Introduction
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GRRLIB is a C/C++ 2D Graphics library for Wii application developers. It is
|
||
|
|
essentially a wrapper which presents a friendly interface to the Nintendo GX
|
||
|
|
core.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As of v4.10., GRRLIB is supplied as a standard C/C++ library (aka. archive)
|
||
|
|
called 'libgrrlib'. Because GRRLIB processes JPEG and PNG images, it requires
|
||
|
|
the installation of the 'libjpeg' and 'libpngu' libraries. 'libpngu', in turn,
|
||
|
|
requires 'libpng' and 'libpng' requires 'libz'.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
libgrrlib <- 2D graphics library
|
||
|
|
+-- libjpeg <- JPEG image processor
|
||
|
|
+-- libpngu <- Wii wrapper for libpng
|
||
|
|
+-- libpng <- PNG image processor
|
||
|
|
+-- libz <- Zip (lossless) compsression (for PNG compression)
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Developing for the Wii
|
||
|
|
----------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Do not progress until you have installed and configured devkitPro. Guides are
|
||
|
|
and assistance are available at http://forums.devkitpro.org
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have just performed a clean (re)install on your Windows PC, be sure to
|
||
|
|
reboot before you continue.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Downloading GRRLIB
|
||
|
|
------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You are advised to use "the latest SVN trunk version" of GRRLIB at all times.
|
||
|
|
There is a simple guide to "Using SVN" here:
|
||
|
|
http://grrlib.santo.fr/forum/viewtopic.php?id=182
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This document will presume that you have downloaded "the latest SVN trunk
|
||
|
|
version" to a directory called C:\grr\trunk
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Installing GRRLIB
|
||
|
|
-----------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This guide is for Windows. If you are using Linux, I am going to presume you
|
||
|
|
are smart enough to convert these instructions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GRRLIB is supplied as source code.
|
||
|
|
libjpeg is supplied as a precompiled library.*
|
||
|
|
libpngu is supplied as source code
|
||
|
|
libpng is supplied as a precompiled library
|
||
|
|
libz is supplied with devkitpro (Ie. preinstalled)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*The version of libjpeg supplied with GRRLIB v4.1.0 contains bug fixes not
|
||
|
|
available in the official release. If you can track down the original author,
|
||
|
|
please tell him about these fixes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Because of the way dependancies work, the libraries must be installed in reverse
|
||
|
|
order.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
libz comes preinstalled with devkitPro, so we can move directly to libpng...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To install libpng
|
||
|
|
c:
|
||
|
|
cd \grr\trunk\GRRLIB\lib\png
|
||
|
|
make install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Next up the list is libpngu
|
||
|
|
c:
|
||
|
|
cd \grr\trunk\GRRLIB\lib\pngu
|
||
|
|
make clean
|
||
|
|
make all
|
||
|
|
make install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Next up the list is libjpeg*
|
||
|
|
c:
|
||
|
|
cd \grr\trunk\GRRLIB\lib\jpeg
|
||
|
|
make install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*The version of libjpeg supplied with GRRLIB v4.1.0 contains bug fixes not
|
||
|
|
available in the official release.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Finally, we can now install libgrrlib
|
||
|
|
c:
|
||
|
|
cd \grr\trunk\GRRLIB\GRRLIB
|
||
|
|
make clean
|
||
|
|
make all
|
||
|
|
make install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using GRRLIB
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After everything is installed, simply put
|
||
|
|
#include <grrlib.h>
|
||
|
|
at the top of your .c file and use the functions as required
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You will also need to add
|
||
|
|
-lgrrlib -ljpeg -lpngu -lpng -lz
|
||
|
|
to the libs line in your makefile
|
||
|
|
...Remember the order of the libraries is critical. You may (need to) insert
|
||
|
|
other libraries in the middle of the list, you may need to add others to the
|
||
|
|
start, or even the end - but do _not_ change the order of the libraries shown
|
||
|
|
here.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You do NOT need to placce /anything/ in your application directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you would like to see a working example of this, you can look at the example
|
||
|
|
found in: C:\grr\trunk\examples\bluechip\composition
|
||
|
|
...This example also includes a "Makefile" which tries to make it clear what is
|
||
|
|
happening (unlike the more comprehensive cross-platform Makefile supplied with
|
||
|
|
the devkitPro template application).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Error: guVector redefined
|
||
|
|
-------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you get this error, you are probably using a version of libogc more recent
|
||
|
|
than the released v1.7.1a.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the libogc SVN revision 3650 Vector was renamed to guVector "to avoid
|
||
|
|
collisions" ...also Quaternion was renamed to guQuaternion - but GRRLIB does
|
||
|
|
not use these!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The main codebase of GRRLIB has been updated to reflect this change.
|
||
|
|
But until the new libogc is officially released, if you are using a version of
|
||
|
|
libogc later than v1.7.1a/svn3649, you will need to add:
|
||
|
|
-DNOGUFIX
|
||
|
|
to the compiler flags (CFLAGS) in your makefile
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When the libogc changes are officially released, this *temporary fix* should be
|
||
|
|
removed [see grrlib.h, line 50ish]
|
||
|
|
The requirement for -DNOGUFIX will be deprecated, but its lingering presence
|
||
|
|
will not be a hinderance
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Thanks to Nicksasa for reporting this problem

|
|
the credits of your game/application. And, if you choose to do that, we
