Introduction

This tutorial aims to:

  • Show you how to setup the devkitppc development environment on a Mac OS X computer
  • Set you on the road to creating your own homebrew software to be loaded with the Twilight Hack

Installing devkitPPC

Building an Example Project

  • Launch Terminal (found in /Application/Utilities).
  • Type 'cd ', then drag in the folder for one of the example projects.
  • Type 'make', and your project will be built. A *.dol and *.elf file will appear in the folder.

Building a Project in Xcode

  • Launch Xcode.
  • Select "New Project…" from the File menu.
  • Under "Other", select "External Build System".
  • Name your project, and pick a place to save it.
  • Start by dragging in the Makefile and source folder from the 'template' example.
  • In the sidebar, under "Targets", double-click the target with your project's name.
  • In the window that appears, click the plus button to add two build settings named DEVKITPRO and DEVKITPPC with the same values as in the installation instructions.
  • Clicking "Build" should now build your project. Xcode will even give you appropriate errors if make can't build your project.
