/opt/devkitpro is not user writable. If you want to compile the examples copy them somewhere that's writable.

I've also moved out the sources from /opt/devkitpro with no success.
The problem is that file /opt/devkitpro/calico/bin/ds7_maine.elf is missing and i don't know how to produce it/retrieve it

Any ideas?

Don't redefine the DEVKITPRO & DEVKITARM variables when compiling. These should be set in your environment already.

Run the following command to ensure your devkit install is up to date and all required components are installed.

Code: Select all

sudo dkp-pacman -S nds-dev --needed
