# wut
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](LICENSE.txt)).

## Install

It is recommended to follow [devkitPro's Getting Started guide](https://devkitpro.org/wiki/Getting_Started),
which will guide you through setting up a suitable homebrew development environment.
[devkitPro Pacman](https://devkitpro.org/wiki/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
```

## Usage
See [samples](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

## Building wut projects

### Building wut projects with make
You can easily build any devkitPro Makefile based wut project with the following commands:
```
cd samples/make/helloworld
make
```

### Building wut projects with CMake
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)
```

## Building from source

**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
```
