Install devkitProUpdater-1.5.4
Run DevKitPro's MSYS.BAT to generate a Windows Username folder, "VMTake2" in devkitpro\msys\home
Copy ctrulib-0.5.0 from its compressed zip and into the devkitpro\msys\home\VMTake2 folder
use MSYS.bat to successfully "make" ctrulib\examples\graphics\printing\hello-world
OK, so that works...
Download: sf2dlib-master.zip
https://github.com/xerpi/sf2dlib
Extract to sf2dlib-master.zip devkitpro\msys\home\VMTake2 folder
attempt to "make install" in "C:\devkitPro\msys\home\VMTake2\sf2dlib-master\libsf2d" and fail due to "can't open file C:\devkitPro\msys\aemstro_as.py"
Download aemstro-master.zip
https://github.com/smealum/aemstro
extract aemstro.py, aemstro_as.py, and test.vsh from aemstro-master.zip into C:\devkitPro\msys
reattempt "make install" in "C:\devkitPro\msys\home\VMTake2\sf2dlib-master\libsf2d" and get a ton of errors.... (check attached image)
in last-ditch effort to get this to work I copied aemstro.py, aemstro_as.py, and test.vsh from aemstro-master.zip into every single directory of libsf2d
Attempted "make install" one last time and got error
>No rule to make target 'aemstro.py.o, needed by 'home/VMTake2/sf2dlib-master/libsf2d/lib/libsf2d.a'. Stop
