I havnt got a clue how to add the sdk into vc++, is there a tool to do this inside the program or what? :(
 
All you really need to do is map a tool (Tools --> Customise: Select the tools tab) to the file make.exe that is within the devkitadv\bin\ directory.

Also make sure that you add a filepath to where your SDK include files are within the Directories tab on the same userform.

All you need then is a makefile in the same directory as your source files and you should be away.

Hope this helps

:)
 
sorry for being annoying, and i appreciate that help, but assume me a complete dummy, whats a makefile and include files. i saw it in the program but could not figure it out. Is it something which has to be common to the files in order for it to work? thanks for your help as it is though :D
 
The include files are the elements of the SDK that you wish to include in your code. Eg you would include gpgraphic.h to access the SDK graphic routines.

They are typically located in devkitadv/arm-agb-elf/include/gp32/

A Makefile tells the compiler how to compile the file into a executable (very simply put as they confuse the hell out of me still :p )

If you search the forums I'm sure there has been several topics explaining them better.

I usually just nick one from somewhere else and play about with a couple of bits I understand (in notepad) such as the filename to be generated.

Hopefully someone else may post an answer a bit more helpful ;)
 
Are you trying to use the gp32 sdk in vc++ so you can develope windows apps first to test your theory's, etc before recompiling for the gp32, or are you simply trying to use vc++ as your IDE with ADS or DKA as your build tool?
