libronin is a software development library similar to KallistiOS. It was developed by Marcus Comstedt, Peter Bortas and Per Hedbor. It is used in DreamSNES, ScummVM, and Cave Story. It is primarily known for its use in projects by Marcus Comstedt and histat.

Release history

libronin's latest release was in 2016.[1]

  • Libronin 0.1 (2002-02-03)
  • Libronin 0.2 (2002-02-27)
  • Libronin 0.3 (2002-04-21)

Building a toolchain for libronin

The standard KallistiOS sh-elf toolchain contains patches that prevent it from working with libronin; however, KallistiOS's dc-chain script can be used to easily build a libronin-compatible raw toolchain. You can build this toolchain to a separate directory than an existing KallistiOS toolchain.

Create a directory to hold the toolchain and give yourself ownership: 

sudo mkdir -p /opt/toolchains/dc/roninchain
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /opt/toolchains/dc/roninchain

Clone the KallistiOS repo somewhere convenient: 

git clone https://github.com/KallistiOS/KallistiOS.git kos

Enter the toolchain directory: 

cd kos/util/dc-chain

Alter the Makefile.cfg options in a text editor if you'd like.

And finally, download and build the toolchain for libronin use with the following command: 

make all enable_objc=0 enable_objcpp=0 thread_model=single use_kos_patches=0 auto_fixup_sh4_newlib=0 sh_toolchain_path=/opt/toolchains/dc/roninchain/sh-elf arm_toolchain_path=/opt/toolchains/dc/roninchain/arm-eabi

You can now use the compilers stored at /opt/toolchains/dc/roninchain/sh-elf/bin and /opt/toolchains/dc/roninchain/arm-eabi/bin to compile libronin. You may need to modify Makefile and zlib/Makefile included with libronin to include the path to the compilers.

You may delete the kos folder that you cloned using git earlier once your toolchain is successfully installed.
