Hey,

I dont know if these is against the rules to ask this (I apologize if it is), but can someone who figured out the infernal setup of the development environment for ndless post a working precompiled copy for download?
I have tried following the compile directions, and got all of the tools set up(YAGARTO and the like), and it sort of compiles, but comes up with errors and fails to finish. I see no reason why one of the devs cant just post an unstable copy (yes, i know that frequent changes are made, but any copy of the Ndless 2.0 is better than no copy). I am sort of getting sick of dealing with OS 1.7 on my Nsipre and having to use the ugly mismatched clickpad (a petty complaint, i know). Is anyone willing to do that for those who lack the time, patience, and luck to successfully compile it themselves?

Ah, i see, that makes a lot more sense, well, ill give compiling another go maybe, and see exactly what error I ran into, it had to do with the nspire-ld component not working.

OK, heres the error I get when I try to build something using msys:(maybe the thread name should be changed, oh well)

I have installed YAGARTO properly, i think? I do have a clean XP system I can redo a setup on, on a seperate partition, I have also tried linux mint, but with even less sucess.

Yeah, its added in the Windows system path, it and Yagarto's stuff are added, here my system path:

C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Stream\bin\x86_64;C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Stream\bin\x86;%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static;C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\yagarto\bin;C:\Users\Greg\Documents\ndless2\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\GTK\2.0\bin

I think thats correct.

Yay! Hello world compiles! You sir, are awesome! . However, i still cant figure out how to get the whole thing to compile so that I get the ndless installer.tns file so I can upgrade to 2.0(or 2.1?) and play Doom.

Can you run a "make clean all" instead of just "make", so that we can see the whole log? It's strange that it can't find "gcc", though...

EDIT: This is definitely a path issue, looking at it again. Give me a few moments to recheck where gcc should be (Yagarto, MSYS, Mingw, I forget...).

EDIT2: You've installed yagarto in C:\Program Files (x86)\, judging by your path. If I remember correctly, Yagarto doesn't like special symbols in its filepath; Try uninstalling Yagarto completely, then reinstalling it in C:\YAGARTO or something similar (avoiding brackets, and also spaces just in case). I remember having some issues on my Win7 box with this.

Hmm, nope, still complaining about MakeLoader.

ok, it got farther this time, however, no more MakeLoader problems, however, heres a new one.

Yeah, I cant get the whole thing pasted in without being rediculously long, isnt it suppposed to be compiling ndless 2.0? not v1.7?
