Guide was designed for Windows 10 but should work on eariler Windows versions as well.
Download this: https://github.com/devkitPro/installer/releases
select "Download and install" and "remove downloaded files". select everything when it asks what you want installed. Default install location is recommended. This can take a while.
download this: https://cygwin.com/
make sure you get the one for your system architype. Choose "Download from Internet". Choose "all users". Use system proxy. Use the first mirror. Leave default packages. Uncheck Start Menu and Desktop Icon.
Search "edit the system enivorment variables" in the windows search
click enivorment variables
Under system variables look for "Path"
click edit then new and paste in C:\devkitPro\devkitA64\bin (or where you installed DevKitPro)
click Edit Text and put a ; then the same C:\devkitPro\devkitA64\bin (or where you installed DevKitPro) and then another ; at the end
go to https://github.com/switchbrew/libnx and download the source to the desktop and unzip (libnx-master folder should be on desktop now)
open CMD and CD to the directory of libnx-master folder (Should be on desktop)
now do "make install"
once it is done (may take a while) close that CMD
Open a new CMD window and do:
(these should be executed one at a time and if it asks for confirmation Type "Y")
pacman -S switch-sdl2_mixer
pacman -S switch-sdl2_image
pacman -S switch-sdl2_gfx
pacman -S switch-sdl2_ttf
download the source code of a switch CFW or NRO (for example FreeShopNX). Unzip and put the folder on the desktop. Open CMD and CD to the folder location. then do "Make". All the extracted files will be in the master folder or out folder in the master folder.
This will not work for everything but should work for most.

[eyeliner]

Tell Daigan I send much praise his way. I shall chant his name while holding my beer up high.
And I shall also chant footnotes in thy name.

you and OP should just do the list from tumGER's SD files:

pacman -S devkitA64 switch-tools switch-curl switch-bzip2 switch-freetype switch-libjpeg-turbo switch-sdl2 switch-sdl2_gfx switch-sdl2_image switch-sdl2_ttf switch-zlib switch-libpng

I hope some genius can use this to make a Nintendo 64 emulator for the switch.

there is an N64 emulator, it just doesn't run full speed. patience, it'll happen.

will this hurt or destroy my pc in any way?

no it doesn't change any file associations and doesn't add anything to your PATH that would interfere with other stuff really even if you already code

 

[Deleted member 442567]

it says :

C:\Users\Admin\Desktop>make install
make: *** No rule to make target 'install'. Stop.

 

[shchmue]

need to be in a folder containing a makefile

 

[Deleted member 442567]

how do i make a makefile?

 

[radicalwookie]

Makes me wish I took programming in school l..

 

[shchmue]

how do i make a makefile?

do you have something specific you're trying to compile? like you made something and you want to turn it into homebrew? or you downloaded something and want to build it

 

[Deleted member 442567]

i wanna turn the project 64 emulator or mupen64 emulator into homebrew for switch

 

[Ericthegreat]

You know, it don't work that way.... Good idea tho, start learning a programming language

Okay next guess do you have the latest commit of libnx? if not then I suggest trying that
