ok i downloaded the DevAdvKit and installed it in the root directory, like it said. then i got the VC++ integration kit and installed that. now i can greate GBA projects, but when i go to compile them, i ALWAYS get the error:
"gba test.mak(148) : fatal error U1087: cannot have : and :: dependents for same target"
i have no clue what the hell that means. i've tried all the combinations of headers and stuff that the project wizard gives (of course not pern+anything else) and i always get this error. using VC++ 6 and the newest version of DevKitAdv.

This is a code problem I'd reckon, Im still a n00b but I'd look at your code cuz I had that one too and its because of bad code. I suggest you look at your make file and check all the addresses and make sure you didnt type :: instead of :.

i didn't type the makefile, it's automatically generated by the appwizard. it makes no sense that an automatically generated file doesn't work!
#2202 - Daikath - Fri Jan 31, 2003 3:15 am
I'd still suggest checking the makefile, with me when I use that Appwizard I always have to correct the pathfile to devkitadv manually cuz I get a paragraphe symbol. Maybe this could be another bug that pops out on your configuration as mine does on mine.

thanks daikath, but i'd already corrected that.
this seems to be the problem code:
| Code: |
# -------------------------------------------
# Define each compile;
# -------------------------------------------
{$(SRCDIR)}.cpp.o::
$(CMPDIR)\gcc $(CFLAGS) $<
-@echo ------------------------------------------
-@echo CPP-Sources Compiled
-@echo ------------------------------------------
{$(SRCDIR)}.c.o::
$(CMPDIR)\gcc $(CFLAGS) $<
-@echo ------------------------------------------
-@echo C-sources Compiled
-@echo ------------------------------------------
# -------------------------------------------
# Define each assemble;
# -------------------------------------------
{$(SRCDIR)}.s.o:
$(CMPDIR)\as $(SFLAGS) $(SRCDIR)\$*.s -o$@
-@echo ------------------------------------------
-@echo ASM-Sources Compiled
-@echo ------------------------------------------ |
the lines:
{$(SRCDIR)}.cpp.o::
{$(SRCDIR)}.c.o::
{$(SRCDIR)}.s.o:
are what seem to be giving the trouble. changing them all to :: or all to : gives the error "NMAKE : fatal error U1071: cycle in dependency tree for target 'gba'". AAAA

Sorry to say it but my code is exactly the same, i found a email addres in it fi you needed help with the make file ( whatzdat_pimp@hotmail.com ), maybe he knows how to fix it.

Where can I get this integration kit for VC++?
I use VC++ for win32 programming and gcc (build from the PERN Project) for compiling gba stuff. Is there a way so VC++ can use gcc to compile gba stuff? Will this interfere when I want to compile Win32 programs? If not, how will VC++ know whether I want to compile using gcc or the Microsoft compiler?
Thanks for any answers to these questions :)
#2362 - Daikath - Sun Feb 02, 2003 2:14 pm
You can get it under tools --> misc tools at http://www.gbadev.org, you get to choose GBA project from other project so it wont interfere with other compiling issues.

from the readme :
| Quote: |
Also to keep things working correctly and minimize errors,
make sure the paths to devkitadv and your project?s source files
do not have spaces in them; this is known to cause problems.

i noticed you called your project "gba test"... maybe its because it has a space?
#2380 - DrakeX - Sun Feb 02, 2003 7:41 pm
you know what, i bet you're right. not to mention the full path is "C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ADMINISTRATOR\DESKTOP\MINE\C++ PROJECTS\gbatest\" :D damn win2k and its stupid place for the desktop..
yep that's it :D thank you!! it works now. now to get coding..

lol ;)

Yes, some of these Windows folder names are really annoying. But at least M$ gave us a workaround with 8.3 versions of long filenames. For example,
"C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ADMINISTRATOR\DESKTOP\MINE\C++ PROJECTS\gbatest\"
can probable be written as
C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINISTRATOR\DESKTOP\C__PRO~1\gbatest\
so there's no problem with spaces

I wouldn't say Microsoft gave us a workaround with 8.3 filenames! :) Microsoft sucks, end of discussion.. =)
