2. Setup
Now that you (hopefully) have some level of familiarity with Rust, time to get setup with the toolchain needed to make plugins for skyline.
First up install the following:
Next run the following command in a terminal of your choice:
cargo install cargo-skyline
This will install cargo-skyline, an extension to cargo (the Rust package manager). To check it is installed properly, try viewing the help text using:
cargo skyline --help
This should display a list of subcommands available to you.
First up, find a good place for all your future plugins to go. This will be your workplace. Probably start with an empty folder, as that will make navigation easier.
Example of an appropriate workspace directory:
C:\Users\jam1garner\skyline-workspace
Now, open a command line within that directory and run the following command:
cargo skyline new my_first_plugin
This will create your first plugin and also prompt you to do initial setup, like so:
Double check that the folder structure looks correct to you, then type "y" and hit enter. Then wait for the command to finishing setting up your workspace. Enjoy the small bit of peace. Let the tension out of your shoulders. Take some deep breaths.
Now that that's finished, change your current directory to be inside that of your plugin (cd my_first_plugin) and then run the following command inside your plugin directory to build your plugin:
cargo skyline build
The resulting plugin should be at the following location: target/aarch64-skyline-switch/debug/libmy_first_plugin.nro.
