Quick Guide

This quick guide assumes you've already installed the dependencies for mainline nxdk, covered here.

These examples are based on an in-development branch of nxdk containing the upcoming GPU middleware library, xgu.
Clone both this repository and said branch to the same directory. There should be 2 folders exactly next to eachother: nxdk and xbox-xgu-examples.

You can clone the in-dev branch like so: git clone --recurse-submodules -b xgu_submodule https://github.com/dracc/nxdk

IMPORTANT: Before compiling any examples, a tiny adjustment currently needs to be made to xgu.h and xgux.h (in nxdk/lib/xgu) to prevent linker errors.

• In xgu.h, append inline to the end of #define XGU_API, near the top of the file.
• In xgux.h, append inline to the end of #define XGUX_API, also near the top of the file.

^{This isn't a very desirable fix for the hardcore developer as it still produces a few warnings in files that use these headers, but it at least prevents the duplicate symbol errors that occur if not added.
There may be plans to migrate xgu functions from header files to source files in the future, which will remove the need for this workaround.}

Now cd to any example directory and run make.
