You must have [http://www.devkitpro.org/ devitPro] installed. Version r24 is known to work, more recent versions may work, but occasionally introduce non-backward compatibility changes which cause them to break compatibility with ScummVM.

Moreover, by default, ScummVM DS expects to find libmad, an MP3 compressor library targeted for the ARM platform. If you don't have this, you must disable libmad support by opening 'backends/platform/ds/arm9/makefile' and commenting out the line which says USE_MAD = 1.


To sum it up, you need to install at least the following:
You need to install at least the following packages:

To build ScummVM DS from source, it's probably better to checkout the latest version of the code from the ScummVM SVN repository. The ScummVM Sourceforge.net homepage has all the information about how to do this.
The following command should be run in order to setup your environment variables for cross-compiling:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
Enter the <code>backends/platform/ds</code> folder and type:
source /opt/devkitpro/ndsvars.sh
 
</syntaxhighlight>
<syntax type="bash">
make SCUMM_BUILD=a
</syntax>
The executable nds file will build inside <code>backends/platform/ds/arm9/SCUMMVM-A</code>.
 
For other builds, substitute the letters <code>b</code> to <code>g</code> in the above line.
 
To build everything, type:
 
<syntax type="bash">
make allbuildssafe
</syntax>


To compile ScummVM, issue the following commands inside the scummvm folder:
