It also includes standard C libraries based on newlib, which is specifically designed for embedded systems. Compilers and libraries are also included for the MN10200, the Matsushita (Panasonic) chip used in the Wii DVD controller. It is designed to be used in conjunction with libogc, a collection of Wii-specific low-level libraries.
Instructions for setting up the system are available at the devkitPro website.
devkitPPC also comes with example source code documents that can be used to base one's project off of. These include examples in audio, graphics, and adding a GUI to a homebrew app.
For Windows users it comes with the MSYS environment, which is a minimal set of GNU tools such as a shell.
