Now that we have compiled the library for the Gamecube (which can be checked by looking into the lib directory of GCLIB and to check if there's a libogc.a to be found) it is time to check whether or not the compilers and the library work.

• Change to where you unpacked your GCLIB
  
  
• Make sure that you have the needed build environment by executing the environment script:
  
  . ./environ.sh
  
  (Note: The dot in front of ./environ.sh is essential sind otherwise the environment would be gone as soon as the script-execution ends)
  (Note2: You could also add the above line to your .bashrc file to be started whenever you start a new bash)
  
  
• Change to the example directory
  
  cd samples/hello
  
  
• Build the .dol file (this being a format the the GameCube recognizes as executable)
  
  make dol
  
  
• You can now either upload the resulting hello.dol file with your preferred upload tool or just use the following commandline
  
  make run
  
  Note:
  The following make targets can be used in a project
  
  make clean : clean up the build directory
  make : build the .elf file of the application
  make dol : build the .bin and .dol files of the application
  make run : send the .dol file to GameCube via PSOload

This is only a small and easy test of the library and I will write more detailed tutorials soon. But if you've come this far without any errors you are ready to write nice GameCube applications.
