I am trying to set up devkitPro for ARM use, but I continuously get an error while executing the last two commands. The commands are make and make install.

The tutorials I am following:

When I get to the make command, it gives me this error:

/opt/devkitPro/ctrulib/libctru$ sudo make
Makefile:6: *** ***"Please set DEVKITARM in your environment. export DEVKITARM=<path to>devkitARM".  Stop.

In the tutorials, it tells me to put that the following commands in my .bashrc, so I did, bit it will not work still.

export DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitpro
export DEVKITARM=$DEVKITPRO/devkitARM

Try:

sudo DEVKITARM=$DEVKITPRO/devkitARM make

Though I must say that make doesn't usually require sudo. You probably need it because you're working off /opt, where files are usually owned by root, so it might be simpler to chown as neeeded and run just make:

sudo chown $USER /opt/devkitPro/ -R

  • I did those commands, and the first one gave me an error back. Am I supposed to do it in a special directory? The second did not give an error, but can you tell me what it did? bbnorman@bbnorman-Veriton-M460:/opt/devkitPro/ctrulib/libctru$ sudo DEVKITARM=$DEVKITPRO/devkitARM make Makefile:9: /opt/devkitpro/devkitARM/base_rules: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target `/opt/devkitpro/devkitARM/base_rules'. Stop. bbnorman@bbnorman-Veriton-M460:/opt/devkitPro/ctrulib/libctru$ sudo chown $USER /opt/devkitPro/ -R bbnorman@bbnorman-Veriton-M460:/opt/devkitPro/ctrulib/libctru$ – Brendon Jan 13 '15 at 00:21
  • @Brendon it changes the owner of those files to your user, so that you can modify files without needing sudo. As to the error, I think there might be some problem in your DEVKITARM path or in your installation of devkitARM. Either way, the variable works fine. – muru Jan 13 '15 at 00:23
  • Okay, should I give you my devkitARM folder location? Maybe you can help me put it in there. Also, should I be editing my .bashrc in home or bash.bashrc in etc? – Brendon Jan 13 '15 at 00:25
  • @Brendon You have already given the location, haven't you? (/opt/devkitPro/devkitARM?) As for setting variables, see: http://askubuntu.com/q/4667/158442 – muru Jan 13 '15 at 00:30
  • I will in the meantime. My devkitARM folder location: /opt/devkitPro/devkitARM. The location my environment points to: export DEVKITPRO=/opt/devkitPro export DEVKITARM=/opt/devkitPro/devkitARM – Brendon Jan 13 '15 at 00:32
  • I tried make without sudo and it worked. I then switched into root user mode with sudo -s and did the make install. It seems that it is all installed, but I am completely unsure if this was supposed to output a program? – Brendon Jan 13 '15 at 00:38
  • @Brendon the output of make install should be a list of files it copied to some location. You can inspect that to see if a program was created. – muru Jan 13 '15 at 00:39
  • Output:

    root@bbnorman-Veriton-M460:/opt/devkitPro/ctrulib/libctru# make install make[1]: `/opt/devkitPro/ctrulib/libctru/lib/libctru.a' is up to date. mkdir -p /opt/devkitPro/libctru bzip2 -cd libctru-0.3.0.tar.bz2 | tar -x -C /opt/devkitPro/libctru

  • I suppose I should state this is for 3DS homebrew development in C++. I assumed this all would output some sort of IDE so I could compile my code into a .3DSX, but I suppose not. The creators did not document things all that well. I know it is asking a bit much, but could you try to install it and look around? – Brendon Jan 13 '15 at 00:44
  • @Brendon The "Setting up .." page mentions Netbeans (which is an IDE), and doesn't talk of any other IDE. libctru is, as the name suggests, a library, so it's not surprising nothing runnable was created. You should consider installing a C++ IDE. I could try, but it would take me a while since I don't have a Linux system on hand. – muru Jan 13 '15 at 00:53
  • @Brendon Also check if there are any 3dsx files in /opt/devkitPro/libctru, where the make install command extracted some things to. – muru Jan 13 '15 at 00:54
  • I currently just write C++ in gedit, save as .cpp, and compile through my terminal with the use of g++. Would this allow me to do the same in terminal, but export as a .3DSX? Also, it'd be very appreciated. – Brendon Jan 13 '15 at 00:55
  • It looks like there is just a million header files in the libctru folder. – Brendon Jan 13 '15 at 00:58
  • I asked someone on gbatemp, and they said it should not output an IDE, just like you explained to me it would not. They said that I can write it in whatever I choose and make it in the terminal. I'm still a bit lost. – Brendon Jan 13 '15 at 01:04
