−'''DevkitPro''' is the toolchain of choice for homebrew development. It is currently available for GameBoy Advance, GP32, Playstation Portable (PSP), GameCube, and Wii. Instructions for setting up the system are available for [[Getting_Started_with_devkitppc|Windows]], [[Getting_started_with_DevkitPPC_on_Mac_OS_X|Mac OSX]] and [[Getting_started_with_DevkitPPC_on_Linux|Linux]]. Additional information and download links can be found at the [http://www.devkitpro.org/ DevkitPro website].+==Contents==+DevkitPro consists of several parts, with the following being relevant to Gamecube/Wii development:
−===devkitPPC===+This is a port of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) and includes a C (gcc) and C++ compiler (g++), a debugger (gdb) and associated utilities, with the architecture "powerpc-gekko". It also includes standard C libraries based on [http://sourceware.org/newlib 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.

−*ARAM
−*AUDIO
−*EXI - Support routines for the system bus which connects many internal devices to the CPU
−*IRQ - Hardware Interrupts
−*DSP
−*DVD
−*GX
−*VIDEO
−*Cache
−*Memory Card
−*Console
−*Threads
−**Messages
−**Mutexes
−**Semaphores
−**Condition Variables
−Information on many of these sub-systems can be found in [[YAGCD]].
−It also incorporates the following libraries (which may be custom versions of external libraries):
−*libdb - routines to support remote debugging
−*[http://www.wiiuse.net wiiuse] - an API for the wiimote (also available on windows and linux)
−*libfat - routines for accessing FAT filesystems such as those on SD cards

−'''devkitPPC''' is a port of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) and includes a C (gcc) and C++ compiler (g++), a debugger (gdb) and associated utilities, with the architecture "powerpc-eabi". It also includes standard C libraries based on [http://sourceware.org/newlib 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 [https://devkitpro.org/wiki/Getting_Started 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 [http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MSYS MSYS] environment, which is a minimal set of GNU tools such as a shell.
