Getting "Please set DEVKITARM" in Debian Buster

Post by ChaoticAnarchyX » Thu Mar 24, 2022 10:51 pm

Hi everyone

I'm running Debian Buster 64 bit and have been trying to get my build libraries to link to DEVKITPRO. I installed dev kits with the devkit installer instructions on the website, but now when I'm trying to build (in this case the latest hekate to run switch homebrew,) I'm being met with "Makefile:2: *** "Please set DEVKITARM in your environment. export DEVKITARM=<path to>devkitARM". Stop.

Anyone know how to satisfy what it's asking for? I'm sure this is an easy fix and something I'm misunderstanding. Thanks in advance!

Did you install the tools you need? i.e. run something like

Code: Select all

sudo dkp-pacman -S switch-dev devkitARM
after installing devkitPro pacman?

Did you log out & in again or source the script to set the env variables as instructed? Is your shell bash compatible?

Failing that show us the output of env in your terminal. i.e. run

Code: Select all

env > env.txt
in your terminal then copy & paste the contents of env.txt here.
