Hi, I'm starting to learn how to make NDS homebrew. I've installed the devkitPro toolchains and all of that, but I wanted to know if it is possible to add a feature in Notepad++ that lets you press a button and compile the homebrew. Any ideas?

IDEs for C are a bit of an awkward area as most C programmers are used to low level operations and just run the compilation commands themselves on terminal or powershell or whatever

try Eclipse
Ok, I would get the one for C/C++ right?

Visual Studio Code with the C++ add on is similarly configurable to Eclipse

you get IDE features like autocompletion, but it's still an editor, it revolves around how you setup your files, you don't have those heavy project files, etc.

yeah, Eclipse or NetBeans they both support several languages including C/C++

I'd suggest you watch a general tutorial for whichever one you download if you've never used an IDE before, just to get a hang of the interface

I don't think the C++ add-on for VSCode lets you compile, only debug
EDIT: I have been corrected
