#### Building the Homebrew Launcher
To build the main application devkitPPC is required as well as some additionally libraries. If not yet done export the path of devkitPPC and devkitPro to the evironment variables DEVKITPRO and DEVKITPPC.
Make sure you have [wut](https://github.com/devkitPro/wut/) installed.
In addition you need:
- [libgui](https://github.com/wiiu-env/libgui) for the gui elements.
- The ppc-portlibs `pacman -Syu ppc-portlibs`
All remaining is to enter the main application path and enter "make". You should get a homebrew_launcher.rpx in the main path.
