How do you build this?

[redthing1]

The instructions are unclear

Would you be able to give a quick overview of how to build? I'm on Linux, with all the DevkitARM stuff installed

When I run with CMake i get this:

❯ cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$(pwd)/devkitarm.cmake .
-- Configuring done
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:279 (add_executable):
  Cannot find source file:

Oops, looks like I forgot to commit a file! Sorry I'll fix it soon.

I committed the missing infestor.cc file. Sorry about that!

I usually set up the project by running cmake -DGBA_AUTOBUILD_IMG=ON -DGBA_AUTOBUILD_CONF=ON -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$(pwd)/devkitarm.cmake .

But this command attempts to automatically rebuild image files, which isn't strictly necessary, so you can instead run: cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$(pwd)/devkitarm.cmake .

Furthermore, the engine ROM does not build with the dependent LISP scripts. Parts of the game are written in a custom version of LISP that I developed for my gba projects, and then injected into the prebuild engine rom, so to build a working ROM, you need to run make like this, basically: make && ./bundle.sh

Sorry that the build process doesn't really have good instructions, I made the project for a game jam, and didn't get around to writing build steps.

Thank you! I will try it later today

Sadly, I got a new error:

❯ cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$(pwd)/devkitarm.cmake .

Sorry again, this time I actually cloned the repository myself, and fixed all of the missing file issues. Should be ok now (hopefully!)

[redthing1]

Thank you!

[redthing1]

Works perfectly now!
