Cross-platform Sega Mega Drive / Super 32X / Sharp X68000 toolchain.
English | 日本語
Install the following packages, depending on your operating system:
- Debian:
apt install build-essential texinfo wget - RedHat:
yum install gcc gcc-c++ texinfo-tex wget - Arch:
pacman -S base-devel texinfo wget - Gentoo:
emerge sys-apps/texinfo net-misc/wget - macOS:
xcode-select --install && brew install wget
Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/andwn/marsdevcd marsdev
NOTE
There are two variables that control which directory Marsdev is built and installed:
MARS_BUILD_DIR= (REPOSITORY_ROOT)/marsMARS_INSTALL_DIR= /opt/toolchains/mars
If you wish to change the location of either, use an export command like this:
export MARS_INSTALL_DIR=/path/to/mars
You have 2 options for building GCC:
make m68k-toolchain- Without Newlibmake m68k-toolchain-newlib- With Newlib
For 32X, the sh toolchain must also be built.
The options are the same, swapping out m68k in the commands above with sh.
SGDK requires Java, so Install it.
- Debian:
apt install openjdk-11-jre - RedHat:
yum install java-11-openjdk - Arch:
pacman -S jdk11-openjdk - Gentoo:
emerge dev-java/openjdk - macOS:
brew install java
Note for macOS
OpenJDK needs to be added to the PATH.
- Open
~/.zshrc(or~/.bashrcif you still use bash) and add the line:export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openjdk/bin:$PATH"
- Restart the terminal or run
source ~/.zshrc
Build SGDK:
make sgdk
A specific version of SGDK can be specified with SGDK_VER=<git tag>,
but I cannot guarantee versions other than the default to work.
Adventurous people who want to test the latest changes can specify SGDK_VER=master too.
The following targets are also available:
make x68k-tools- Sharp X68000 compatibilitymake sik-tools- Contains mdtiler and some Echo stuff (req. libpng)make flamewing-tools- Compression tools for data in Sonic games (req. boost)
Just run sudo make install. Remember the path to the environment setup script,
and consider adding it to your ~/.bashrc (or ~/.zshrc).
The examples directory contains various skeleton/example projects to base others on.
For more information on each read examples/README.md.
Should be as easy as a make for any of them.
Not easily. You'll need to mess with the Makefile to get it working. Start by comparing your current Makefile to one of the example projects. The Migration document may be helpful here.
It should be possible to compile your project as-is with an official SGDK release.
The included Makefile is just a wrapper for make -f $GDK/makefile.gen.
If the issue persists, it's SGDK's fault. If the issue is fixed, it's Marsdev's fault.
There are so many of these, and they all have different places you have to go to configure paths. In general the only thing you should NEED to do, is point it to the headers.
- GCC Headers:
$(MARSDEV)/m68k-elf/lib/gcc/m68k-elf/$(GCC_VER)/include - SGDK Headers:
$(MARSDEV)/m68k-elf/include - Newlib Headers:
$(MARSDEV)/m68k-elf/m68k-elf/include
If your IDE lets you configure what the build/run buttons do, just have it run something like this.
- Build:
make MARSDEV=/path/to/mars - Run:
/path/to/an/emulator out.bin
I highly recommend using WSL and follow the instructions for Debian. You could also try using the Dockerfile, although that is contributed by others and I don't test it myself. I used to use MSYS2, but how slow and clunky it is can not be overstated.
An addendum, if you are just here to use SGDK and don't use Linux or macOS then I think Marsdev will be of little benefit to you anyway.
That's easy.
export MARS_BUILD_DIR=${HOME}/mars- Do steps 1 - 4 normally
- Skip the installation step, instead add to your
~/.bashrc:
export MARSDEV=${HOME}/mars
export GDK=${MARSDEV}/m68k-elf
GCC is a big boy, so we just have to be patient.
- Finish porting the important parts of libdos and getting Newlib to work with it
