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.

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
Copy over one of the default configuration files:
cp config.mk.sample.testing config.mk
Open config.mk in a text editor and edit the following lines.
toolchains_base=/opt/toolchains/dc/roninchain # Where you want to install the toolchain pass2_languages=c,c++,objc,obj-c++ # Which languages you want to build support for thread_model=single # support only for single threads use_kos_patches=0 # Set this 0 to ensure raw toolchain with no patches auto_fixup_sh4_newlib=0 # Set this 0 to skip copying KOS Newlib headers into toolchain
Download the packages:
./download.sh
Unpack the files:
./unpack.sh
And finally, build the toolchain.
make
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 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.
