Hi,
I am trying to compile a little program I have written. I am using tonclib and the tonc text engine. However the linker throws the following errors:

Code: Select all

I already read this thread https://devkitpro.org/viewtopic.php?t=1600, and tried to add -lg to the linker flags, however this did not work.

The code with the Makefile did compile and link correctly in the past, but not anymore.

Can someone please help me?

libtonc needs rebuilt with latest toolchain.

I've added a libtonc package so you can install that with pacman -S libtonc then use -I$(DEVKITPRO)/libtonc/include for your includes & -L$(DEVKITPRO)/libtonc/lib for your libraries.

I'll have a look at adding templates & the tonc example code later, just need to check over some things with Cearn.

Wow, how embarrassing that I didn't think of this.

Thanks Dave, that solved my issue.
