The buildscripts in the git repositories should be avoided since the buildscripts found there will often contain the next iteration of a given toolchain rather than the current stable release and may only be usable by our developers. Using these scripts is a simple matter of extracting the archive, running. The scripts will also build and install the current support libraries from the release tarballs. The readme supplied with the buildscripts details some dependencies which need to be in place before starting a build.
Please do not distribute the binaries you obtain that way or recommend that people do this instead of using pacman. Link to Getting Started where more in depth instructions will be provided. You will still need to use the appropiate perl script to obtain the toolchains for now but we hope to provide pacman packages for those in the near future.

It is quite possible and we will do it through as the last chapter in a shell script. So create a file build. These are the components needed to set up the development environment on Linux. First of all, we must organize this mess. Then extract dswifi and libfat-nds into the libnds folder. Now, you should have something close to the following tree view:. The installation of PAlib requires three environment variables.
Open your favorite text editor and add these three lines:. Feel free to adapt these lines according to your own tree view. Apply the changes with this command only gotta do this once :. The following commands will help you to find the new variables:. If this is the case go back and check your. Right, you need to know if you can actually use PAlib.
In order to do so, open up a new terminal. If it returns you something like:. However, if it returns anything else, congratulations, you are good to go! If you get this error, just open your favorite package manager synaptic, aptitude or use apt-get Now your terminal must return:. Or for an English OS :. We will now test our brand new installation. Once you are there, just type:. You have a fully functional PAlib!
Otherwise if you get something like the following:. You want to install Code::Blocks itself as well as the contributor plugins. When you have those installed, open Code::Blocks and go to Settings and then EnvironmentSettings and scroll down to Environment Variables.
Click on Add and input:. DeSmuMe can be also found in some repositories of Linux systems. In RPM based ones try command: yum install desmume. In DEB based ones it will be probably: apt-get install desmume. Install Wine using your package manager and then run the desired emulator through Wine. Mono is a. NET runtime and is most likely in your package manager. Go on take a look Alright we did all the work of setting it up for you, now go make us some games, damnit!
I have created an executable file for building the nds files on linux. You can find it here. Frequently Asked Questions - Installing and Compiling. Any recent machine will come with the Developer Tools on the installer discs, or sometimes as a separate disc. If you just bought your machine, install off the disc. It involves registration, but no money.
Look around while you are in there, as there are some useful tools for all sorts of things you might do when scripting, programming, or even creating video on the Mac. You will also have many command line tools added. In that screen, you should see the 2nd line saying Shell:.
If you are using something other than bash, you either know what you are doing, or will need to find a tutorial to set up your environent paths for your shell. Environment Paths are just paths in your operating system that you or a program define to let yourself or a program do something more easily. For example, say that everyday you have to log in to another machine using the terminal using ssh to check a university email.
The first step would be to log in to the server, probably using a program called ssh. If you are doing this from your own machine, you can simplify this by making what is called an alias.

For instructions on specific cards, look here, which is back up the page in the Windows section Putting the homebrew on the DS. If you are going to be doing much coding, I suggest using an emulator most of the time as this will be far faster than swapping cards, moving files, and unplugging and plugging cables every time you compile.
Maybe just toss it onto actual hardware when you get something that you wonder how it looks for real or is complex enough that it may work differently than on an emulator. This can help you make sure that any errors you might get were not from extra files in your project.
Next up is PAlib. The rest of the folders and files in PAlib are examples and documentation, so they can go wherever you please. To test that everything has been installed properly, fire up Terminal.
