devkitPro

Posted: **Sun Apr 11, 2010 10:48 am**

Hi guys, I need some help trying out devkit arm for the first time.
I downloaded the whole devkit pro package in "download only" mode
for use on my dev pc.

So I extracted everything to thier respective folders but I can't
seem to compile the examples.

BTW, I can't install the devkitpro package via online installation because my
connection at home is a 2g wireless which have intermitent
connection and download speeds of 2-3 kbps.

My OS is WinXP.

Here's what my failed attemps gave me...

Invoking the "makefile" from "C:\devkitpro\examples\nds-examples\hello_world\"

This is the Programmer's Notepad build output:

Code: Select all

> "make" 
"make": make: Command not found
"make": *** [build] Error 127

This is the output when I ran make from the commandline:

Code: Select all

C:\devkitpro\examples\nds-examples\hello_world>make
make: make: Command not found
make: *** [build] Error 127

C:\devkitpro\examples\nds-examples\hello_world>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

Here's the output from another example from the "C:\devkitpro\examples\nds-examples\Graphics\Sprites\simple"

Code: Select all

C:\devkitpro\examples\nds-examples\Graphics\Sprites\simple>make
make[1]: echo: Command not found
make[1]: *** [template.o] Error 127
make: *** [build] Error 2

C:\devkitpro\examples\nds-examples\Graphics\Sprites\simple>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

This is the directory structure of my "c:\devkitpro" folder

Here's the "C:\devkitpro\libnds" folder (as you can see both default.arm7 and default.elf have been copied there but I don't know if that's correct.)

Here are my enviromnent variables:

System Variables:

DEVKITARM
C:\devkitpro\devkitARM

Code: Select all

DEVKITPRO
C:\devkitpro\

So what do you think went wrong?

Thanks in advance.

well, the DEVKITPRO environment needs to be /c/devkitpro and /c/devkitpro\devkitARM for devkitARM, but not sure if that would make an difference.

you can also just download the stuff manually from sourceforge, and then use the installer to install it. if you put the packages in the same directory as the installer, the installer will pick those instead of downloading it themselves.

Thanks a bunch! I'm reinstalling it now.
