Homebrew Homebrew Development

Do I need any extensions/programs to build ctrulib using the Windows CMD? Because I am getting an Error 127 and command not found when I run make clean and make. Any Ideas how I can get this working?

I don't think make works at all with cmd, you have to run it in MSYS.

So I have ordered Cubic Ninja today, now to wait until I get it and then patch my 9.2 E 3DS.
Since I know quite some c++ I wanted to make homebrew games. After having a quick read through a few pages..
What do we have to use as in libraries?

Do we need to use raw memory to edit the framebuffer?
Is there a 2D/3D engine to work with?
if there is, Is it nice to work with or complicated?
Can we access networking code? ( for a multiplayer game?)

I saw CTRULib or something like that?
is there a nice overview page for it? (Documentation anything?)

I installed that but I am getting the same error. I am using the MSYS Terminal, but still command not found/ error 127.

Any Ideas?

So well, having only seen today that homebrew was possible, How come theres no sound support for the ninjhax exploit?

Hey, I need help to debug https://github.com/DownloadMii/DownloadMii (download can be found on http://build.filfatstudios.com:8080)
It should download a Jason file, display the 20 first chars of the string and then draw a rectangle, instead it crashes.
Thanks

string data;
sprintf( const_cast<char*>(data.c_str()), "%s",b) ; //Places the content of the buffer inside "data"

n**** you what

I convert the string to a char[] that works with sprintf, any less hacky way you know?

c_str() works for getting data out of std::string, but definitely not the other way around. The fact that you had to use const_cast should be a huge hint that something is wrong.
The code should go something like this:

size_t maxContentLength = 1377; // whatever
char* content = (char*) malloc(maxContentLength + 1);
 
size_t amountReceived = ReceiveData(content, maxContentLength);
content[amountReceived] = 0;
 
std::string s(content);
free(content);

There is probably a simpler way to do this (allocating directly in the std::string), but I'm not that familiar with the STL.

I actually copied the code and totally missed the const part, will look into it now

you cant convert u8* char* (almost have no idea how char works as I use string for everything string related, I mean who the heck uses char )
Right?

For the purpose of storing ASCII strings, those two are technically interchangeable, but you should use char for CHARacter data (e.g. text) and u8 for binary data.

Yeah but the function wants a u8 so I have no choice. And I'm not going near chars ever again. String is everything I need. FUCK chars.

You sound like a Javababy Homebrew is for serious programmers only

Um no.. I use C# as my main language btw, I don't have these problems on the Wii

I reinstalled msys and also installed all of the c++ and c components but it is still giving me an error:

make clean:

make: echo: command not found
make: *** [clean] Error 127

make

make: make: Command not found
make: *** [build] Error 127

I searched google, but I cant find a solution, any Idea how I can build this thing to start coding?

--snip--

Are you running make FROM msys?

 

[MeisterFenster]

I tried using the cmd (as said on 3dbrew) and from msys (that batch, that opens a terminal window should be right, I guess?)

Sorry for all my questions but I have never done something like that before, I am used to Visual Studio and clicking a button to compile^^

You should
- run msys.bat
- ensure $PATH contains devkitPro/devkitARM/bin (note that you need to use UNIX shell syntax now because you're not in cmd)
- go to the right directory and run make

If it still doesn't work, post the complete output including all of your previous commands.
