Due to multiple GPL violations MLlib has been removed from WiiBrew. Until such a time as it complies with the GPL it will not be allowed on WiiBrew. See the [[Talk:MLlib|discussion page]] for more information. --[[User:Tantric|Tantric]] 19:37, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

The '''MLlib''' (or Minishlink's Library) is a simple library to develop on Nintendo Wii. Technically, it's a wrapper of libogc and others librairies. Coding with this lib on Wii is way easier and faster now ! :-) I created this because I needed a library with I could code with easy functions. It uses [[GX]] for drawing, [[libpng]] for handling PNG, and libs of [[libogc]]...

==How to install ?==
−
===On Windows===
−
First you need to have '''devKitPro''' installed. Go [[Devkitppc setup (Windows)|install]] it ! ;)
−
−
Then, '''libpng''' for Wii must be installed.
−
# Download it at [http://louislagrange.free.fr/MLlib/downloads/libpng_wii.zip my FTP].
−
# Extract it and place the .a in "devkitpro\libogc\lib\wii" and the folder "png" in "devkitpro\libogc\include".
−
# It's done !
−
−
Now the '''MLlib'''.
−
# Download the MLlib on the [http://code.google.com/p/mllib/downloads/list Google Code MLlib page]
−
# Extract the archive and place the folder (recommended in C:\devkitPro)
−
# Examples, documentation and more are in the "MLlib_Others_XXXXXX.zip" package.
−
# Set the environment variable "MLPATH" to your path to the MLlib. (eg. "/c/devkitPro/MLlib" because it must be linux-style) To do that, open the Start menu, right-click on Computer -> Properties, then go to the advanced settings -> environments variables. Set it there. It's recommended to restart the computer.
−
# It should be done ! Go explore examples ! :D (test if it works via an example)
−
−
===On Linux===
−
−
First you need to have '''devKitPro''' installed. Go [[Devkitppc setup (Linux)|install]] it ! ;)
−
−
Then, '''libpng''' for Wii must be installed.
−
# Download it at [http://louislagrange.free.fr/MLlib/downloads/libpng_wii.zip my FTP].
−
# Extract it and place the .a in "devkitpro/libogc/lib/wii" and the folder "png" in "devkitpro/libogc/include".
−
# It's done !
−
−
Now the '''MLlib'''.
−
# Download the MLlib on the [http://code.google.com/p/mllib/downloads/list Google Code MLlib page]
−
# Extract the archive and place the folder where you want (recommended in /home/user/devkitpro)
−
# Examples, documentation and more are in the "MLlib_Others_XXXXXX.zip" package.
−
# Set the environment variable "MLPATH" to your path to the MLlib. (eg. "/home/username/devkitpro/MLlib") To do that, open and type in a new console:
−
export MLPATH=/path/to/MLlib
−
−
−
It should be done ! Go explore examples ! :D
−
(test if it works via an example)
−
−
===On Mac OS X===
−
−
You should be able to do it if you read Windows/Linux instructions.
−
Updated tutorial will coming soon though, with Mac OS X ;)
−
−
==Notes==
−
===Quickstart===
−
For a quickstart, see the section [[#How_to_install_.3F|How to install ?]] and go see the examples in the "MLlib_Others_XXXXXX.zip" package ! ;)
−
−
===Tutorials and Wiki===
−
Some tutorials and more info are available at the [http://louislagrange.free.fr/MLlib/wiki MLlib Wiki].
−
−
===Documentation===
−
Online documentation is available [http://louislagrange.free.fr/MLlib/documentation here]. Or in the "MLlib_Others_XXXXXX.zip" package.
−
−
==="MLlib_Others_XXXXXX.zip" package===
−
It can be downloaded on [http://code.google.com/p/mllib/downloads/list Google Code] !
−
−
===Error when compiling the template/examples ?===
−
To test correctly the examples and the template, make sure you have done a "make clean" before, because it will give you the error
−
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/home/minishlink/devkitpro/MLlib_Others/template/source/main.c', needed by `main.o'. Stop.
−
if you don't do this ! :p
−
−
===Makefile & Commands===
−
====Editing Makefile====
−
In order to use the MOD part of the MLlib, you need to uncomment the line "USE_MOD" at the top of the Makefile. It's the same thing when you need to compile code that uses MP3 or FAT.
−
−
====Make====
−
Compiles the project.
−
−
====Make clean====
−
Cleans the project, it destroys dependancies too.
−
−
====Make run====
−
It sends the app/game previously compiled to the Wii via the wiiload program. It's quiet useful because you don't need to type "wiiload projectXYZ.dol", "make run" is faster !
−
You have to put the original [[Wiiload]] program (eg. the command-line program, which is provided with Twilight Hack or HBC) in the system folder of your OS. Example : "C:\Windows\System32" for Windows ; "/usr/bin" for Linux ; "??? #FixIt" for MaxOSX.
−
−
Wiiload program can be downloaded [http://louislagrange.free.fr/downloads/wiiload.tar.gz here] or in the [[Hackmii Installer]] (beta 3 or newer).
−
−
====Make all====
−
It cleans the project, then compiles and then sends to the Wii.
−
