devkitPro

I have just installed devkitARM (r25), libnds and the examples as directed on the wiki. None of the examples will build properly:

audio

linking audio_modes.elf
arm-eabi-gcc: soundbank.bin.o: No such file or directory

card, hello_world, RealTimeClock

debugging, ds_motion, dswifi, graphics, input

You've done something quite badly wrong with the install. Did you use command line tar or some graphical helper thing to extract the archives?

I used Tux Commander. I'll try it again with tar.

Edit: It works now, thanks. Must be a bug with tuxcmd.

Yeah, unfortunately I've seen this one happen a lot with archive GUI helpers on linux - for some reason most, if not all, seem to corrupt the extracted files and/or mess up symbolic links when extracting.
