Homebrew Misc make: *** No rule to make target '/devkitpro/libnx/switch_rules'. Stop.

I'm trying to build a custom project and it gives out this error

make: *** No rule to make target '/devkitpro/libnx/switch_rules'.  Stop.

libnx was updated recently, and it's not via pacman. you have to go to its github and make install it there (not sure if it includes switch rules or not). okay, it does:

How do I update it (I'm using Github Codespaces' Ubuntu)

Have you gone through the how to build atmosphere tutorial by @impeeza ?

https://gbatemp.net/threads/building-atmosphere-on-windows-using-msys2.613446/

it’s for Windows but the instructions are easily translated to Linux. Once you can build Atmosphere properly then you are assured to be able to build almost anything else relatively trouble free on a proven environment.

e: https://docs.github.com/en/billing/...odespaces/about-billing-for-github-codespaces

this is actually pretty cool. I do my builds on a raspberry pi…I might switch to a free code space. Hmmmm

For building Atmosphère on UBUNTU, I had to run this commands:

DevKitPro Installation

sudo apt install wget
wget https://apt.devkitpro.org/install-devkitpro-pacman
chmod +x ./install-devkitpro-pacman
sudo ./install-devkitpro-pacman

Base packages

sudo apt install lz4 zip git make gcc python3 python-is-python3 python3-pip
sudo pip install pycryptodome lz4
sudo dkp-pacman -Sy --noconfirm --needed libnx devkitA64 devkitARM devkitarm-rules hactool switch-dev dkp-toolchain-vars switch-tools switch-mesa switch-libdrm_nouveau switch-sdl2 switch-libjpeg-turbo switch-glm
sudo dkp-pacman -Syuu --noconfirm

You need to copy prod.keys file on $HOME/.switch

Building

export DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitpro
export DEVKITARM=${DEVKITPRO}/devkitARM
export DEVKITPPC=${DEVKITPRO}/devkitPPC
export PATH=${DEVKITPRO}/tools/bin:$PATH
git clone --recursive https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere
cd Atmosphere
make -j$(nproc)

 

[godreborn]

my guess is that it's the cross compiler (gcc). I'd do pacman -Syu switch-dev . either don't do libnx from there or redo the make install from the github version afterwards. it might be easier doing the latter, because you'd want everything else installed.

I just tried to build your project, and it errored here. it's most likely going to fail once it's done obviously:

What does Error 1/2 mean and is there a guide/error documentation?

I'm not sure in this case. I didn't let it stop with failure, I just exited out, because it was pointless at that time. if I had to guess what the problem was, it was some sort of variable in the code that confused the compiler. maybe the compiler is the wrong version? however, that last thing in the dependencies only seems to exist with ubuntu 22.04, so it's probably not something to do with the linux distro.

Yeah, that's not what happened, because I end up with the same error on linux after messing with the export command. Guess I'll do some tinkering later because the PC build runs fine (see this)

P.S.: But the windows one fails too It's the git now...

I got it to build in linux. I actually made the mistake by using make -j instead of make -j$(nproc):

Can this actually fix my issue with switch building (I used make platfrom=switch before)?

 

[godreborn]

Can this actually fix my issue with switch building (I used make platfrom=switch before)?

this seems to use cmake, then make. I used the instructions in the building link. it links to another project, but the same steps work with yours as well. I don't really know what make PLATFORM=switch would do. some compiles require it if there's more than one possible platform it could build for.

Decided to switch (pun intended) to ye old windows and building w/o platform=switch still get these errors (1 and 2)
