Prerequisites

Linux macOS Windows 10 (build 18917+) Windows 10 (1709+) Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 (1507, 1511, 1607, 1703)
none Xcode Command Line Tools package Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 Windows Subsystem for Linux Cygwin

The prerelease version of the Linux subsystem available in the 1607 and 1703 releases of Windows 10 is obsolete so consider uninstalling it.

Make sure that the build-essential, git, and libpng-dev packages are installed. The build-essential package includes the make, gcc-core, and g++ packages so they do not have to be obtained separately.

In the case of Cygwin, include the make, git, gcc-core, gcc-g++, and libpng-devel packages.

Installation

To set up the repository:

git clone https://github.com/pret/pokefirered
git clone https://github.com/luckytyphlosion/agbcc -b new_layout_with_libs

cd ./agbcc
make
make install prefix=../pokefirered
make install-sdk prefix=../pokefirered

cd ../pokefirered

To build pokefirered.gba:

make -j$(nproc)

To confirm it matches the official ROM image while building, do this instead:

make compare -j$(nproc)

If only .c or .s files were changed, turn off the dependency scanning temporarily. Changes to any other files will be ignored and the build will either fail or not reflect those changes.

make -j$(nproc) NODEP=1

Note: If the build command is not recognized on Linux, including the Linux environment used within Windows, run nproc and replace $(nproc) with the returned value (e.g.: make -j4). Because nproc is not available on macOS, the alternative is sysctl -n hw.ncpu.
