## Creating a new project for an existing plugin.
|
|
**This requires the [IDE](dev_ide_setup), [toolchain](dev_toolchain_setup) and [libraries](dev_required_libraries) already to installed and set up.**
|
|
|
|
**You may also want to take a look at the Code::Blocks templates, a tutorial can be found [here](dev_project_template_in_code_blocks).**
|
|
|
|
Existing source files, can be turned into a Code::Blocks project. This requires an existing Makefile that will be used.
|
|
One can be found for example in the [example_plugin](https://github.com/Maschell/WiiUPluginSystem/tree/master/plugins/example_plugin).
|
|
|
|
**Creating the project files**
|
|
|
|
1. Click on `File -> New -> Project` on the menu bar.
|
|
2. Choose `Empty project` and press `Go`
|
|
3. Click on `Next`
|
|
4. Set a project title
|
|
5. Fill in the path of the (existing) project
|
|
6. Make sure the `resulting filename` is correct (removing on directory)
|
|
7. Press on `Next`
|
|
8. Choose the `GNU GCC Compiler for PowerPC (HighTec)`
|
|
9. Press `Finish`
|
|
|
|
**Configure the project - setting custom makefile**
|
|
1. Right click on the project and choose `Properties`
|
|
2. Tick the checkbox at `This is a custom Makefile`, to a custom Makefile.
|
|
3. Save the settings by clicking on `Ok`
|
|
4. Right click on the project and choose `Build options`
|
|
5. Go to the tab `"Make" commands`
|
|
6. Set `Build project/target` to `make -j8`
|
|
7. Set `Clean project/target` to `make clean`
|
|
8. Save the setting by pressing `Ok`
|
|
|
|
**Configure the project - adding include paths**
|
|
To have the best experience with the auto-completion, you need to add the header of all linked static libs.
|
|
This can be done with the following steps:
|
|
1. Right click on the project and choose `Properties`
|
|
2. Open the C/C++ parser options` tab
|
|
3. Add all missing include path using the `Add` button.
|
|
4. Save the settings by pressing `Ok`.
|
|
|
|
Common include paths would be:
|
|
```
|
|
<path-to-installed-devkitpro>\wups\include
|
|
<path-to-installed-wut>\include
|
|
<path-to-installed-wut>\include\libutils\wut
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Adding the source files**
|
|
To add the source files:
|
|
1. Right click on the project and choose `Add files recursively...`
|
|
2. Choose the project folder (should be default)
|
|
3. Click on `Ok`
|
|
4. Click again on `Ok`
|
|
5. Click one last time on `Ok`
|
|
|
|
Now you should see your source files and can modify them. Try to build the project with `CTRL + F9`
