Platform-Specific Dependencies

​
Wii Platform

For building on Wii, you need:
  • devkitPro toolchain - Wii/GameCube development environment
  • wii-dev - Wii development libraries
  • ppc-zlib - zlib compression library for PowerPC
Install using devkitPro’s package manager: 
dkp-pacman -S wii-dev ppc-zlib

​
PC/Linux Platform

For building on PC, install these system libraries:
  • zlib - Compression library
  • glfw3 - OpenGL framework (version 3.3 or higher)
  • glew - OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library
  • OpenGL 2.0 - Graphics API support
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev libglfw3-dev libglew-dev

​
Directory Structure

After setting up all dependencies, your source directory should look like this: 
source/
├── cglm/
│   └── (cglm header files)
├── cNBT/
│   ├── buffer.c
│   ├── buffer.h
│   ├── list.h
│   ├── nbt.h
│   └── ...
├── lodepng/
│   ├── lodepng.c
│   └── lodepng.h
├── parson/
│   ├── parson.c
│   └── parson.h
└── (fCavEX source files)
Ensure all dependencies are properly installed before proceeding to build for your target platform.
