Coding > Visual Studio 6.0 DevKitARM Project File

#27622 - Celeryface - Sun Oct 17, 2004 1:41 pm

Does anyone have a project file for Visual Studio 6.0 that will allow me to compile and build with DevKitARM?

I've been using Visual HAM as my IDE, but I like the Visual Assit add-in that I have for Visual Studio.

Also, will the project file allow me to easily add files to the project?

Thanks in advance. :)

I wouldn't say there is a project file you could use, but Makefiles are the thing with VS. Check on the forums, you'll find them. I posted the Makefile that I use on one the the threads.

The makefiles in the sample programs at www.devkit.tk might be helpful. Although I don't know if they're compatible with MS's make or not.

Oh, sorry, you said project file not makefile. On the main gbadev.org page, Go to the tools->misc tools section and get "GBA Project Appwizard" and "VCMake". I've been using those together for awhile and they seem ok. Although, the stuff GBA Project Appwizard generates is a little bit out of date, I think was made for the old DevKitAdvance instead of DevKitARM, but it should be a good starting point. The makefile in particular needs a little tweaking to work right, but see if the makefiles from the samples on www.devkit.tk will work (I haven't tried).

Is there a template project that you can load into Visual Studio that has all the settings ready to go, or do you make a project each time with the makefile and add your source files to that?
