Title: How to start
Post by: sven on December 31, 2009, 05:21:34 AM

As someone with very little coding experience, is they're a good way to start directly in n64 coding? any good n64 homebrew scenes around maybe?

Some of that is getting kind of old now, but there's still some floating around.

Okay, here's my current toolchain for linux (32 bit, but should work with 64 bit as well):

That's gcc 4.1.2 for mips64 organized in the same manner I organize all my cross-platform toolchains. So I'll be using makefiles that are very similar to my MD/32X makefiles for this. The one thing not in the above is the LD file. I still need to do a little more work, but I should have the LD file, and an example of using the toolchain before the weekend is over.

Woah!!! That's really cool. I looked to the other n64dev project earlier and it was a bit frustrating  :( >:(.

Your devpack is very clean and everything is in proper place. I will try it tomorrow on my x64 linux machine.   ~sm-42.gif~

That's why I put together my own toolchains. I find the "standard" way of handling gcc to be a little silly. I can make it much more organized, and smaller to boot. It certainly makes the include paths shorter.

Hey Infrid , thanks for keeping these great documents alive  ~sm-43.gif~.
I've been studying them the last few days and seems like it wont take too long to write a patching module for the menu!

Yes, I recommend checking out the whole devkit. Lots of good info in it. That was one of my first stops after putting together my toolchain.
