devkitPro

I've just installed devkitARM using the "Alternative installation script" at http://devkitpro.org/wiki/Getting_Started/devkitARM. I'm running OS X 10.6.6. I tried make-ing examples/nds/hello_world, but I get an error during linking (hello_world.elf): cannot find -lg. Here's the full output:

Code: Select all

main.cpp
arm-eabi-g++ -MMD -MP -MF /opt/devkitpro/examples/nds/hello_world/build/main.d -g -Wall -O2 -march=armv5te -mtune=arm946e-s -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -mthumb -mthumb-interwork -I/opt/devkitpro/examples/nds/hello_world/include -I/opt/devkitpro/examples/nds/hello_world/build -I/opt/devkitpro/libnds/include -I/opt/devkitpro/libnds/include -I/opt/devkitpro/examples/nds/hello_world/build -DARM9 -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -c /opt/devkitpro/examples/nds/hello_world/source/main.cpp -o main.o

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [/opt/devkitpro/examples/nds/hello_world/hello_world.elf] Error 1
make: *** [build] Error 2

What do I need to do in order to build and link successfully? Thanks for the help.

We managed to solve this on IRC after some checking of environment variables and files. It turned out to be a problem caused by extraction with "The Unarchiver" - a replacement for "Archive Utility.app", the built-in archive unpacker program on Mac OS X. Somehow it managed to create some files as symbolic links to non existent files.

Thanks for updating this thread, WinterMute.

To clarify, I removed the entire devkitpro directory and started over. I used tar instead of The Unarchiver and all symlinks were either gone or correctly linked.
