Hacking Problem compiling a recent CFW source

Oatmeald · Mar 30, 2020

I've just gotten into switch hacking, and I wanted to compile an Animal Crossing: New Horizons save editor, found here: https://github.com/kwsch/NHSE

I found a github link for an uncompiled version, so I found the only guide I could on how to compile it, found here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-build-almost-any-switch-cfw-or-homebrew-app.517065/

Well I followed the guide, putting the master folder in my desktop, CD to the directory, and typed in "make". It gave the following error:
C:\Users\inten\Desktop\NHSE-master>make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

I couldn't find any relevant fix for it in the guide thread. Does anybody know what I can do?

That’s becuase the source your working with is built using visual studio

You can try setting up visual studio for switch development using this

https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutoria...-nintendo-switch-homebrew-development.525977/

Also the tutorial you followed is really old just installing devkitpro is enough to be able to build most homebrew now days

If you find the examples folder inside devkitpro then goto the switch folder theres a bunch of examples you can try building to make sure everything is setup right and the examples are good if you wanna learn about switch homebrew development

You need Visual Studio 2019 to make it with the required .NET SDK. The NuGet ressources should selfinstall and afterwards its just a matter of hitting the button to run it. No need for a make command or anything. It is not a CFW/Homebrew app as far as i know.
I also made a thread with a working compiled version.

It should be easy enough to use, even if you dont know that sln files are associated with VisualStudio.
