EDIT: Finished!

It installs devkitPro and PAlib automatically!

he didn't disable eabi. if you read the devkitpro site you'll see the tuplet changed from arm-eabi to arm-none-eabi. palib sucks and people shouldn't be using it, but if the latest version of the toolchain works with palib(and apparently it does based on what that guy is saying), then there's no reason not to use it if you really, really want to use palib for whatever reason.

Of course there is. I told you what the reason is already.

DevkitPro is being constantly updated, so is libnds and DevkitARM. PAlib is a wrapper for libnds, and it's no longer updated. By proxy, when functions included in the wrapper change their argument set, are deprecated or otherwise modified, the no longer updated wrapper may (and does) act in an unpredictable fashion, causing unsolvable bugs.

Revision 32 of DevkitPro is the last revision with which PAlib is 100% compatible, it's the recommended one to use, point.

That said, PAlib is a convoluted and bloated moster that should be avoided at all costs, so it's a non-issue unless someone's fooling around with it for kicks or trying to compile legacy source code.

Well played, Yoshi.

Is it just a batch installation, or is it something more complex?

It's a Windows Forms application; here's a screenshot:

Cool! I like the looks of it.

Using this version of PAlib I am able to compile and run PAlib based apps using the latest DevKitPro as of this writing. I extracted the file to /PAlib inside /devkitPro and had to do the following Makefile change:

Changed this line in \devkitPro\PAlib\lib\PA_Makefile

PREFIX := arm-eabi-

To this:

PREFIX := arm-none-eabi-

Hope that helps some of you!

A bit of a late reply as to the method, but I tested it and for all intents and purposes, it works (with Nitro and FAT as well), however deprecated file systems such as EFS no longer work with Devkit Pro rev.33 and higher, so installing rev.32 as suggested earlier is recommended if you are compiling applications using EFS.

Yes, I know this is a necrobump, in a way.

EDIT: I am making a program called 'devkitPwn' which will totally pwn devkitPro and while it has no idea what's going on it injects PAlib right in there and it will be like l33t.

Where can I download devkitPwn? I can't find it anywhere
