pokecrystal/INSTALL.md

The source files are assembled into a rom using rgbds. These instructions explain how to set up the tools required to build.

If you run into trouble, ask on irc (freenode#pret).

To build on Windows, install Cygwin with the default settings.

In the installer, select the following packages: make git gettext gcc-core

Then get rgbds 0.2.5. Versions 0.3.0 and later are not compatible. Extract the archive and put all the exe and dll files individually in C:\cygwin64\usr\local\bin.

In the Cygwin terminal:

git clone https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal
cd pokecrystal
make tools CC=gcc

To build pokecrystal.gbc:
