Hi

I updated to the latest devkitA64 and libnx2.1.0 yesterday and it caused basically all my builds to completely fail. I managed to get most of it back up again but now I'm stuck with this weird linker error:

Code: Select all

linking EdiZon.elf
c:/devkitpro/devkita64/bin/../lib/gcc/aarch64-none-elf/8.3.0/../../../../aarch64-none-elf/bin/ld.exe: C:/devkitPro/libnx/lib\libnx.a(argv.o): in function `argvSetup':
D:/Development/SwitchHomebrew/libnx/nx/source/runtime/argv.c:115: undefined reference to `__locale_ctype_ptr'
c:/devkitpro/devkita64/bin/../lib/gcc/aarch64-none-elf/8.3.0/../../../../aarch64-none-elf/bin/ld.exe: D:/Development/SwitchHomebrew/libnx/nx/source/runtime/argv.c:97: undefined reference to `__locale_ctype_ptr'
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

The lines it points to don't make a lot of sense really either...
I hope somebody can point out the problem here

At some point in the past, it looks like you have tried compiling and installing libnx from git, which overwrote the one from pacman. When you tried upgrading your install pacman failed to replace it with a newer version because it is different from what pacman had previously installed. Basically your toolchain installation is corrupted.

My advice is to force removing libnx (pacman -Rdd libnx iirc), remove all traces of c:\devkitPro\libnx, and install libnx again (pacman -S libnx).
