Hacking rxTools Source Code - Compilation Error

[whitefire]

Hello,

I got the rxtools CFW from github and I wanted to compile it myself. I've installed everything mentioned in the readme file. However, something weird it happens when I compile and it makes it to stop and I can't figure out how to solve it. Here is the error:

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Do you have devkitpro installed?

 

[whitefire]

Hello zoogie,

I've installed everything: Devkitpro (DevkitARM), armips in msys folder, GCC and python 2.7 I'm on windows7 of course.

Those two errors make me crazy (readFirmware() and WriteFirmware). I opened the main.cpp in msethax folder and I comment every "readFirmware() & writeFirmware()" function in the code, I exeuted make again and booom!!! I got the rxtools.dat but dirty one. It won't work.

I need your help guys.

Regards,

Hello,

I got it to work I had a problem with my devkitARM installation. However, I wonder why I can't modify rxTools source code since it's source code made public. I mean I want to change the main menu (Launch rxMode -> Launch Emunand) but when I compile the project I got always the original rxTools even if the change is made. Is the main menu protect in some sort ?

Appreciate any explanation.

Thanks.

Oh no. However you would have to clean the rxTools folder, as
cd rxTools; make clean; make; cd ..; make
then it should be updated.
Well don't forget to copy your new rxtools.dat or whatever.
