Building LÖVEPotion

LÖVEPotion has the following dependencies:

• devkitARM
• ctrulib
• portlibs (freetype, zlib, libogg, libvorbis, libpng and libjpeg-turbo)
• zlib (for freetype)
• A working GCC compiler (for freetype)
• sf2dlib, sftdlib and sfilib (included in the source)

Building on Windows

1. Download devkitPRO from here and run the automated installer.

2. Download ctrulib from here (always download the latest version by pressing on Download ZIP). Afterwards, put the content of the libctru folder from the compressed file on C:/devkitPRO/libctru. Then, open a command shell and run the following commands:

   cd C:\devkitPro\libctru

   make clean

   make

   make install

3. Download zlib from here, and put the file zlib1.dll on your folder system32.

4. Download MinGW and it's GCC compiler. Instructions here.

5. Make a folder for the portlibs, and uncompress the files from here inside it. Now, download the following files and put them in the same folder:

freetype

zlib

libogg

libvorbis

libpng

libjpeg-turbo

Open a command shell, use cd folder where folder should be obviously an URL to the folder where the Makefile and the portlibs are located, and then run the following commands:

make zlib
make install-zlib
make libogg
make install
make freetype
make libpng
make libjpeg-turbo
make libvorbis
make install

7. Use cd to the folder where you downloaded LÖVEPotion, and run make build-all

8. Done!
