Homebrew How To Setup Devkitpro/CTRULIB + Compiling on Windows?

[dpad_5678]

Any tutorials?

Where do I create my .cpp files so it will recognize the libraries and stuff like that?

Do I have to do anything with my Environment Variables.


Yes, I already installed devkitpro from the .exe setup file.

Try compiling one of the examples in /devkitPro/examples/3ds/ by going to the directory in your command line and typing "make".

To start your own project the easiest way is to just base it off of one of the examples or by copying the Makefile.

Ok, thanks.

So how would i modify the Makefile to compile a .cpp and not a .c file?

if you use the template project and makefile then it is setup to use a "source" and "include" directory. it can compile .c .cpp and .asm files that you put in the "source" directory.

This is the error I get when I compile main.cpp .

C:\devkitPro\examples\3ds\templates\application>make
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `c:/devkitPro/examples/3ds/templates/application/source/main.c', needed by `main.o'.  Stop.
make: *** [build] Error 2

Please Help.

Use linux， or virtualbox.

I'd rather not.

All I want to do is compile C++/Cpp for 3DS.

Did you install devkitarm and ctrulib?
Use msys (it is under devkitpro on the start menu) instead of the cmd.exe for the command line.

So msys is like a cmd alternative? I can run make from it?

 

[FenrirWolf]

Why not open it up, type the word 'make', and find out what happens?

But the answer is yes.

Yes. Paths are a little little different. The c:\ drive is mounted as /c/
And use / instead of \
