Homebrew [Preview] cpp3ds - Homebrew library and environment tutorial (for developers)

[Garcia98]

Does running "sh --version" say you're using bash? Or dash?

I think his error come from the fact that Ubuntu uses dash by default. But if you're using dash too, I must be wrong.

sh --version says that -- is an illegal option

But man sh says that I'm using dash

hahahahaha I compiled bannertool and I use it copying on the cpp3ds/bin directory. Now I get this:

Lol. The tools are latest build, literally built 20 hours ago using automated build script.

Could you show the output for "make VERBOSE=1"? You might have to put that on a pastebin if it's a lot. Then I can see exactly what commands are being run.

Here you have! Thanks for helping me. http://pastebin.com/VHWA7dqi

It's an awesome project dude! I'm really looking forward into it. The homebrew is pointless when there are only few people who can make it. And this will finally let other more casual programmers like me create something for 3DS. I'm using SFML so I'm really excited about it. A complete 3ds homebrew IDE. Currently I don't have Linux (I used to have it earlier, now I'm running out of space on my hdd), so I'll wait for Windows version.

This looks great, can't wait to use this when it's a bit more mature

Are you using 32-bit? Command to check is "uname -m" if you're not sure.

i686, it's a netbook.

I also use a 32-bit netbook xD

I think that's probably the issue. All the packaged build tools are x86_64.

The automated build script shows you how you can build them yourself: https://github.com/cpp3ds/cpp3ds/blob/travis-fix/.build-deps.sh#L28

You'll need in your PATH: makerom, bannertool, 3dsxtool, and nihstro-assemble

That script just puts them in $DEVKITARM/bin though you can put them in $CPP3DS/bin too if you want.

I also use a 32-bit netbook xD

If it built for you, then you must have already had makerom, bannertool, and nihstro in your PATH?

That script doesn't works properly. I have lots of errors when it executes the makes of various of this programs. Doesn't matter... I'll try in my desktop, but it's more comfortable programming with a netbook/laptop when you aren't at home.

I don't mean to run the script itself, just use the lines that clone and make things. The variables in the beginning of the script are meant for the build system. You just have to build those 4 tools to put in bin directory. This should work:

# Build latest makerom
git clone https://github.com/profi200/Project_CTR.git
cd Project_CTR/makerom && make -j4 && cp makerom $CPP3DS/bin && cd -

# Build latest 3dsxtool
git clone https://github.com/devkitPro/3dstools.git
cd 3dstools && ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make -j4 && cp 3dsxtool $CPP3DS/bin && cd -

# Build latest bannertool
git clone https://github.com/Steveice10/bannertool.git
cd bannertool && cmake . && make -j4 && cp bannertool $CPP3DS/bin && cd -

# Build nihstro
git clone https://github.com/neobrain/nihstro.git
cd nihstro && cmake . && make -j4 && cp nihstro-assemble $CPP3DS/bin && cd -

# Build nihstro

cd nihstro && cmake . && make -j4 && cp nihstro-assemble $CPP3DS/bin && cd -

that's what I did and for example, makerom doesn't work for me. Only I think 3dsxtool and bannertool had work. Now I have a 3dsx and a smdh, but I can't make Cia. And I get rare files with missunderstanding codification. Here screenshots.

Hmm, so when you use make on cpp3ds-template, does it have errors anymore? Or it just succeeds with those weird files being made?

I don't know really well. Here goes the screenshots of the make.
P.S: the 3dsx works very well. I think the only thing I must do now is recompile the tools for the cias. Maybe the tools creates wrong stuff due it's compiling instructions.
Edit: this is what i get when compiling makerom (2nd image)

In the Makefile in makerom directory, try removing all "-m64" flags (line 8 and 22), I think it's trying to build for 64-bit. Seems like an unneeded flag and I'm going to talk to author about it.

I did what you said and when I do make for makerom that's the output. Doesn't matter. 3dsx works fine. Don't worry.
PS. Open with a text editor like Sublime text or Notepad++

Hi, I would like to try cpp3ds, but CMake despite how it advertises to be great for cross-platform is anything but that... I tried this on windows and there is no real way for me to make it work. It gives me errors that I have no clue on how to fix, I would have personally preferred a simple make (install) like sf2dlib, sfillib and sftdlib which all work on both linux and windows without issue. But as this does seem like a really good tool to make games I do really want to try it out, so I was wondering if you could help me fix the issues I'm having with cmake.
Cmake version: 3.5.1
Command used: cmake .. (in build dir)
Error log:

I hope this starts a new wave of 3ds games and ports!

(this does REALLY makes me want to try to start developing a little game, sf2d was great but i didn't want to start a big code base without the oop support)

Will try as soon as i get home

[EDIT]Didn't check the topic start date, never saw the topic and this project before. Well, thanks for the bump! XD

You can use OOP with c++ with sf2d though..., But yeah this is a great framework.

I know, but writing a huge and complete c++ wrapper around sf2d is somewhat boring.
