It seems you must copy the default.elf AND default.arm7 into the libnds repository…
(currently the default_arm7 aur package miss the .elf one)

oops forgot to mention that it the default.elf file has to go into the libnds directory

OK i’ve figured out the problem with
linking hello_world.elf
built … hello_world.arm9
Nintendo DS rom tool 1.46 – Dec 2 2009
by Rafael Vuijk, Dave Murphy, Alexei Karpenko
failed to open input file
make[1]: *** [/opt/devkitpro/examples/hello_world/hello_world.nds] Error 1
make: *** [build] Error 2

I hacked the living hell out of the ndstool and found out it is looking for
default.elf
I found it lying around in my /opt/devkitpro/ directory and i suspect that others will too.

Hope this helps

Thanks to all!
I fiddled with this for a bit tonight, and with your posts, I was able to get it working.
I used the binaries for devkitARM, libnds, libfat-nds, and dswifi as well as the default-arm7.
with:
devkitPro
|_devkitARM
|_libnds
| |_
| |_
| |_
|_examples

I am able to make most of the examples on 32 bit install of OpenSuse 11.1 on my laptop. The key for me was getting the default-arm7 into the libnds for the examples.

Again Many thanks!

I am on a mac and tried to follow your instructions to the dot. I thought I had installed everything in the right way, but when I try to compile the helloworld example, I get Errors that say things are wrong with the code itself, like:

It hasn’t even started linking when I get the error.

Just downloaded, nice work, looking forward to using this (well not really because I hate ORA-600’s, but glad to have it in my toolbox now!)

Comment on Using devkitARM and libnds with Visual Studio 2005 by Bacioiu Ciprian

I copied everything as you said, but when I type in Make in the CMD, it outputs the following:
1>Performing Makefile project actions
1>basename: extra operand `Settings/Bacioiu’
1>Try `basename –help’ for more information.
1>make[1]: /c/Documents: No such file or directory
1>make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/c/Documents’. Stop.
1>make: *** [build] Error 2
1>Build log was saved at “file://c:\Documents and Settings\Bacioiu Ciprian\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\reaction\Debug\BuildLog.htm”
1>Reaction – 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Thing is, it works if i Don’t actually copy the template to another folder, and make the project there! Any idea why this is happening?

Thanks for the reply! It’s working now. Turns out all I needed to do was re-boot… -_-

The project builds and I can get it to run on the DeSmuME emulator! (But not Dualis, for some reason).

I’ve read on another article that you recommend PAlib, so I think I’ll try that.

Thanks a bunch!
