[blubberdiblub]

The MAXPATHLEN problem is fixable by adding #include <sys/param.h> to the affected files.
The stricmp problem is fixable by replacing stricmp by strcasecmp.

However, now I'm stuck at linking against mxml (note that the one on sourceforce is quite old), which apparently references a non-existent symbol __ctype_ptr__:

[palxex]

@blubberdiblub same problem here. Finally I found the problem: devkitpro upgraded their ABI in compiler but did not upgrade their portlibs. The current situation is we'd to recompile mxml manually. Tips: configure it with --enable-threads=no.
Then after that I stucked at CryptoDomo( I strongly suggest add a requirements.txt in top folder or pywii), it complains TypeError: Only byte strings can be passed to C code in the wad.adddata(data,ct.cid) call, seems version dismatch. Now have no idea.

[marcan]

For DevkitPPC issues, please report them to DevkitPPC. This isn't the first time they've broken everything.

Without a full stacktrace there's no way to figure out what that pywii error is. It works fine for me.

Now both my ubuntu & macOS machine report this error. pycryptodomex 3.4.6.

[marcan]

Does it fail to load any other keys besides "korean-key"? If it does, you're missing your keys.

[palxex]

I'm afraid there're many missing key...below is a full log after channelapp built:

Could you analysis it and figure things goes wrong from which step?

[marcan]

You need to obtain the encryption keys (at least "common-key"). We don't provide those. That's your responsibility. The code is already telling you what the problem is. Keys go in ~/.wii/.

[marcan]

Either way, I've pushed some changes that should fix the MAXPATHLEN/stricmp issues. Issues with precompiled DevkitPPC libs should be reported to DevkitPPC. The pywii issue is unrelated and user error (I've pushed a change to make the exception more explicit about the problem). Please open one issue for each problem.

[palxex]

@marcan thanks very much for pointing me out.
