And old makefiles now does not work because you are changed PORTLIBS value... :(
From:
/opt/devkitpro/portlibs/ppc
to:
/opt/devkitpro/portlibs/wii /opt/devkitpro/portlibs/ppc

Code: Select all

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# build a list of include paths
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
export INCLUDE	:=	$(foreach dir,$(INCLUDES), -iquote $(CURDIR)/$(dir)) \
					$(foreach dir,$(LIBDIRS),-I$(dir)/include) \
					-I$(CURDIR)/include \
					-I$(PORTLIBS)/include \
					-I$(LIBOGC_INC)

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# build a list of library paths
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
export LIBPATHS	:=	$(foreach dir,$(LIBDIRS),-L$(dir)/lib) \
					-L$(PORTLIBS)/lib -L$(LIBOGC_LIB)

This is the modified version of previous Makefile

Code: Select all

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# build a list of include paths
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

					$(foreach dir,$(LIBDIRS),-I$(dir)/include) \
					-I$(CURDIR)/include \
					$(foreach dir,$(PORTLIBS),-I$(dir)/include) \
					-I$(LIBOGC_INC)

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# build a list of library paths
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
export LIBPATHS	:=	$(foreach dir,$(LIBDIRS),-L$(dir)/lib) \
					$(foreach dir,$(PORTLIBS),-L$(dir)/lib) \

Where did you get that from? That's not how you're supposed to use PORTLIBS.

https://github.com/devkitPro/wii-exampl ... kefile#L42

Code: Select all

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# list of directories containing libraries, this must be the top level containing
# include and lib
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LIBDIRS	:= $(PORTLIBS)

:oops:
I will change all my Makefile...

Question:
/opt/devkitpro/portlibs/wii
is a new directory for users libs and include?

No. There should be nothing installed inside the devkitpro folder that hasn't been released by devkitPro.

Really?
But where I can put libraries like libwiisprite, libml, libgrr and other libraries like these?
Why not in /opt/devkitpro/userlibs or similar?

Having libraries inside the devkitpro folder implies that they're endorsed and/or recommended by us which, unless they're provided by our pacman, they're not.

We don't want to endorse libraries that do crazy things like use the GPU to plot pixels in order to draw text. We don't want to endorse libraries that use individual png files converted at runtime for each graphic used. These are just incredibly bad ways to manage resources and we'd like to discourage these practices.
