[libnds] Debugging in Visual Studio 2010

[dornad]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to setup Visual Studio 2010 for libnds. I've followed the instructions for VS2008 in http://www.console-dev.de/2009/09/03/cr ... udio-2008/ with sucess up to the debugging section.

When I press F5, I see in the output that the compilation occurrs but I get the following error:


"Parameter basePath cannot have zero length"

I've googled the basePath parameter but I've had no luck finding any reference to it, other than a OGRE problem, which was solved without any explanation.

Thanks.

these instructions do not allow you to debug a program with Visual Studio - no matter the version. so, F5 will not work. Ctrl-F5 should work though - this is just launching the target - in this case in an emulator.

elhobbs,

Control+F5 produces the same basePath error. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I ran into the exact same problem when migrating from 2008 to 2010. I still don't know what exactly causes the problem, but there's an easy workaround. Just specify the full path to your make executable, i.e.
project Properties -> Debugging -> Command -> c:\devkitPro\msys\bin\make
