Know ASM, but not your way around linux? Want to help or just try out building pokecrystal on Windows, but got stuck
|
||
|
|
somewhere along the way? Fear not, for.. whatever, just follow this tutorial.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Get `cygwin`. Cygwin provides a virtual linux enviorment on Windows systems. Just get `setup.exe`:
|
||
|
|
http://cygwin.com/install.html
|
||
|
|
During the install:
|
||
|
|
I. Keep the defaults
|
||
|
|
II. It shouldn't matter which mirror you choose. http://mirrors.kernel.org worked for me.
|
||
|
|
III. Now you'll be presented with a package selection screen. Select the following packages. You may use the
|
||
|
|
search.
|
||
|
|
* `python` (installed by default)
|
||
|
|
* `gcc`, `gcc-core` (under devel)
|
||
|
|
* `byacc` (under devel)
|
||
|
|
* `make` (under devel)
|
||
|
|
* `wget` (under web)
|
||
|
|
* `git` (under devel)
|
||
|
|
* `mercurial` (optional, if you wish to work with pokered as well)
|
||
|
|
* `nano` (optional, a simple terminal text editor)
|
||
|
|
IV. Finish the install. Might take a sec while all packages are downloading.
|
||
|
|
2. Launch `cygwin`.
|
||
|
|
Hopefully you know your way around the linux terminal. If not, a crash course:
|
||
|
|
* `ls` - list directory
|
||
|
|
* `pwd` - write current directory
|
||
|
|
* `cd` - change directory
|
||
|
|
3. First of all, we need to build `rgbds`, the GB compiler. Type:
|
||
|
|
$ git clone git://github.com/bentley/rgbds.git
|
||
|
|
$ cd rgbds
|
||
|
|
$ YACC=byacc make
|
||
|
|
$ export PATH=$PATH:`pwd`
|
||
|
|
$ echo "export PATH=$PATH:`pwd`" >> ~/.bashrc
|
||
|
|
At this point, you should be able to close cygwin, reopen it and successfully run `rgbasm`.
|
||
|
|
$ cd ~
|
||
|
|
$ wget http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py
|
||
|
|
$ easy_install unittest2
|
||
|
|
Now we should be able to build `pokecrystal` for the first time.
|
||
|
|
$ cd ~
|
||
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/kanzure/pokecrystal.git
|
||
|
|
$ cd pokecrystal
|
||
|
|
Please download a Pokemon Crystal ROM and save it as `C:\cygwin\home\(your username)\pokecrystal\baserom.gbc`
|
||
|
|
$ make
|
||
|
|
This will take between 5 and 15 seconds, depending on your computer.
|
||
|
|
If you see `cmp baserom.gbc pokecrystal.gbc` as the last line, the build was successful! Rejoice!
|
||
|
|
Now you may try messing around with `main.asm`, or just do whatever you wanted to.
|
||
|
|
To build again, you should use the following command:
|
||
|
|
$ make clean && make
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Feel free to ask us on #skeetendo if something goes wrong (remember to tell where)!
