Having trouble compiling

Closed this issue 3 years ago · 17 comments

I'm trying to compile, but I get the following message:
[Compiling] obj/CGBChannel.o
make: g++: No such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:48: obj/CGBChannel.o] Error 127

Do you happen to have spaces somewhere in the repository path?

Answer 2 · 2021-10-30T17:47:09.000Z

The path I'm using is /cygdrive/c/cygwin64/agb-master. When I type in make, I get the error I mentioned in the original post. As far as I can tell, the path does not have any spaces.

Can you try to edit the Makefile, remove the @ in the line that contains $(CXX), run make again, and show what the actual command line is that fails?

I did that, and here's the error I got:
[Compiling] obj/CGBChannel.o
g++ -c -o obj/CGBChannel.o src/CGBChannel.cpp -Wall -Wextra -Wconversion -Wunreachable-code -std=c++17 -O3 -g
make: g++: No such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:48: obj/CGBChannel.o] Error 127

Is there a directory called "obj" in your agbplay folder?

Answer 6 · 2021-11-01T13:20:04.000Z

Yes. It was included in the zip file, and I didn't delete it.

Oh, do you have gcc-g++ installed and selected in the Cygwin Updater/Installer?

Answer 8 · 2021-11-03T23:20:48.000Z

I don't. I'll install it and see if anything changes.

I was able to create the .exe, but when I try to open it, it says the code execution cannot proceed because cygportaudio-2.dll and cygjsoncpp-24.dll were not found. I made sure I have both of them installed, and I tried reinstalling the versions I have, but it keeps giving me the same error messages.

How do you launch the program?

Answer 11 · 2021-11-08T18:52:50.000Z

I tried opening the .exe by double-clicking on it, and I get the error messages, but now it just says "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)."

Since agbplay is compiled under the Cygwin environment, you also have to run it from the Cygwin environment. You need the command line anyway to specify the file to load.

Answer 13 · 2021-11-08T19:11:13.000Z

I see. What do I need to type in to open it?

Answer 14 · 2021-11-08T20:25:26.000Z

Run the program by typing ./agbplay /path/top/rom.gba inthe corresponding directory.

Answer 15 · 2021-11-08T21:17:07.000Z

Okay, but now when I try to load a ROM in, it says "Terminal does not support 256 colors."

Answer 16 · 2021-11-08T22:32:32.000Z

Right click on the titlebar of the Cygwin Terminal
Click Options
Select "Terminal" in the tree view
Change Type to "xterm-256color"

Answer 17 · 2021-11-08T23:29:10.000Z

That fixed it. I tested it out with a few ROMs, and it doesn't look like I have any further issues. If there are, I'll open a new issue. Thanks for everything!
