devkitPro provided tools and libraries are managed by the rather wonderful Arch Linux pacman. We provide our own binaries as .pkg for OSX and .deb for debian based linux distributions. On Fedora you can obtain pacman using the command sudo dnf install pacman and edit the pacman configuration files as you would for Arch based linux distros , and pre-existing msys2 installs. We also provide an installer for windows which sets up a customised msys2 install already set up with the devkitPro packages.
For Gentoo emerge sys-apps/pacman then edit /etc/pacman.conf and set RootDir = /. Run pacman-key --init then follow the instructions below.
The .deb package can also be used on WSL but you may need to make a symlink for /etc/mtab. See https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/150
sudo ln -s /proc/self/mounts /etc/mtab
On Debian based systems Install the .deb with
sudo dpkg -i devkitpro-pacman.deb
On macOS run the .pkg installer from Terminal with
sudo installer devkitpro-pacman.pkg -target /
Then install the Xcode command line tools if you haven't already
xcode-select --install
And finally create ~/.bash_profile or edit it if you have one already to add env vars as follows
export DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitpro export DEVKITARM=${DEVKITPRO}/devkitARM export DEVKITPPC=${DEVKITPRO}/devkitPPC export PATH=${DEVKITPRO}/tools/bin:$PATH
Customising Existing Pacman Install
Note: These instructions are for systems which come with pacman already installed i.e. Arch or Msys2. Do Not follow these instructions if you have dkp-pacman
For users already using a distro which provides pacman please follow these instructions. This also applies to Fedora and Gentoo below as well as users who wish to use an existing msys2 install. If you're using a pre-existing msys2 install or OSX then please also set environment variables as follows :-
DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitpro DEVKITARM=/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM DEVKITPPC=/opt/devkitpro/devkitPPC
First import the key which is used to validate the packages
sudo pacman-key --recv F7FD5492264BB9D0 sudo pacman-key --lsign F7FD5492264BB9D0
Then Install the keyring which adds more keys used to verify the packages.
sudo pacman -U https://downloads.devkitpro.org/devkitpro-keyring-r1.787e015-2-any.pkg.tar.xz
Add the devkitPro repositories. Please note that you will require two - one for the libraries and another for the host specific tools.
edit /etc/pacman.conf & add these lines
[dkp-libs] Server = https://downloads.devkitpro.org/packages
for linux systems also add
[dkp-linux] Server = https://downloads.devkitpro.org/packages/linux
for existing 64 bit msys2 systems (you installed msys2-x86_64 package) use this one instead of dkp-linux above.
[dkp-windows] Server = https://downloads.devkitpro.org/packages/windows
for existing 32 bit msys2 systems (you installed msys2-i686 package) use this one instead:
[dkp-win32] Server = https://downloads.devkitpro.org/packages/windows
Now resync the database and update installed packages.
sudo pacman -Syu
Using Pacman
The customised pacman we ship for OSX and debian based distros is entirely self-contained within /opt/devkitpro/pacman. To avoid polluting the system and avoid clashes with system tools or games which may share the same name as pacman binaries we install helper scripts in /usr/local/bin which temporarily set path and forward to the custom binaries. This means you substitute dkp-pacman for pacman on those systems. Do not add /opt/devkitpro/pacman/bin to your system path, this will cause issues.
Updating Databases
To resync the databases before obtaining updates, this command is similar to apt-get update
sudo (dkp-)pacman -Sy
To update installed packages, this command is similar to apt-get upgrade
sudo (dkp-)pacman -Syu
Installing packages
You can list all available packages with
(dkp)-pacman -Sl
To show only the libraries supplied by devkitPro append dkp-libs
(dkp-)pacman -Sl dkp-libs
You can search for packages using
(dkp-)pacman -Ss <search string>
Predefined Groups
We provide several convenient groups which may be installed using sudo (dkp-)pacman -S <group name>
- gp32-dev - gba-dev - nds-dev - 3ds-dev - gamecube-dev - wii-dev - wiiu-dev - switch-dev
To list packages use `dkp-pacman -Sl` To install a package use `sudo dkp-pacman -S <name of package>` `sudo dkp-pacman -R <name of package>` will remove an already installed package.
