devkitARM release 44 and libraries

Post by WinterMute » Sun Feb 15, 2015 6:38 pm

New binaries for devkitARM release 44 and updated libraries are now available through the Automated Installer/Updater if you're on windows, for other platforms check the Getting Started page on the wiki.

NOTE: 3DS applications now need to be built with -mfloat-abi=hard, if you get " cannot find 3dsx_crt0.o: No such file or directory" on linking then look for -mfloat-abi=softfp in your Makefile, change it to mfloat-abi=hard then rebuild everything. If you get <file> uses VFP register arguments, <otherfile> does not then make clean & make sure you rebuild everything with -mfloat-abi=hard.

Delete the .bz2 files and try it again. There was some issue with SF again and the installer was downloading html pages for a few hours.

Went and re-installed devkitpro, but it seems Avast is identifying false positives, preventing various parts of the installation from being installed/written (like bin2s within devkitARM), so I had to uninstall that and go with another free anti-virus program. Trying out Panda. At least it doesn't give the false positives that Avast was giving.

Is the libctru section of the forum supposed to be accessible?

I was wondering that too. Says I don't have permissions to read that forum, yet I can log out and read it. Was hoping to ask a question regarding shaders, but I can't (at least not there).

That's really quite annoying. I tried https://www.metascan-online.com with a few of the toolchain files and apparently something called ByteHero says all the exes are Trojan.Win32.Heur.Gen even with files that have never been near a windows machine (all the windows toolchains are cross compiled from linux).

I just fixed the permissions in there. Really not sure what went wrong with that - must've messed it up when I fixed the access for people not logged in. Sorry.
