[RESOLVED] GRRLIB Help

Hi

I recently asked how to do a few basic things in homebrew coding. I was told to check out a few things, including GRRLIB. So, I did, and my god am I stumped. I do NOT know how to install it and get it running with
Programmers Notepad. The README to it was no help.

So, I have come here to search for answers. I keep getting anoyyed after countless searches on google, and am even beggining to resort to Wii Game Studio- and no offence to fat quak but that is very unstable.

ANY help would be great
-Tom

um, if you follow the README... that's all you need.

I'm assuming you have devkit pro installed with no problems?
if that is the case all you have to do is follow the GRRLIB readme... it's pretty darn simple.

download grrlib 4.2.0.zip
extract
follow readme:

*1 The version of libjpeg supplied with GRRLIB v4.2.0 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 dependencies work, the libraries must be installed in reverse
order.

libz comes preinstalled with devkitPro, so we can move directly to libpng...

To install libpng *2
  c:
  cd \grr\trunk\GRRLIB\lib\png
  make install

Next up the list is libpngu *2
  c:
  cd \grr\trunk\GRRLIB\lib\pngu
  make clean all install

Next up the list is libjpeg *2 *3
  c:
  cd \grr\trunk\GRRLIB\lib\jpeg
  make install

*2 A Windows batch-file and a Linux shell-script are included which will
   install the libpng, libpngu and libjpeg libraries in a single command:
     c:
     cd \grr\trunk\GRRLIB\lib
     install     <- If you are using Linux, type `./install.sh` instead

*3 The version of libjpeg supplied with GRRLIB v4.2.0 contains bug fixes not
   available in the official release.

After all three image processing libraries are installed, we can now install
libgrrlib:
  c:
  cd \grr\trunk\GRRLIB\GRRLIB
  make clean all install

what part are you having problems with... i would be happy to help.

I don't understand what

To install libpng *2
  c:
  cd \grr\trunk\GRRLIB\lib\png
  make install

means!

If you don't understand just do this if you are on windows:

Quote

*2 A Windows batch-file and a Linux shell-script are included which will
install the libpng, libpngu and libjpeg libraries in a single command:
c:
cd \grr\trunk\GRRLIB\lib
install

If you don't understand that, it just says to double click on install

assuming you are a windows user...

go to start --> run

type in cmd and hit enter

a command prompt window will show up
go to the directory you just unzipped

c:\blah blah blah blah\desktop\grrlib 4.2.0\grrlib\grrlib\lib\png

then type:

make install

and hit enter.

let me know if that makes sense / works. I'd be happy to help more.
