Coding > How do you change a file .c file to .gba

I have compiled my first gba program and tried executed the make program, but errors keep coming up. Can anyone tell me step-by-step how to convert the file?

Try compiling the Day 1 demo from the Pern project at www.thepernproject.com.

The page has changed recently and the link from our FAQ is broken, as well as the link from the Day 1 page to the file. Go to GBA->Examples and download the .zip from there.

As Dovoto recommends, it's a good idea to read the batch file that does the compiling so you'll get an idea of what you'd have to do yourself.

Of course, you could always just reuse that batch file indefinitely. ^_^

Thank you! After 2 days of not learning to program, I can now continue learning.
