ROM Hack make: armips: Command not found

[3nvys]

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 and I'm trying to patch my code.bin for SaltySD but whenever I use make it gives me that error.

In my folder I have
-armips.exe
-code.bin
Makefile
-patch.s
-PATCHING.md
-uncode.tbl
Thanks.

Obviously, if you're running Linux, you won't use the Windows binary of armips.

Here's a Linux x86_64 build of armips:

You can just go and copy the armips binary to your /bin directory, or whatever.

I read it as "Armpits"

I tried it and got the same error. Also I'm dual booted with Windows 7 and had the same problem. Thanks though.

You didn't do it. Did you just copy armips to the directory? That's not how Linux works.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Open a terminal in whatever directory you have armips and do:

sudo cp armips /bin/armips

Or something like that.

I did put it in the right directory, but now whenever I run it (even with sudo) it tells me permission denied.

make: execvp: armips: Permission Denied

make: execvp: armips: Permission Denied

Do sudo chmod +x /bin/armips .

 

[3nvys]

Do sudo chmod +x /bin/armips .

That worked! Thanks for the help.

So you know what you're doing next time, essentially:

- You generally don't want to run *.exe binaries on Linux. It *can* be done through Wine, but is generally unwanted.
- To set a file as executable, you have to set its permissions (ex. chmod +x somefile)
- To run it, you need to either add it to your PATH (which allows you to run from the terminal directly, like when you copy it to /bin) or run it from the directory with ./somefile
