i am glad the problem has been found and solved.
i must admit i gave up on searching.
also pista’s idea is of copying and renaming sounds more logical then the solution that was offered by a member on the first page (download a complete different set of tools and copy one file).

nice work people.

Well, i find it interesting that your devkit installation is different from the original.
That is why wintermute suspects yours was faulted.
And i read other posts of you on devkit.org, with some problems you discribed there, it looks like you keep running into problems.
I wonder why.
Did you ever compile anything without errors?

On 3 different computers i did the following:
1. Started from scratch with wiimc, but same thing all over again.
2. I started from scratch with sneek source which was without any problems.

So this strange problem cannot be on my side, there must be something wrong with the code.
And since i am the first to report this here, i doubt that anyone else succeeded.
As a matter a fact, i am the only one who replied here!!!
If (many) others succeeded, there would be at least a few thank you posts, or not?

Just for the fun of it, try your guide again yourself from the beginning, on a PC that never did any compiling stuf.
Remember, everyone who starts from scratch with devkitpro install, do not have the corrections you did on your pc.

Please read the devkit forum, he also provided a solution which i didn’t try yet.

the problem was not my installation, but yours 😮
In my attempt to mimic your installs, i screwed up mine, so i have to start from scratch again.
But i’ll save that for a rainy day.

    PATH=$DEVKITPPC/bin:$PATH

CPPFLAGS="-mrvl -I$DEVKITPRO/portlibs/ppc/include" LDFLAGS=="-mrvl -L$DEVKITPRO/portlibs/ppc/lib"./configure --host=powerpc-eabi  --disable-shared

hmmm, i placed the question there

I also looked at the config log.
Strange thing is for example PATH: /mingw/bin (there is no such dir anywhere)
msys batch is mingw, so i thought, change the name msys into mingw :P, but that did’nt change anything.

btw, could it be that no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH means no c compiler in /fribidi? and not in devkitpro?

thanks for the info jhb50.
that was very helpfull.
I must admit i also installed devkitarm, because that was needed for sneek.
But since they are independend compilers they should not interfere i think.
Now i’ve compared the 2 devkitpro installer links, and they are from the exact same site :P.

I checked the install files, and i have exactly the same, even the byte size matches in all of them.
Then i checked the ar.exe files in the folders you said.

Strange thing is, i do not have ar.exe files in
c:DevkitProdevkitPPCpowerpc-eabi
c:DevkitProdevkitPPCmn10200
and do not have
C:devkitProdevkitPPCpowerpc-eabi-ar.exe
C:devkitProdevkitPPCmn10200-ar.exe

On my laptop they are in
c:DevkitProdevkitPPCpowerpc-eabibin
c:DevkitProdevkitPPCmn10200bin

and in
C:devkitProdevkitPPCbinpowerpc-eabi-ar.exe
C:devkitProdevkitPPCbinmn10200-ar.exe

So i will do the following:
Copy those files in the wright directories and try again.

nope, still the same.
Don’t know if this is normal, but every time i get a warning:
configure: warning: if you wanted to set the –build type, don’t use –host
So i tried : –build=powerpc-eabi, but in the end no difference (but no warning anymore).

I think i’m giving up, its not that i need it that bad, i just like to experiment and its fullfilling if something works and you can help others with it.
But first things first, there is more important work to do with sneek.
maybe i’ll give it another go some other time.

Thank you for the geat help so far.

edit:
i kept thinking and had 1 more question:
what .net framework versions do you have installed?
Maybe there is my problem?
I’ve got, framework 1.1, 2.0sp2, 3.0sp2, 3.5sp1, 4 client profile and 4 extended.

Uninstalled devkitpro and reinstalled only with devkitppc.
all the .exe files were in the same folders again, so to be sure, i copied them again to the designated folders.
unfortunally still the same errors.

[geegee]

strangest thing.

i tried it on my laptop this time, same thing.
I compiled sneek on the laptop as well, got error missing msvcr100.dll, fixed that, sneek compilingl worked perfectly after that.
sad to say, wiimc is still the same.
The only difference between the 2 is that my laptop has .net framework 4 beta2, and the PC has the normal one.

edit: okay, tried copied ar.exe in msys/bin, same error.
Then in devkitpro/devkitppc/bin because that is the path.
no acceptable c compiler found in $PATH.
So what is an accaptable c compiler? and did i put it in the right place?

I searched around and found ar.exe in powerpc-eabi-bin, wich could make sence because it refers to it with –host.
and there stil is the error in ‘/c/wiimc/libs/fribidi’
so there is something going wrong with the source download as well.
I used svn check with tortoise which worked with sneek.

Anyone more idea’s or answers to the above question?

Mr. jhb50.

This morning i started with your excellent compile guide and ran into a few issues.

In MSys i’m stuck now, i started 3x from the start to be sure i did everything correct.

cd liba52/
./configure –host=powerpc-eabi –prefix=”${DEVKITPRO}/portlibs/ppc” –libdir=”${DEVKITPRO}/portlibs/ppc/lib” –disable-shared

Administrator@BAREBONE /c/wiimc/libs/liba52
$ make

Then it goes back to Administrator@BAREBONE /c/wiimc/libs/liba52
What can i do to fix this?
