DS development > installing PAlib

#53783 - Sephiroth87 - Sun Sep 11, 2005 10:10 pm

i've tried to install these libs, to see how they works, and if it's simplier to code...

howewer, when running install.bat, i get tons of error, like parse error before variable definitions...

i'm using the latest verion (0.5c maybye...)

any suggestion?

Now that's weird...

Think you could copy/paste part of the error here ?


You could also check out on http://teamnnc.free.fr/phpBB2/portal.php if there's something. (Arog's tutorials might help)

Code:

 from c:/ndsdev/PAlib/lib/arm7/PA.c:1:
c:/ndsdev/PAlib/lib/arm7/../../include/NDS/arm7/PA_Sound.h:27: error: parse error before "PA_SoundOk"

c:/ndsdev/PAlib/lib/arm7/../../include/NDS/arm7/PA_Sound.h:27: warning: data definition has no type or storage class


other error are similar to this, and after a few of them, the installation exit...

The latest versions (from .42 and up) are made to work with devkitpro, and devkitpro only. (not ndsdev)

I would recommend Aaron Rogers' tutorials.

ok, i'll try that...

#53877 - Sephiroth87 - Mon Sep 12, 2005 10:39 pm

#53879 - Mollusk - Mon Sep 12, 2005 10:45 pm

with arog and kleevah, we updated the template in the PAlib.zip... You could just take out the makefiles from there (3 makefiles, one in the base folder, one in arm9, one in arm7...)

So check out version 0.52a :)

#53881 - Sephiroth87 - Mon Sep 12, 2005 11:00 pm

yahoo!!!
finally PAlibs are installed xD

thank'you very much for the support ;)
keep on the great work!
