Hello, I'm nooby building code and I’m trying to compile some libretro for RetroArch in switch

I have macOS M2 and in the for now I'm not sure if devkitpro is well installed

After I installed Xcode and command line and devkitpro-pacman but when I run this in Terminal

Code: Select all

sudo dkp-pacman -Sy devkit-env devkitA64 libnx switch-tools switch-mesa switch-zlib switch-bzip2 switch-liblzma switch-freetype switch-libpng switch-libvpx switch-ffmpeg

But I got this

Code: Select all

The devkit-env package doesn't exist on macOS. devkit-env, devkitA64, libnx, and switch-tools are all part of the core switch-dev group which should be used in preference to avoid this kind of confusion. I'd be grateful if you fed this back to where you got your installation instructions.

Sorry, maybe I'm not so expert to understand what you ask me
What do I need to change in preference and how to do it?

Someone somewhere has given you this command line to run. I'm assuming it's written down somewhere, perhaps as instructions for compiling libretro

After I installed Xcode and command line and devkitpro-pacman but when I run this in Terminal
Code: Select all
sudo dkp-pacman -Sy devkit-env devkitA64 libnx switch-tools switch-mesa switch-zlib switch-bzip2 switch-liblzma switch-freetype switch-libpng switch-libvpx switch-ffmpeg

This command line, to avoid confusion like this can and should be simplified to

Code: Select all

sudo dkp-pacman -S --needed switch-dev switch-mesa switch-liblzma switch-freetype switch-libvpx switch-ffmpeg

If you can file an issue with the project you're trying to build to tell them of this problem (link to this thread if you want) it would be much appreciated. It would help others avoid this kind of confusion in the future.
