buildscripts-20081212 problems

[josergc]

hi everybody,

I got a problem executing the buildscripts-20081212 on a GNU/Linux system:

1: build devkitARM (gba gp32 ds)
2: Download the packages for me (requires curl or wget)
...
Downloads the files and starts to extract them:

use /usr/bin/make as make
use /usr/bin/gawk as gawk

Ready to install devkitARM in /home/user/nds/devkitARM

press return to continue

It looks like the variable $MAXMOD_SRCDIR is missing. I have added the line
MAXMOD_SRCDIR="maxmod-$MAXMOD_VER"
after the line number 373.

It looks like it works now (it is compiling everything that it has downloaded), I still need to compile the examples.

Best regards,

Finally it didn't work:

What can still be missing?

Greetings,

No idea, sorry. Possibly something odd with your setup.

Unfortunately it's hugely difficult to debug buildscript failures blind. It's likely that some of your dev tools aren't new enough versions to compile the components.

Do the binaries work? http://wiki.devkitpro.org/index.php/Get ... /devkitARM

hi WinterMute,

I have installed the SDK following the instructions using these files:

devkitARM_r24-i686-linux.tar.bz2
libnds-1.3.1.tar.bz2
libfat-nds-1.0.3.tar.bz2
dswifi-0.3.6.tar.bz2
maxmod-nds-1.0.2.tar.bz2
default_arm7-20081210.tar.bz2
nds-examples-20081210.tar.bz2

and I have modified that web page with the instructions because the part of setting up the environment variables was missing:

Add these variables in your execution environment, for instance, editing the .bashrc file located in your home folder:

export DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitPro
export DEVKITARM=$DEVKITPRO/devkitARM
export PATH=$PATH:$DEVKITARM/bin

It works now!!

Thanks a lot for your help!!!

[WinterMute]

The PATH setting isn't actually necessary, the template makefiles are designed to work from the other variables and avoid potential conflicts by having several cross compilers in the path at the same time.

Thanks for adding the variables on the wiki though.
