## Requirements
|
|
To be able to compile the loader, you need to already have installed the [toolchain](dev_toolchain_setup)
|
|
and [required libs](dev_required_libraries).
|
|
**Make sure to also install DevkitARM!**
|
|
|
|
## Compiling the loader
|
|
Before the loader can be compiled, dependencies need to be installed. This can be either can via an experimental bash script or manually.
|
|
|
|
### Installing libraries via bash script
|
|
The plugin system provides an experimental bash script that clones all needed git repositories and builds/installs these libraries.
|
|
The script can be found [here](https://github.com/Maschell/WiiUPluginLoader/blob/master/installupdateportlibs.sh)
|
|
|
|
Before the bash script can be used, make sure you have the following tools installed and set to your `PATH` variable.
|
|
```
|
|
devkitPro
|
|
git
|
|
7z
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This script creates a new directory `portlib_repos` where the repository will be stored. When running for the first time, the repositories will be cloned,
|
|
built and installed. Running a second time will update the repositories and rebuild/reinstalled the libraries on updates.
|
|
|
|
### Installing libraries manually
|
|
The loader has some dependencies, a full list can be found here:
|
|
- [libiosuhax](https://github.com/dimok789/libiosuhax) (Build WITHOUT the WUT flag set.)
|
|
- [libfat](https://github.com/Maschell/libfat/) (Build with `make wiiu-release && make wiiu-install`)
|
|
- [libntfs](https://github.com/Maschell/libntfs-wiiu) (Build with make wiiu-install)
|
|
- [dynamic_libs](https://github.com/Maschell/dynamic_libs/tree/lib) for access to the functions.
|
|
- [libutils](https://github.com/Maschell/libutils) for common functions.
|
|
- [libgui](https://github.com/Maschell/libgui) for the gui elements.
|
|
|
|
Install the according to their readmes. Don't forget to install their dependencies.
|
|
|
|
**Note: Don't forget to install the [WUPS library](dev_required_libraries#wups-library)**
|
|
|
|
#### Other dependencies
|
|
|
|
All needed dependencies are in the "loader/libs" folder of this repository. Extract the "portlibs.zip" archive into your devkitPro directory.
|
|
The archive includes:
|
|
|
|
- zlib
|
|
|
|
## Compiling
|
|
|
|
Then call the following command in the "loader" directory.
|
|
|
|
``` Bash
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This should create an `wiiupluginloader.elf` which can be loaded with the Homebrew Launcher.
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
- When you change code in the mocha files, this isn't detected by the Makefile. You need to do a `make clean` beforehand in this case.
