Move support libraries to dkp-pacman #4

Closed rhaleblian closed 5 years ago

Maybe poll the devkitPro forum to see if there's value in in the idea.

See https://devkitpro.org/wiki/devkitPro_pacman

Would be rather better if you were using latest tools and libraries rather than building old ones manually though. It's an utter pain in the neck when people turn up with frankenstein toolchains.

There have been requests for zlib at least for DS.

All the current PKGBUILDs are at https://github.com/devkitPro/pacman-packages

These additional packages should be built and released in lockstep with the present-day devkit* toolchains themselves.

I'm forced to build older releases for this project since i'm out of time investigating why the FAT code here, which appears rather boilerplate, stops working for newer releases. I frankly regret the time spent getting old tools built, but I was adamant about getting this product working somehow. Water under the bridge. Somebody might want to take a stab the problem.

That's academic, though, as the idea is for a broader audience than merely this project. Is there a project which builds ubiquitous packages like zlib for release alongside devkitPro?

BTW excellent work with the toolchain.

Reopened #1.

I've commented on the issue you re-opened. Hopefully the changes I made get you a little further along.

devkitPro is an organisation, not software. We have a whole bunch of "portlibs" packages we release for use with the tools via https://devkitpro.org/wiki/devkitPro_pacman. The repo I linked (https://github.com/devkitPro/pacman-packages) is where the PKGBUILD files for those packages are kept & we build & release those as libraries are added/updated.

Alright, let's pretend i said "devkitARM".

@rhaleblian now needs to remove the tool/ dir and point to dkp-pacman.
