Hacking DevkitPro Updater

[Riicky]

everytime I try to download devkitpro, it stops at devkitARM and says either my internet was not permitted or has timed out...I'm gonna grab them manually, but what is the minimum that is needed? thanks in advance!

you don't need the ARM stuff for like 98% of projects. if you really want to compile ARM stuff, you can manually download it and extract it to your devkit folder and then just set up the environmental variable.

thanks pune, I just grabbed the DevkittPPC along with programmers notepad...I'm assuming I install this to c:\DevikitPro....> I want to edit and compile wiiflow and neogamma (if my brain holds up!)

You'd only need DKARM for GBA/DS stuff, or I suppose things involving Starlet(which would involve MINI, no?).

ok people, here goes the newb post....(puts flame retardent hat on)...just to test im trying to compile (without modifications) the wiiflow source,and it keeps saying

Failed to create process: The system cannot find the file specified.

is that the only thing that happens? what OS? what is your env variables set to?

Vista Ultimate 32bit...env variables..no clue, this is the first time i'm attempting to mess with devkit

all I did was download the devkitppc from soureforge, along with the programmers notepad, and extracted them both to c:\DevkitPro

type in a command prompt

echo %DEVKITPRO%

it should tell you the path to the devkit folder. but i suspect that yours will just give you a blank because it was never set. normally this is set by the installer. and you need to have msys set up, and the DEVKITPPC variable. if you still get errors, run that shit as administrator because vista likes to pull its nanny shit.

 

[Riicky]

running the installer as admin right now, fingers crossed..

.yea the echo just gave me a blank

auto installer keeps failing on DevkitPPC, just 3kb short of being finished..it grabbed the msys though

got everything manually again and am reading this guide http://www.devkitpro.org/setup.shtml

ok, upon trying to MAKE, now I get "Please set DEVKITPPC in your environment. export DEVKITPPC=devkitPPC". Stop.

LAST EDIT: got it working...close this thread!

do
+"pause|break"
advanced tab
environmental variables
and add your paths
