Cannot Compile

[RintaDev5792]

Operating system or device - Godot version:
Windows - Latest Godot 3DS

Issue description (what happened, and what was expected):
Trying to build godot with
scons p=3ds -j4 target=release
but it gives me

scons: *** [main\tests\test_python.3ds.opt.32.o] The system cannot find the file specified
scons: *** [modules\register_module_types.gen.3ds.opt.32.o] The system cannot find the file specified
scons: *** [modules\chibi\cp_envelope.3ds.opt.32.o] The system cannot find the file specified
scons: building terminated because of errors.

this is because those files do not exist anymore in the project.

Steps to reproduce:

Try to compile

[SeleDreams]

Could you try to compile with -j1?
It kinda feels like there is an issue of compilation order from my perspective

[RintaDev5792]

Thank you for the quick response!
Now it outputs:

scons: done reading SConscript files.
scons: Building targets ...
[Initial build] Compiling ==> platform\3ds\godot_3ds.cpp
scons: *** [platform\3ds\godot_3ds.3ds.opt.32.o] The system cannot find the file specified
scons: building terminated because of errors.

sorry if this is a common error I am new to this.

It kinda seems like it's looking for a file it is supposed to create?

[SeleDreams]

To me it feels more like a compilation error occurs but is not getting logged

[RintaDev5792]

You definitely know better than I do.
I looked up the issue but it's specific to just this repository it looks like.

[SeleDreams]

I checked, the issue occurs because of bad devkitpro environment variables.
You need the DEVKITPRO env variable to lead to the right path of the devkitpro sdk, by default it leads to /opt/devkitPro
but it is incorrect

[SeleDreams]

By setting the right path it compiles

[RintaDev5792]

Oh ok. Thank you! I will try to find where that is!

[SeleDreams]

on my windows install, devkitpro is located at C:\devkitPro so I used this path

[SeleDreams]

also after changing the path reboot your computer as powershell tends to store paths until a reboot is done (it might still try to use the old path after the change)

[RintaDev5792]

Ah ok, I found it.
Thank you so much for helping so quickly!

[RintaDev5792]

Oh uh sorry but now it's giving

[Initial build] scons: *** [drivers\3ds\citro3d\shaders\2d.shbin] The system cannot find the file specified
Compiling ==> drivers\alsa\audio_driver_alsa.cpp
scons: *** [drivers\3ds\citro3d\shaders\3d.shbin] The system cannot find the file specified
scons: building terminated because of errors.

Only reason I can think of is DevkitPPC isn't in my devkitpro directory so it isnt set properly in my env variables

[RintaDev5792]

actually all of citro3d folder just doesn't exist

[SeleDreams]

those are mostly shader compilation issues actually, most likely because C:\devkitPro\tools\bin isn't in your PATH variable

[SeleDreams]

as it calls picasso to compile the shaders to shbin, if it doesn't find the shbin it's that it failed to compile them

[RintaDev5792]

Ok it's not done yet but it's been a few minutes and it hasn't stopped yet so I think that worked.

[RintaDev5792]

Nope.
Finished with error

I'm also suffering the same problem. The only difference is this extra line i marked with a red arrow:

[LeoMassaFM]

I think I have a solution (thanks Sele!): go to C:\devkitPro\msys2 and open the file named "msys2_shell.bat". Once opened, type the following commands:
pacman -S 3ds-zlib
pacman -S 3ds-bzip2
pacman -S 3ds-libpng
After that, try compiling again with scons p=3ds -j4 target=release
If that doesn't work, replace -j4 with -j1
If that also doesn't work, I'm sorry.

Hi, when I try to compile godot for 3ds it gives me this error:

Can you help me ?

[FreindlyNeighborhoodBeetle]

hopefully you see this, since this looked sorta abandoned right up until the update a day or two ago, but ive been getting this error whenever i try to compile the thing, ive done all the suggested things and it was working completely fine right up until here

[squach90]

yes, I have see this and thanks you for helping me

[FreindlyNeighborhoodBeetle]

so apparantly if you build the windows one through visual studio it works fine but building for 3ds is still broken for a completely different reason now
