Tips on what to include in your question:
- Windows 11 C_API/Examples/Hello World no longer compiles
- Windows 11
- I have closely followed the setup instructions for building the program for the Playdate device using NMake described here: Inside Playdate with C including setting the user environment variables
PLAYDATE_SDK_PATH=C:\Users\robert\Documents\PlaydateSDK
PATH=$PATH:C:\Program Files (x86)\Arm GNU Toolchain arm-none-eabi\12.3 rel1\bin:C:\Program Files\CMake\bin:%USERPROFILE%\Documents\PlaydateSDK\bin
I was able to build once, and deploy both to the Playdate Simulator, and also directly to the Playdate Device. However, upon cleaning and rebuilding, the executable is no longer properly generated. It seems to be missing from the hello_world.pdx directory. When I try loading in the Simulator once more, it says "Loading Failed" with options "Retry", "Launcher" and "Cancel".
4. I've tried uninstalling, deleting and reinstalling the Playdate SDK (v2.0.3). I've also tried setting up the project again from scratch by restoring it to the original state. I don't receive a compiler error. I'll include the attached log output for the "cmake .. -G..." step and the "nmake" step.
