# Instructions
|
|
|
|
These instructions explain how to set up the tools required to build **pokecrystal**, including [**rgbds**](https://github.com/gbdev/rgbds), which assembles the source files into a ROM.
|
|
|
|
If you run into trouble, ask for help on IRC or Discord (see [README.md](README.md)).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Windows 10 and newer
|
|
|
|
Download and install [**Windows Subsystem for Linux**](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10). Then open the **WSL terminal**.
|
|
|
|
Update WSL's software before continuing. If you chose Debian, Ubuntu, or another distribution that uses `apt-get`, then enter this command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
WSL has its own file system that's not accessible from Windows, but Windows files *are* accessible from WSL. So you're going to want to install pokecrystal within Windows. You'll have to change the **current working directory** every time you open WSL.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you want to store pokecrystal in **C:\Users\\*\<user>*\Desktop**, enter this command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd /mnt/c/Users/<user>/Desktop
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
(The Windows `C:\` drive is called `/mnt/c/` in WSL. Replace *\<user>* in the example path with your username.)
|
|
|
|
If this works, then follow [the instructions for **Linux**](#linux) below for whatever distribution you installed for WSL.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, continue reading below for [the older Windows instructions](#windows-any-version).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Windows (any version)
|
|
|
|
Download [**Cygwin**](http://cygwin.com/install.html): **setup-x86_64.exe** for 64-bit Windows, **setup-x86.exe** for 32-bit.
|
|
|
|
Run setup and leave the default settings. At the "**Select Packages**" step, choose to install the following, all of which are in the "**Devel**" category:
|
|
|
|
- `make`
|
|
- `git`
|
|
- `gcc-core`
|
|
|
|
Double click on the text that says "**Skip**" next to each package to select the most recent version to install.
|
|
|
|
Then follow the [**rgbds** instructions](https://rgbds.gbdev.io/install#pre-built) for Windows with Cygwin to install **rgbds 0.7.0**.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** If you already have an installed rgbds older than 0.7.0, you will need to update to 0.7.0. Ignore this if you have never installed rgbds before. If a version newer than 0.7.0 does not work, try downloading 0.7.0.
|
|
|
|
Now open the **Cygwin terminal** and enter the following commands.
|
|
|
|
Cygwin has its own file system that's within Windows, at **C:\cygwin64\home\\*\<user>***. If you don't want to store pokecrystal there, you'll have to change the **current working directory** every time you open Cygwin.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you want to store pokecrystal in **C:\Users\\*\<user>*\Desktop**:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd /cygdrive/c/Users/<user>/Desktop
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
(The Windows `C:\` drive is called `/cygdrive/c/` in Cygwin. Replace *\<user>* in the example path with your username.)
|
|
|
|
Now you're ready to [build **pokecrystal**](#build-pokecrystal).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## macOS
|
|
|
|
Install [**Homebrew**](https://brew.sh/). Follow the official instructions.
|
|
|
|
Open **Terminal** and prepare to enter commands.
|
|
|
|
Then follow the [**rgbds** instructions](https://rgbds.gbdev.io/install#pre-built) for macOS to install **rgbds 0.7.0**.
|
|
|
|
Now you're ready to [build **pokecrystal**](#build-pokecrystal).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Linux
|
|
|
|
Open **Terminal** and enter the following commands, depending on which distro you're using.
|
|
|
|
### Debian or Ubuntu
|
|
|
|
To install the software required for **pokecrystal**:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt-get install make gcc git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then follow the [**rgbds** instructions](https://rgbds.gbdev.io/install#building-from-source) to build **rgbds 0.7.0** from source.
|
|
|
|
### OpenSUSE
|
|
|
|
To install the software required for **pokecrystal**:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo zypper install make gcc git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then follow the [**rgbds** instructions](https://rgbds.gbdev.io/install#building-from-source) to build **rgbds 0.7.0** from source.
|
|
|
|
### Arch Linux
|
|
|
|
To install the software required for **pokecrystal**:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo pacman -S make gcc git rgbds
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to compile and install **rgbds** yourself instead, then follow the [**rgbds** instructions](https://rgbds.gbdev.io/install#building-from-source) to build **rgbds 0.7.0** from source.
|
|
|
|
### Termux
|
|
|
|
To install the software required for **pokecrystal**:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt install make clang git sed
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To install **rgbds**:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt install rgbds
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to compile and install **rgbds** yourself instead, then follow the [**rgbds** instructions](https://rgbds.gbdev.io/install#building-from-source) to build **rgbds 0.7.0** from source.
|
|
|
|
### Other distros
|
|
|
|
If your distro is not listed here, try to find the required software in its repositories:
|
|
|
|
- `make`
|
|
- `gcc` (or `clang`)
|
|
- `git`
|
|
- `rgbds`
|
|
|
|
If `rgbds` is not available, you'll need to follow the [**rgbds** instructions](https://rgbds.gbdev.io/install#building-from-source) to build **rgbds 0.7.0** from source.
|
|
|
|
Now you're ready to [build **pokecrystal**](#build-pokecrystal).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Build pokecrystal
|
|
|
|
To download the **pokecrystal** source files:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal
|
|
cd pokecrystal
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To build **pokecrystal.gbc**:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To build **pokecrystal11.gbc**:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
make crystal11
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Build with a local rgbds version
|
|
|
|
If you have different projects that require different versions of `rgbds`, it might not be convenient to install rgbds 0.7.0 globally. Instead, you can put its files in a directory within pokecrystal, such as `pokecrystal/rgbds-0.7.0/`. Then specify it when you run `make`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
make RGBDS=rgbds-0.7.0/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
make RGBDS=rgbds-0.7.0/ crystal11
|
|
```
