libwinpthread-1.dll not found issue #16

Closed JLaferri closed 5 years ago

JLaferri commented 5 years ago

I was trying to build the latest version of Nintendont using a fresh GBA, GC, and Wii toolchain install. Hence I had the latest devkitARM devkitPPC and libogc. When trying to build it I would encounter an error that looked like:

make -C multidol
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/Jas/Documents/GitHub/Nintendont/multidol'
 ASSEMBLE    crt0.S
make[1]: *** [Makefile:36: crt0.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/Jas/Documents/GitHub/Nintendont/multidol'
make: *** [Makefile:34: multidol] Error 2

Upon further inspection, I was able to track the error down to: image

I fixed the issue by copying libwinpthread-1.dll from devkitPPC/bin to devkitPPC/libexec/gcc/powerpc-eabi/8.2.0. I then did the same with devkitARM.

Should the windows installer have added something to my path that it left out? Or should this dll exist where I copied it to? Or was there just something wrong with my system?

Please don't copy dlls around. This is an issue with Nintendont. The tools should not be called by full path but rather simply by name with /opt/devkitpro/devkitPPC/bin in PATH. This path should not be added to path permanently due to the potential for collision with powerpc-eabi cross tools for different platforms.

Ideally user projects should include at least /opt/devkitpro/devkitPPC/base_tools - see https://github.com/devkitPro/devkitppc-rules/blob/master/base_tools
