Setting up WSL1 (Legacy Portion)

  1. Certain packages are required to build pokefirered. Install these packages by running the following command:

    sudo apt install build-essential git libpng-dev gdebi-core

    Note: If the above command does not work, try the above command but replacing apt with apt-get.

  2. Once the packages have finished installing, download the devkitPro pacman package here. The file to download is devkitpro-pacman.amd64.deb.

  3. WSL has its own file system that's not accessible from Windows, but Windows files are accessible from WSL. To install the devkitPro package, you'll need to change to the current working directory where the package file was saved.

    For example, if the package file was saved to C:\Users\<user>\Downloads (the Downloads location for most users), enter this command, where <user> is your Windows username:

    cd /mnt/c/Users/<user>/Downloads

    Note 1: The Windows C:\ drive is called /mnt/c/ in WSL.
    Note 2: If the path has spaces, then the path must be wrapped with quotations, e.g. cd "/mnt/c/users/<user>/Downloads folder".
    Note 3: Windows path names are case-insensitive so adhering to capitalization isn't needed

  4. Once the directory has been changed to the folder containing the devkitPro pacman package, run the following commands to install devkitARM.

    sudo gdebi devkitpro-pacman.amd64.deb
sudo dkp-pacman -Sy
sudo dkp-pacman -S gba-dev

    The last command will ask for the selection of packages to install. Just press Enter to install all of them, followed by entering Y to proceed with the installation.

    Note: devkitpro-pacman.amd64.deb is the expected filename of the devkitPro package downloaded (for the first command). If the downloaded package filename differs, then use that filename instead.

  5. Run the following command to set devkitPro related environment variables (alternatively, close and re-open WSL):

    source /etc/profile.d/devkit-env.sh

Proceed to Choosing where to store pokefirered (WSL1) of the current INSTALL.md.
