Building on macOS
N.B. C++17 is required to build the asset processing program that we use (ZAPD), so check your OS version can support this before proceeding.
1. Dependencies
For macOS, use Homebrew to install the following dependencies:
- coreutils
- make
- python3
- libpng
- bash
- clang-format
You can install them with the following commands:
brew update
brew install coreutils make python3 libpng bash clang-format
(The repository expects Homebrew-installed programs to be either linked correctly in $PATH
etc. or in their default locations.)
To install the Python dependencies simply run in a terminal:
python3 -m pip install colorama
2. Building mips-linux-binutils
The following instructions are written for MacOS users but should apply to any Unix-like system, with maybe some modifications at the end regarding the bash_profile.
Create destination dir for binutils
sudo mkdir -p /opt/cross
Create and enter local working dir
mkdir ~/binutils-tmp
cd ~/binutils-tmp
Get and extract binutils source
wget https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.35.tar.bz2
tar xjf binutils-2.35.tar.bz2
(You may find this command does not work: if so, just access the URL in a browser and save it to ~/binutils-tmp
.)
Create and enter a build directory
mkdir build-binutils
cd build-binutils
Configure the build
../binutils-2.35/configure --target=mips-linux-gnu --prefix=/opt/cross --disable-gprof --disable-gdb --disable-werror
Make and install binutils
make -j
sudo make install
Edit your ~/.bash_profile
/~/.zsh_profile
(or whichever shell you use) to add the new binutils binaries to the system PATH
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/opt/cross/bin" >> ~/.bash_profile
Reload ~/.bash_profile
(or just launch a new terminal tab)
source ~/.bash_profile
If this worked, you can now delete the temporary directory ~/binutils-tmp
.
3. Final note
Apple's version of make
is very out-of-date, so you should use the brew-installed gmake
in place of make
in this repo from now on.
You should now be able to continue from step 2 of the Linux instructions.
