| The '''MLlib''' (or Minishlink's Library) is a simple library to develop on Nintendo Wii. Technically, it's a wrapper of libogc and others librairies. Coding with this lib on Wii is way easier and faster now ! :-) I created this because I needed a library with I could code with easy functions. It uses [[GX]] for drawing, [[libpng]] for handling PNG, and libs of [[libogc]]...
| |
| | |
| ==Features==
| |
| * Proper code so that it's nice to see;
| |
| * Easy for all;
| |
| * Friendly functions;
| |
| * Handles drawing (lol);
| |
| * Sprite system;
| |
| * Handles PNG images;
| |
| * Special effects;
| |
| * Write graphically text;
| |
| * MP3 system;
| |
| * MOD system;
| |
| * Input (Wiimote, Nunchuk, and extensions...) system;
| |
| * And much more...

| | |
| ==How to install ?==
| |
| ===On Windows===
| |
| First you need to have '''devKitPro''' installed. Go [[Devkitppc setup (Windows)|install]] it ! ;)
| |
| | |
| Then, '''libpng''' for Wii must be installed.
| |
| # Download it at [http://louislagrange.free.fr/MLlib/downloads/libpng_wii.zip my FTP].
| |
| # Extract it and place the .a in "devkitpro\libogc\lib\wii" and the folder "png" in "devkitpro\libogc\include".
| |
| # It's done !
| |
| | |
| Now the '''MLlib'''.
| |
| # Download the MLlib on the [http://code.google.com/p/mllib/downloads/list Google Code MLlib page]
| |
| # Extract the archive and place the folder (recommended in C:\devkitPro)
| |
| # Examples, documentation and more are in the "MLlib_Others_XXXXXX.zip" package.
| |
| # Set the environment variable "MLPATH" to your path to the MLlib. (eg. "/c/devkitPro/MLlib" because it must be linux-style) To do that, open the Start menu, right-click on Computer -> Properties, then go to the advanced settings -> environments variables. Set it there. It's recommended to restart the computer.
| |
| # It should be done ! Go explore examples ! :D (test if it works via an example)
| |
| | |
| ===On Linux===
| |
| | |
| First you need to have '''devKitPro''' installed. Go [[Devkitppc setup (Linux)|install]] it ! ;)
| |
| | |
| Then, '''libpng''' for Wii must be installed.
| |
| # Download it at [http://louislagrange.free.fr/MLlib/downloads/libpng_wii.zip my FTP].
| |
| # Extract it and place the .a in "devkitpro/libogc/lib/wii" and the folder "png" in "devkitpro/libogc/include".
| |
| # It's done !
| |
| | |
| Now the '''MLlib'''.
| |
| # Download the MLlib on the [http://code.google.com/p/mllib/downloads/list Google Code MLlib page]
| |
| # Extract the archive and place the folder where you want (recommended in /home/user/devkitpro)
| |
| # Examples, documentation and more are in the "MLlib_Others_XXXXXX.zip" package.
| |
| # Set the environment variable "MLPATH" to your path to the MLlib. (eg. "/home/username/devkitpro/MLlib") To do that, open and type in a new console:
| |
| export MLPATH=/path/to/MLlib
| |
| | |
| | |
| It should be done ! Go explore examples ! :D
| |
| (test if it works via an example)
| |
| | |
| ===On Mac OS X===
| |
| | |
| You should be able to do it if you read Windows/Linux instructions.
| |
| Updated tutorial will coming soon though, with Mac OS X ;)
| |
| | |
| ==Notes==
| |
| ===Quickstart===
| |
| For a quickstart, see the section [[#How_to_install_.3F|How to install ?]] and go see the examples in the "MLlib_Others_XXXXXX.zip" package ! ;)
| |
| | |
| ===Tutorials and Wiki===
| |
| Some tutorials and more info are available at the [http://louislagrange.free.fr/MLlib/wiki MLlib Wiki].
| |
| | |
| ===Documentation===
| |
| Online documentation is available [http://louislagrange.free.fr/MLlib/documentation here]. Or in the "MLlib_Others_XXXXXX.zip" package.
| |
| | |
| ==="MLlib_Others_XXXXXX.zip" package===
| |
| It can be downloaded on [http://code.google.com/p/mllib/downloads/list Google Code] !
| |
| | |
| ===Error when compiling the template/examples ?===
| |
| To test correctly the examples and the template, make sure you have done a "make clean" before, because it will give you the error
| |
| make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/home/minishlink/devkitpro/MLlib_Others/template/source/main.c', needed by `main.o'. Stop.
| |
| if you don't do this ! :p
| |
| | |
| ===Makefile & Commands===
| |
| ====Editing Makefile====
| |
| In order to use the MOD part of the MLlib, you need to uncomment the line "USE_MOD" at the top of the Makefile. It's the same thing when you need to compile code that uses MP3 or FAT.
| |
| | |
| ====Make====
| |
| Compiles the project.
| |
| | |
| ====Make clean====
| |
| Cleans the project, it destroys dependancies too.
| |
| | |
| ====Make run====
| |
| It sends the app/game previously compiled to the Wii via the wiiload program. It's quiet useful because you don't need to type "wiiload projectXYZ.dol", "make run" is faster !
| |
| You have to put the original [[Wiiload]] program (eg. the command-line program, which is provided with Twilight Hack or HBC) in the system folder of your OS. Example : "C:\Windows\System32" for Windows ; "/usr/bin" for Linux ; "??? #FixIt" for MaxOSX.
| |
| | |
| Wiiload program can be downloaded [http://louislagrange.free.fr/downloads/wiiload.tar.gz here] or in the [[Hackmii Installer]] (beta 3 or newer).
| |
| | |
| ====Make all====
| |
| It cleans the project, then compiles and then sends to the Wii.
