Homebrew Building problem related to smdh

[justinkb]

Building certain homebrew libs and programs I run into this odd issue, which I can't seem to nail down...

make[1]: *** No rule to make target '/home/paul/tmp/3ds_homemenuhax/themehax_installer/themehax_installer.smdh', needed by '/home/paul/tmp/3ds_homemenuhax/themehax_installer/themehax_installer.3dsx'.  Stop.
Makefile:132: recipe for target 'build' failed
make: *** [build] Error 2

It also happens when building FBI, using citrus, for example:

$ make
arm-none-eabi-g++ -MMD -MP -MF /home/paul/tmp/FBI/build/ui.d -g -Wall -Wno-strict-aliasing -O3 -mword-relocations -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -march=armv6k -mtune=mpcore -mfloat-abi=hard -I/home/paul/tmp/FBI/source -I/home/paul/tmp/FBI/include -I/opt/devkitpro/citrus/include -I/opt/devkitpro/portlibs/armv6k/include -I/opt/devkitpro/portlibs/3ds/include -I/opt/devkitpro/libctru/include -I./lib/include -I/home/paul/tmp/FBI/build -DARM11 -D_3DS -DVERSION_STRING="\"`git describe --tags --abbrev=0`\"" -std=gnu++11 -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -c /home/paul/tmp/FBI/source/ui.cpp -o ui.o

What's odd is that some other programs, for example, ftbrony, work fine in producing the smdh file. Anyone got a clue about this?

Not 100% sure this is the right place to ask, but I couldn't find anything that matches my question better...

Some additional info:

my 3ds_rules file in /opt/devkitpro/devkitARM definitely contains this bit:

%.smdh: $(APP_ICON) $(MAKEFILE_LIST)
    @smdhtool --create "$(APP_TITLE)" "$(APP_DESCRIPTION)" "$(APP_AUTHOR)" $(APP_ICON) $@
    @echo built ... $(notdir $@)

and the smdhtool is set up fine too:

$ which smdhtool
/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM/bin/smdhtool

also my env seems to be set up fine too:

$ env | grep devkit
CTRULIB=/opt/devkitpro/libctru
DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitpro
DEVKITARM=/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM
PATH=<snip>:/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM/bin:<snip>

SMDH is not necessary, if you can get 3DSX file, you can simply take SMDH file from official release of this homebrews or create it with SMDH Creator or similar tools.

Cheers, I did notice that, but it interrupts the build process so for example the FBI.cia isn't created so I'd rather actually fix the issue than work around it.
