# Instructions These instructions explain how to set up the tools required to build **pokecrystal**, including [**rgbds**](https://github.com/rednex/rgbds), which assembles the source files into a ROM. If you run into trouble, ask for help on IRC or Discord (see [README.md](README.md)). ## Windows 10 Download and install [**Windows Subsystem for Linux**](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10). Then open the **WSL terminal**. WSL has its own file system that's not accessible from Windows, but Windows files *are* accessible from WSL. So you're going to want to install pokecrystal within Windows. You'll have to change the **current working directory** every time you open WSL. For example, if you want to store pokecrystal in **C:\Users\\*\<user>*\Desktop**, enter this command: ```bash cd /mnt/c/Users/<user>/Desktop ``` (The Windows `C:\` drive is called `/mnt/c/` in WSL. Replace *\<user>* in the example path with your username.) Then follow [the instructions for **Linux**](#linux). If this doesn't work, try following [the regular Windows instructions](#windows) below. ## Windows Download [**Cygwin**](http://cygwin.com/install.html): **setup-x86_64.exe** for 64-bit Windows, **setup-x86.exe** for 32-bit. Run setup and leave the default settings. At the "**Select Packages**" step, choose to install the following, all of which are in the "**Devel**" category: - `make` - `git` - `gcc-core` Click once on the text that says "**Skip**" next to each package to select the most recent version to install. Then download [**rgbds**](https://github.com/rednex/rgbds/releases/): the latest **win64.zip** or **win32.zip** release. Extract it and put all the `exe` and `dll` files individually in **C:\cygwin64\usr\local\bin**. **Note: If you already have an older rgbds, you will need to update to 0.3.7.** Ignore this if you have never installed rgbds before. If a version newer than 0.3.7 does not work, try downloading 0.3.7. Now open the **Cygwin terminal** and enter the following commands. Cygwin has its own file system that's within Windows, at **C:\cygwin64\home\\*\<user>***. If you don't want to store pokecrystal there, you'll have to change the **current working directory** every time you open Cygwin. For example, if you want to store pokecrystal in **C:\Users\\*\<user>*\Desktop**: ```bash cd /cygdrive/c/Users/<user>/Desktop ``` (The Windows `C:\` drive is called `/cygdrive/c/` in Cygwin. Replace *\<user>* in the example path with your username.) Now you're ready to [build **pokecrystal**](#build-pokecrystal). ## Mac OS X Open **Terminal** and enter the following commands. To install the **Xcode Command Line Tools**: ```bash xcode-select --install ``` To install **rgbds**: ```bash git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/rednex/rgbds sudo make -C rgbds CFLAGS=-O2 install ``` Now you're ready to [build **pokecrystal**](#build-pokecrystal). ## Linux Open **Terminal** and enter the following commands, depending on which distro you're using. ### Debian or Ubuntu To install the software required for **pokecrystal**: ```bash sudo apt-get install make gcc git ``` To install **rgbds**: ```bash sudo apt-get install pkg-config flex bison libpng-dev git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/rednex/rgbds sudo make -C rgbds CFLAGS=-O2 install ``` ### OpenSUSE To install the software required for **pokecrystal**: ```bash sudo zypper install make gcc git ``` To install **rgbds**: ```bash sudo zypper install pkg-config flex bison libpng16-devel git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/rednex/rgbds sudo make -C rgbds CFLAGS=-O2 install ``` ### Arch Linux To install the software required for **pokecrystal**: ```bash sudo pacman -S make gcc git ``` **rgbds** is available on the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rgbds/). Alternatively, to install **rgbds** manually: ```bash sudo pacman -S pkg-config flex bison libpng git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/rednex/rgbds sudo make -C rgbds CFLAGS=-O2 install ``` ### Termux To install the software required for **pokecrystal**: ```bash sudo apt install make clang git sed ``` To install **rgbds**: ```bash sudo apt install rgbds ``` ### Other distros If your distro is not listed here, try to find the required software in its repositories: - `make` - `gcc` (or `clang`) - `git` - `rgbds` If `rgbds` is not available, you'll also need these: - `pkg-config` - `flex` - `bison` - `libpng` (and the development headers) To install **rgbds**: ```bash git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/rednex/rgbds sudo make -C rgbds CFLAGS=-O2 install ``` Now you're ready to [build **pokecrystal**](#build-pokecrystal). ## Build pokecrystal To download the **pokecrystal** source files: ```bash git clone https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal cd pokecrystal ``` To build **pokecrystal.gbc**: ```bash make ``` To build **pokecrystal11.gbc**: ```bash make crystal11 ```
