DS development > vista x64 + devkitpro

If anyone has successfully built anything using devkitPro on a vista 64 system, please tell me how :)
I've tried building some examples, but make does absolutely nothing, just freezes without output (adding the suggested paths to the environment doesnt help either).

I'll be interested in this too. As a work around I might install VirtualPC.

apparently the next release of devkitpro will support workarounds for the disaster that is vista.

Unfortunately Vista is not yet a supported environment for the devkitPro toolchains.

My current devkitARM release 21 test build works on 32bit Vista without the path "fixes" which have been suggested elsewhere. For what it's worth, these path changes will cause some problems for users who have them applied when r21 is released.

From discussion on the msys mailing list Vista64 support may have to wait for new msys snapshot. http://www.nabble.com/MSYS-and-Vista-64-tf3292881.html#a9158947

devkitARM r21 will also clean and fold your underwear.

It does? What's the command line switch for that? :P
