Homebrew [Q] Am I doing/installed something wrong? (nothing seems to build)

Run the commands from msys which sets up the environment for you. It comes with devKitPro.
Same thing happens to me if I try to just run make from cmd.

Ok, so I tried it out, using the make command, I'm still getting a launcher.dat in the result. What command/what do I need to change to build a .3dsx file?

Are you getting any errors? The examples in ctrulib should be set up to make .3dsx files by default, that is what ctrulib is designed for after all.

There's clearly an error right there, likely a problem with the code. The input example seemed to compile fine though.

So, what should I do to fix this all up? The input example had the makefile from http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/3DS_Homebrew, so that's why it was making a launcher.dat, though I'm still looking for .3dsx

That doesn't seem right. That makefile doesn't even use ctrulib.
Why does that makefile look completely different from this? https://github.com/smealum/ctrulib/tree/master/examples/input

I added it in to see if I could see if everything was setup with devkitpro. Though, are these errors occuring due to devkitpro or that ctrulib isn't installed right?

That makefile isn't going to work. It's made for 3DS homebrew that doesn't use ctrulib, in other words launcher.dat homebrew.
What I'm asking is why did you replace the makefile in the example with the one from the wiki?

As for the error, I'm not sure. But to me it seems like you might be running the wrong MSys. It shouldn't be seeing "C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin". Do you have MSys already installed in that location? I don't have that folder on my PC at all.
For whatever reason, the MAKE environment variable is returning that path. Specifically, in this part of the audio/mic makefile: "@$(MAKE) --no-print-directory -C $(BUILD) -f $(CURDIR)/Makefile"

What seems to be going on here now? Yikes, this is confusing me a bit.

I have no way of knowing because I can't see the actual error of the first one I've no idea what you've changed since your last post.

I suggest you uninstall everything, delete the devKitPro folder and start over, and this time don't mess with the makefiles.

In the devKitPro installer, make sure you select everything under devkitARM including libctru. Make sure you use the 1.5.4 installer, that's the latest one.

With this setup and without doing anything else, I was able to compile the input demo (from smea's github) just fine from the msys that's installed with devkitPro, no problems at all. The audio/mic demo would not compile, I think it needs a newer version of ctrulib as the one included with devkitPro isn't entirely up to date, but that's a simple compile and copy/paste job. The graphics and sdmc demos also compiled fine. Didn't test the others.

Also what is in the C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32 folder?

Okedokee, so I'll delete everything and start over. In the C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32 folder is the Make command. I had this for quite a few years. Is there another Make command that devkitpro uses?

Yes... And yours seems to be conflicting with it. Might be an environment variable that's set wrong. Or as I said, you might be running an old MSys copy you already had installed rather than the one in devkitPro.

Ok, so I fixed it up to use dkp's make instead. Now this is happening:

You don't have devkitARM installed properly. Install the entire devkitARM with the devkitPro updater like i told you.

My dkp directory after I used the updater and selected DKARM and Ctrulib

And is the 3ds_rules file in the devkitARM directory?

Yep, all the files are here now, but, now I'm getting this when I use make

(Why do I have so much bad luck..)

Try "make clean" then "make"
