitpro
|
||||
echo export DEVKITPRO=$DEVKITPRO >> ~/.bashrc
|
||||
export DEVKITARM=$DEVKITPRO/devkitARM
|
||||
echo export DEVKITARM=$DEVKITARM >> ~/.bashrc
|
||||
```
|
||||
(Replace the drive letter c with the actual drive letter if it is not c).
|
||||
|
||||
### Choosing where to store pokeemerald (Cygwin)
|
||||
|
||||
Cygwin has its own file system that's within Windows, at **C:\cygwin64\home\\_\<user>_**. If you don't want to store pokeemerald there, you'll have to change the **current working directory** every time you open Cygwin.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, if you want to store pokeemerald (and agbcc) in **C:\Users\\_\<user>_\Desktop\decomps**, enter this command:

If this works, then proceed to [Installation](#Installation). Otherwise, ask for help on IRC or Discord (see [README.md](README.md)).
|

|

## macOS
|
||||
TODO: add macOS instructions
|
||||
The [Xcode Command Line Tools Package](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2339/_index.html) is required. Open your Terminal and run the following command:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
xcode-select --install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If devkitPro is not installed, then go to [Installing devkitPro (macOS)](#installing-devkitpro-macos). Otherwise, open the Terminal and go to [Choosing where to store pokeemerald (macOS)](#choosing-where-to-store-pokeemerald-macos)
|
||||
|
||||
### Installing devkitPro (macOS)
|
||||
Download the `devkitpro-pacman-installer.pkg` package from [here](https://github.com/devkitPro/pacman/releases).
|
||||
|
||||
Run the `open` command to install the devkitPro package. The command arguments depend on where the package was saved to. For example, if the package was saved to `~/Downloads` (the Downloads location for most users), enter this command:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
open ~/Downloads/devkitpro-pacman-installer.pkg
|
||||
```
|
||||
(If the path has spaces, then the path must be wrapped with quotations, e.g. "~/Downloads/My Downloads/devkitpro-pacman-installer.pkg").
|
||||
|
||||
Now devkitPro must be configured with the tools required for GBA development. Run the following commands:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo dkp-pacman -Sy
|
||||
sudo dkp-pacman -S gba-dev
|
||||
sudo dkp-pacman -S devkitarm-rules
|
||||
```
|
||||
At this point, press Enter to confirm the installation. After the tools are installed, devkitPro must now be made accessible from anywhere by the system. To do so, run the following commands:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
export DEVKITPRO=$HOME/devkitpro
|
||||
echo "export DEVKITPRO=$DEVKITPRO" >> ~/.bashrc
|
||||
export DEVKITARM=$DEVKITPRO/devkitARM
|
||||
echo "export DEVKITARM=$DEVKITARM" >> ~/.bashrc
|
||||
|
||||
echo "if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc; fi" >> ~/.bash_profile
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Choosing where to store pokeemerald (macOS)
|
||||
At this point, you can choose a folder to store pokeemerald into. If so, you'll have to change the **current working directory** every time you open the Terminal. If you're okay with storing pokeemerald in the user profile folder, then proceed to [Installation](#installation).
|
||||
|
||||
For example, if you want to store pokeemerald (and agbcc) in **~/Desktop/decomps**, enter this command:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd Desktop/decomps
|
||||
```
|
||||
Note that the directory **must exist** in the folder system. If you want to store pokeemerald in a dedicated folder that doesn't exist (e.g. the example provided above), then create the folder (e.g. using Finder) before executing the `cd` command.
|
||||
|
||||
If this works, then proceed to [Installation](#Installation). Otherwise, ask for help on IRC or Discord (see [README.md](README.md)).
|
||||
|
||||
## Linux
|
||||
TODO: add Linux instructions
|
||||
Open Terminal and enter the following commands, depending on which distro you're using.
|
||||
|
||||
### Debian or Ubuntu
|
||||
Run the following command to install the necessary packages:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo apt install build-essential binutils-arm-none-eabi git libpng-dev
|
||||
```
|
||||
Then proceed to [Choosing where to store pokeemerald (Linux)](#choosing-where-to-store-pokeemerald-linux).
|
||||
|
||||
### Other distributions
|
||||
_(Instructions for other distributions would be greatly appreciated!)_
|
||||
|
||||
If your distro is not listed here, try to find the required software in its repositories:
|
||||
- `gcc`
|
||||
- `g++`
|
||||
- `make`
|
||||
- `git`
|
||||
- `libpng-dev`
|
||||
|
||||
Then, install the devkitARM toolchain of [devkitPro](https://devkitpro.org/wiki/Getting_Started) as per the instructions on their wiki.
|
||||
|
||||
### Choosing where to store pokeemerald (Linux)
|
||||
At this point, you can choose a folder to store pokeemerald (and agbcc) into. If so, you'll have to change the current working directory every time you open the Terminal.
|
||||
|
||||
If this works, then proceed to [Installation](#Installation). Otherwise, ask for help on IRC or Discord (see [README.md](README.md)).
