Help to setup Visual C++ Express 2008 + Vista

[Averroes]

Hello Everyone,

I need some help to setup my IDE, more specificly Visual C++ Express 2008 SP1 under Vista 64bits SP1, for nds development.

I followed the steps that are at this page : http://www.devkitpro.org/faq/how-do-i-u ... c-express/

But I will sum up what I did :

• Setup devkitpro (default parameter)
• Setup Visual C++ Express 2008 SP1
• Create new project > make file project
• Build command line : make -r 2>&1 | sed -e 's/\(.[a-zA-Z]\+\):\([0-9]\+\):/\1(\2):/’
• Clean commands : make clean
• Output : TutorialNds.ds
• Located at C:\DSProjects
• I've added Makefile from examples\nds in the project and added it to VC++ thanks to Add>Existing Item... menu
• I've created a main.cpp file with the code below
• And I've an error when I build with VC++

Folder content :


main.cpp

Code: Select all

#include <nds.h>
#include <stdio.h>

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
int main(void) {
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

	
    irqInit();
	irqEnable(IRQ_VBLANK);
	

	return 0;
}

Makefile :

Code: Select all

SUBDIRS:= $(shell ls | egrep -v '^(CVS)$$')

DATESTRING	:=	$(shell date +%Y)$(shell date +%m)$(shell date +%d)

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
all: examples
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	rm -fr bin
	mkdir -p bin
	find ./ -name *.nds -exec cp -fv {} bin \;

examples:
	@for i in $(SUBDIRS); do if test -e $$i/Makefile ; then $(MAKE) -C $$i || { exit 1;} fi; done;

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
clean:
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	@rm -fr bin
	@rm -f *.bz2
	@for i in $(SUBDIRS); do if test -e $$i/Makefile ; then $(MAKE)  -C $$i clean || { exit 1;} fi; done;

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
install:
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	@for i in $(SUBDIRS); do if test -e $$i/Makefile ; then $(MAKE)  -C $$i install || { exit 1;} fi; done;

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
dist: clean
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	@rm -fr bin
	@tar --exclude=*CVS* -cvjf nds-examples-$(DATESTRING).tar.bz2 *

I`ve found out why it didn't. I've taken the wrong makefile.
The makefile I work with know is the one in template\arm9.

But which one i need in templates folder between arm9, arm9lib, combined or dldi for nds development?

I had to modify the make file in order to use the current directory for source file because VC++ create all the files created with Add Item menu in the project folder.
