A GPLv3 licensed level editor for the Famicom game Lunar Ball written in C/SDL.
Install the SDL2 development package of your distro (For example in Debian based distros libsdl2-dev). Then just type make at the repository root directory. The executable will be at bin/lbeditor. You can also compile for debugging using make debug, it will remove optimizations and add debugging symbols for tools like gdb.
Install mingw-w64 targeting i686 compiler. Download SDL2 development libraries for mingw and extract at the repository root directory. Name the extracted directory SDL2 or modify the SDL2_MINGW_DIR variable at the Makefile. Then just type make windows. The executable will be at bin/lbeditor.exe.
I still haven't tried doing this, but it should work using mingw-w64 and probably cygwin, in which case the instructions are the same as in Windows from Linux. If you know what you are doing you can use whatever you want since the compiling and linking process is fairly trivial.
Remember to type make clean if you compiled for either platform and want to compile for the other one.
Drag the rom file to the executable, or pass it as a parameter. When you close the editor, it should save your changes in a new rom output.nes, you can also reopen this file if you want.
For now, it only works with the japanese version of the game.
