Let's try to make a Wii U Toolchain / SDK for creating rpx/rpl.

Licensed under the terms of the zlib License (see LICENSE.txt).

It is recommended to follow devkitPro's Getting Started guide, which will guide you through setting up a suitable homebrew development environment. devkitPro Pacman is exclusively used to manage installed homebrew development components.

The following command installs all necessary packages for Wii U homebrew development, including wut:

(sudo) (dkp-)pacman -Syu --needed wiiu-dev

See samples for examples of how to use wut.

devkitPro CMake provides some helpers for your build:

• wut_create_rpx(target) - Will create an .rpx file from your CMake target generated by add_executable
• wut_create_rpl(target) - Will create an .rpl file from your CMake target generated by add_executable
• wut_add_exports(target exports.def) - Will add exports specified in exports.def for the given target

You can easily build any devkitPro Makefile based wut project with the following commands:

cd samples/make/helloworld
make

You can easily build any devkitPro CMake based wut project with the following commands:

cd samples/cmake/helloworld
mkdir build && cd build
/opt/devkitpro/portlibs/wiiu/bin/powerpc-eabi-cmake ../
make

A minimal CMakeLists.txt file for a C++ project might look like:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.7)
project(helloworld_cpp CXX)

add_executable(helloworld_cpp main.cpp)
wut_create_rpx(helloworld_cpp)

It is strongly recommended to stick to stable released packages installed with devkitPro Pacman.

Building wut is simple as running the following commands:

make
(sudo -E) make install
