* Install [http://devkitpro.org/ ~~devkitPro~~]. If it's already installed, ~~give it an~~ update, it ~~can't hurt~~. On Windows there's a GUI installer. On Linux/Mac there's a perl-script.

* Install [http://devkitpro.org/ devkitARM]. If it's already installed, update it. On Windows there's a GUI installer. On Linux/Mac there's a perl-script. Make sure you also select ctrulib when installing.

* ~~Install~~ the ~~[http://mtheall.com/~fincs/3dsdkA/ 3dsxtools] on top of devkitPro according to~~ the ~~website.~~

* Download the files in the [https://github.com/smealum/ctrulib/archive/master.zip ctrulib repository] (even though the library has already been installed) because the repository contains a 3DS project template and examples.

* On Linux/Mac cd into your devkitPro folder and execute:

~~git clone https://github.com/smealum/ctrulib~~

* If you're on Windows you can download ctrulib as a [https://github.com/smealum/ctrulib/archive/master.zip ~~zip~~] ~~and extract it into your devkitPro folder.~~

~~'''Note:''' devkitPro/ctrulib/libctru contains ctrulib itself, and devkitPro/ctrulib/examples contains a few 3DS homebrew examples.~~

~~== Building ctrulib ==~~

~~In the form under which it's provided, ctrulib needs to be built before you can build homebrew.~~

~~Open a terminal (cmd window under Windows) and browse to ctrulibs directory~~ (the ~~one you entered in the CTRULIB variable of the previous step~~)~~. Run~~ the ~~following commands:~~

~~make clean~~

~~make~~

~~If everything goes right,~~ a ~~lib folder should be created with a file named 'libctru.a' in it~~.

== Building the examples ==

~~You can build from~~ the examples ~~provided with ctrulib~~.

3DS examples are still being created. Currently there are a few examples in the separate ctrulib download under the "examples" folder.

== Building homebrew for distribution ==

To build your homebrew~~, it works the same way as for building ctrulib. Open~~ a terminal, browse to your homebrew's folder and run make.

To build your homebrew open a terminal, browse to your homebrew's folder and run make.

* This will build a .elf file and a .3dsx file together with an icon. The icon and .3dsx file are the format required for the [[Homebrew Channel]].
