OK I'm pretty sure there are other posts out there about this, but I need help.
I'm trying to compile some Homebrew apps, but i can't figure out how, I have looked everywhere...
Please. Help.
EDIT: I have citrulib downloaded, but i don't know how to use it, sorry never done this before

First, you need your homebrew. I suggest trying this with the examples to start out with. On a folder with an example in it, do SHIFT+RightClick on the folder, "Open command window here", and type "make".

EDIT: Or you could just do what @WiiLoveU said. Much easier. XD

@Job Moody Here, just put this in your makefile instead of what you have:
Code:

ifeq ($(strip $(DEVKITARM)),)
$(error "Please set DEVKITARM in your environment. export DEVKITARM=<path to>devkitARM")

include $(DEVKITARM)/3ds_rules

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# TARGET is the name of the output
# BUILD is the directory where object files & intermediate files will be placed

# NO_SMDH: if set to anything, no SMDH file is generated.
# APP_TITLE is the name of the app stored in the SMDH file (Optional)
# APP_DESCRIPTION is the description of the app stored in the SMDH file (Optional)
# APP_AUTHOR is the author of the app stored in the SMDH file (Optional)
# ICON is the filename of the icon (.png), relative to the project folder.
#   If not set, it attempts to use one of the following (in this order):

What is that?
It says this:

Makefile:126: *** missing separator. Stop.

In the folder with the homebrew you want to compile, there is a file called "makefile". Open it, delete everything inside, and copy and paste that instead.

Still. Did. Nothing.
You gave me code for a calculator?
I need the files for that in order for it to work.

Well im making this https://gbatemp.net/threads/wip-undertale-techdemo.404386/
(the source code is kinda hidden)
It gives an error, you try :D

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

ooops....
found this "If you are looking to compile the demo yourself, please delete the "build" folder, since it may cause some problems."
Click to expand...
Also, it uses sf2d, so it won't work unless you install that. Just try compiling one of the examples.
