n64sdk-pkgbuilds

This repo contains various PKGBUILDs for CrashOveride95's Modern N64 SDK for use on Arch-based Linux distributions.

Setup

It is highly recommended that you check the main Getting Started guide as it contains some things that are essential to getting this working, e.g. setting up paths and variables.

A pacman repository containing these packages is available. To use it, add my PGP key first:

# pacman-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 7D497397CC3A2A8C
# pacman-key --lsign-key 7D497397CC3A2A8C

Then add the repo to your /etc/pacman.conf:

[n64sdk]
Server = https://repo.projectlounge.pw/pacman/n64sdk/

And finally, update your package database:

# pacman -Sy

For most of these packages, you should be able to build them using makepkg and/or the provided build scripts. However, the archive-pkgs directory requires that you run build-archive.sh.

Differences

Due to the packaging systems, practices, and philosophies differing between Debian and Arch, there are some differences between the original Modern N64 SDK and this repo:

• The makemask, mips-n64-binutils, mips-n64-newlib, mips-n64-gcc, n64graphics, qemu-irix, spicy, vadpcm-tools, and libcart packages are all rebuilt from source
• The unfloader package is based on version 2.2 instead of 2.1, due to 2.2 using libftdi (which is packaged in the official Arch repos)
• libstdc++296 is used instead of libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2
• The spicy package uses my own branch that simply specifies the needed build dependencies
