# Vagrant The simplest way to get pokecrystal to compile is to use Vagrant and VirtualBox. Follow these steps: * [Download and install Vagrant](http://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html) * Follow the instructions to [download and install VirtualBox](http://docs-v1.vagrantup.com/v1/docs/getting-started/) * Run these commands: ``` vagrant box add pokecrystal http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/irc/pokecrystal/pokecrystal.box mkdir vagrantbox cd vagrantbox vagrant init pokecrystal vagrant up vagrant ssh -c "cd /vagrant && git clone git://github.com/vagrant/pokecrystal.git" vagrant ssh -c "cd /vagrant/pokecrystal && git submodule init && git submodule update" vagrant ssh ``` Running "vagrant ssh" will give you a shell to type commands into for compiling the source code. The the "virtualbox" directory on the host appears as a shared folder inside of the guest virtual machine at "/vagrant". To build the project, run these commands in the guest (that is, inside "vagrant ssh"): cd /vagrant/pokecrystal make To make the build work you will need to copy baserom.gbc into the "pokecrystal" directory inside the "virtualbox" directory on the host machine. Eventually this will not be required. # Linux Dependencies: sudo apt-get install make gcc bison git python python-setuptools sudo easy_install pip The assembler used is [**rgbds**](https://github.com/bentley/rgbds). git clone git://github.com/bentley/rgbds.git cd rgbds sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/man/man{1,7} sudo make install cd .. Set up the repository. git clone git://github.com/kanzure/pokecrystal.git cd pokecrystal git submodule init git submodule update sudo pip install -r extras/requirements.txt - Copy your Pokémon Crystal rom to the directory. Name it **baserom.gbc**. To build **pokecrystal.gbc**: make This should take about 30 seconds. Subsequent builds are much faster (2-10 seconds). # OS X Download and install **Command Line Tools for Xcode**. Then follow the Linux instructions. If you have Xcode already, you can get Command Line Tools with: xcode-select --install # Windows It's recommended that you use a virtual machine running Linux or OS X. If you insist on Windows, use [**Cygwin**](http://cygwin.com/install.html) (32-bit). Dependencies are downloaded in the installer rather than the command line. Select the following packages: * make * git * python * python-setuptools * gcc * libsasl2 * ca-certificates To install rgbds, extract the contents of **http://iimarck.us/etc/rgbds.zip** and put them in `C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin`. Then set up the repository. In the **Cygwin terminal**: git clone git://github.com/kanzure/pokecrystal.git cd pokecrystal git submodule init git submodule update easy_install pip pip install -r extras/requirements.txt - Copy your Pokémon Crystal rom to the directory. Name it **baserom.gbc**. To build: make
