Unable to compile the source

[eisnerguy1]

So, I'm trying to compile the latest source. I've to RGBDS installed: "brew info rgbds
==> rgbds: stable 0.6.1 (bottled), HEAD Rednex GameBoy Development System https://rgbds.gbdev.io /usr/local/Cellar/rgbds/0.6.1 (29 files, 1.5MB) * Poured from bottle on 2023-01-12 at 15:53:55 From: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/HEAD/Formula/rgbds.rb License: MIT ==> Dependencies Build: bison ✔, cmake ✔, pkg-config ✔, rust ✘ Required: libpng ✔ ==> Options --HEAD Install HEAD version ==> Caveats zsh completions have been installed to: /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions ==> Analytics install: 170 (30 days), 566 (90 days), 1,223 (365 days) install-on-request: 170 (30 days), 566 (90 days), 1,223 (365 days) build-error: 6 (30 days)"

Yet, when I run the "make" command, I get a bunch of syntax errors: "make Compiling src/puzzle.asm error: src/puzzle.asm(20) -> src/hardware.inc(32): syntax error, unexpected set error: src/puzzle.asm(20) -> src/hardware.inc(34): [-Werror=obsolete] rev_Check_hardware_inc: MACRO is deprecated; use MACRO rev_Check_hardware_inc error: src/puzzle.asm(20) -> src/hardware.inc(901): [-Werror=obsolete] NINTENDO_LOGO: MACRO is deprecated; use MACRO NINTENDO_LOGO error: src/puzzle.asm(21) -> src/macros.inc(28): [-Werror=obsolete] if_eq: MACRO is deprecated; use MACRO if_eq error: src/puzzle.asm(21) -> src/macros.inc(50): [-Werror=obsolete] if_ne: MACRO is deprecated; use MACRO if_ne error: src/puzzle.asm(21) -> src/macros.inc(72): [-Werror=obsolete] if_lt: MACRO is deprecated; use MACRO if_lt error: src/puzzle.asm(21) -> src/macros.inc(94): [-Werror=obsolete] if_ge: MACRO is deprecated; use MACRO if_ge error: src/puzzle.asm(21) -> src/macros.inc(115): [-Werror=obsolete] if_cgb: MACRO is deprecated; use MACRO if_cgb error: src/puzzle.asm(21) -> src/macros.inc(134): [-Werror=obsolete] if_dmg: MACRO is deprecated; use MACRO if_dmg error: src/puzzle.asm(21) -> src/macros.inc(156): [-Werror=obsolete] deref: MACRO is deprecated; use MACRO deref error: src/puzzle.asm(21) -> src/macros.inc(180): [-Werror=obsolete] ldb: MACRO is deprecated; use MACRO ldb error: src/puzzle.asm(21) -> src/macros.inc(195): [-Werror=obsolete] ldw: MACRO is deprecated; use MACRO ldw error: src/puzzle.asm(21) -> src/macros.inc(212): [-Werror=obsolete] mult: MACRO is deprecated; use MACRO mult error: src/puzzle.asm(21) -> src/macros.inc(230): [-Werror=obsolete] neg: MACRO is deprecated; use MACRO neg error: src/puzzle.asm(21) -> src/macros.inc(248): [-Werror=obsolete] romb: MACRO is deprecated; use MACRO romb error: src/puzzle.asm(21) -> src/macros.inc(263): [-Werror=obsolete] xld: MACRO is deprecated; use MACRO xld error: src/puzzle.asm(21) -> src/macros.inc(281): [-Werror=obsolete] xcall: MACRO is deprecated; use MACRO xcall error: src/puzzle.asm(21) -> src/macros.inc(299): [-Werror=obsolete] zcall: MACRO is deprecated; use MACRO zcall error: src/puzzle.asm(21) -> src/macros.inc(311): [-Werror=obsolete] COPY_FROM_CURR: MACRO is deprecated; use MACRO COPY_FROM_CURR error: src/puzzle.asm(21) -> src/macros.inc(324): [-Werror=obsolete] COPY_FROM_ROMX: MACRO is deprecated; use MACRO COPY_FROM_ROMX error: src/puzzle.asm(21) -> src/macros.inc(341): [-Werror=obsolete] COPY_FROM_ROM0: MACRO is deprecated; use MACRO COPY_FROM_ROM0 error: src/puzzle.asm(21) -> src/macros.inc(354): [-Werror=obsolete] COPY_FROM_SAME: MACRO is deprecated; use MACRO COPY_FROM_SAME error: src/puzzle.asm(21) -> src/macros.inc(367): [-Werror=obsolete] PLAY_SFX1: MACRO is deprecated; use MACRO PLAY_SFX1 error: src/puzzle.asm(21) -> src/macros.inc(379): [-Werror=obsolete] PLAY_SFX4: MACRO is deprecated; use MACRO PLAY_SFX4 error: src/puzzle.asm(21) -> src/macros.inc(391): [-Werror=obsolete] PLAY_SONG: MACRO is deprecated; use MACRO PLAY_SONG error: Assembly aborted (1 error)! make: *** [out/obj/puzzle.o] Error 1"

Am I missing something?

Hmm, it looks like I've been using rgbasm v0.4.1. Apparently the assembler syntax has changed in more recent versions? I probably need to update my code.

In the meantime, you might be able to get it to build with the newer version of RGBDS by removing the -Werror flag from the Makefile, and maybe also replacing src/hardware.inc with a more recent version.

Both those suggestions worked!

Thanks! 😄 👍🏻
