Homebrew Nihstro-assembler Help.

Is the only way to use Nihstro is by building it with CMake and C++ Boost libraries? I heard theres a precompiled version, but I don't know where to find it.

I would say the build instructions are pretty good but a certain amount of reading may be required

Yeah I bet they're great too, but is there a precompiled version, so I don't have to read the build instructions?

Yes - Google it!! Nihstro binary download

Is there a specific reason why you're using nihstro? It's pretty outdated, there is picasso which received more recent updates.

I believe they are trying to build blargsnes - https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-do-i-compile-files-to-3dsx.415466/

I have a static linux build here: https://github.com/cpp3ds/3ds-tools/releases/download/r3/3ds-tools-linux-r3.tar.gz

Doesn't require any boost version installed.

Thanks, but I'm using Windows.

I downloaded the Nihstro binary, but where do I put it? Because when I type the make command it says: "Makefile:10: *** "Please set NIHSTRO in your environment. export NIHSTRO=<path to>nihstro-assemble". Stop."

It doesn't matter so much where you put it as you are going to add the "export NIHSTRO=" command to the makefile. Open up the makefile in a text editor and look for the line where it is complaining about exporting NIHSTRO. Then add the export command somewhere above it. You will be specifying the full path and file name. You could even dump it in the devkitpro folder if you are at a loss as to where to put it.(it being the binary file)

I'm still getting the error.
Here's the orignal code...

ifeq ($(strip $(NIHSTRO)),)
$(error "Please set NIHSTRO in your environment. export NIHSTRO=<path to>nihstro-assemble")
endif

Now here's my new one...

ifeq ($(strip $(NIHSTRO)),)
$(error "Please set NIHSTRO in your environment. export NIHSTRO=<C:\nihstro>nihstro-assemble")
endif

Is there something wrong with my new code?

Interesting that you chose to put the export command after the error message. In this context "above" should be interpreted as "prior to". But go one step further and move the export above the ifeq line. Also, fix the path to the binary. What you have typed is not a valid format. If you can type the whole path and file name together on the command line - and it starts - then you have it right. Google absolute paths in Windows if you need to good luck.

@elhobbs When I do compress my files, so I can change blargSnes controls...where do I put the files?

Sorry, no idea what you are talking about. Compress?

 

[Stardust3033]

Sorry, no idea what you are talking about. Compress?

When I type the command make it's suppose to compresses the files right?

https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-do-i-compile-files-to-3dsx.415466/

But when I do it says nihstro error.

So, when I fix the nihstro error, I can compress the file. I'm compressing new blargSnes controls.

I am sorry. I don't think I can help you further. I suspect this task is beyond your current experience level. You should should maybe take some programming classes or perhaps some online tutorials specializing in C programming and/or make usage.

Ok, that seems like good idea. Thanks for all the help, learned a lot.
