Compiling GBA programs on Linux with GCC

Compiling GBA programs on Linux with GCC

There is a strange lack of guides and tools online for compiling Gameboy Advance homebrew programs on Linux. I didn't want to use devkitpro - their installation method of requiring you to use a forked version of pacman is extemely strange and I didn't want to install all of that on my system just to complile some programs.

The only other guides I found for Linux were this one and this one which both involve compiling custom versions of GCC and assosicated libraries. This lead me down a road of pain, after spending multiple hours fixing compiler errors only to create new errors I gave up. I thought that their had to be a simpler way, and there is!

The solution

Debian already has a version of GCC that can compile ARM programs in the repos, no manual compiling necessary! The package is called arm-none-eabi-gcc.

Writing C software without the standard library
Linux Edition
###################################################################
There are many tutorials on the web that explain how to build a
simple hello world in C without the libc on AMD64, but most of them
stop there.
I will provide a more complete explanation that will allow you to
build yourself a little framework to write more complex programs.

Setting up RetroArch on a Raspberry Pi

Setting up RetroArch on a Raspberry Pi

I just put the finishing touches on my Raspberry Pi 3 emulation machine running RetroArch. I was not a huge fan of RetroPie due to the reliance on Emulation Station - more moving parts meant that there were more things that could potentially break. I just wanted something that would run raw RetroArch, no frills.

This tutorial is mostly recreated from memory and was most recently tested with a Raspberry Pi 3 running Raspbian Stretch and RetroArch 1.7.7. If there is a mistake or a broken link, PLEASE message me and I will fix it.

Step 1: Install Raspbian

I used Raspbian Stretch Lite from this page. Write the image to your SD card using something like Win32 Disk Imager, or if you're using OSX/Linux follow a tutorial on how to write the image using dd.
