I am intruiged to know if I can setup VC++ to compile the binaries without using any third party library, i.e no DevKit or no HamLib, obviously I need to use the GCC compiler but I dont want to create my own library from scratch (purely educational!) is this possible? If so what would the makefile look like for a simple application with a .cpp file? The makefile must be compatible with Visual Studio (7 if possible) Im not a makefile expert!

Cheers, James

Go to www.gbadev.org and select tools -> misc -> Gba Apwizard. Then you'll be able to select GBA project once you open a new project. At least that is the theory since it works on my Visual Studio 6.

devkitadvance is not a library, though it does contain several. You don't need to link to any library to use it.

I use devkitadvance to compile my code and use no libraries at all (I'm writing a freestanding operating system) and it all works fine.
