gcw0-sdl2-cmake-sample

A bootstrap SDL2 project for the gcw0 using cmake

This bootstrap project is inspired from the Solarus Engine repository: https://github.com/christopho/solarus
I use the exact same structure for cmake + some bash scripts to automate the build

Compilation steps

1. Project naming

Write your project name in the following locations

1. CMakeLists.txt: line 2, replace PROJECT by your project name
2. cmake/gcw-zero/opk-data/default.gcw0.desktop: line 2 and 5, replace Project by your project name (Exec is the executable name, lowercase)
3. Replace cmake/gcw-zero/opk-data/image.png with your game logo

2. GCW Build and auto upload to your handheld

1. Make sure your GCW0 is accessible from your computer (with a ping or something)
2. Run ./build-gcw.sh PROJECT_NAME GCW0_IP (sample: ./build-gcw.sh ikaruga 192.168.1.12)
3. Launch the application on the GCW0 You can find the generated opk into the build_gcw0 folder

Manual compilation

You can find the various build steps for the gcw0 (from cmake to generating opk) in the build-gcw.sh file.

If you just want to compile the binary and not package the game, run

  cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=cmake/gcw-zero/gcw-zero.cmake .
  make
