DSWifi Library Goes On CVS
Remember Stephen Stair? You probably know him as SgStair, the guy who created a wiki to document a number of subjects he had worked on in the past and will work on in the future. Well, he’s back to tell us that work is progressing on the DS Wifi library. Though it’s not yet ready for a full release, Stephen has reorganized the library and added it as a module to the devkitpro sourceforge Concurrent Versions System (CVS) server.
CVS is a tool used by many software developers to manage changes within their source code tree. It stores not only the current version of a piece of source code, but a record of all changes (and who made those changes) that have occurred to that source code. Use of CVS is particularly common on projects with multiple developers, since CVS ensures changes made by one developer are not accidentally removed when another developer posts their changes to the source tree.
As some of you know, only a select few will be allowed to edit main pages but anyone is free to modify the discussion pages and provide feedback. For those who are sufficiently capable, this option will put you at the cutting edge of DS Wifi library development.
Stephen invites the chosen few: Feel free to download and compile the libraries, itÂ’s an utterly painless process if you can get CVS to cooperate, the new build system dumps 4 output files (libdswifi7.a, libdswifi9.a, libdswifi7d.a, and libdswifi9.a – arm7 and arm9 release and debug versions respectively) into [root]/lib, and the include files you need are in [root]/include. The old lib used “libdswifi7r.a” and “libdswifi9r.a” for the release versions – the ‘rÂ’ has been dropped for the new version.
