Can you please help me with this folder makefile issue

[NeoGeoFreak2004]

Hey there, so I am trying to build a program using a makefile in my own Directory but then when I type “make gngeo” it gives me a makefile error or something, so can you help me please!

[dciabrin]

Have you build your program yet with "make"?
Can you paste the output of make gngeo?

[NeoGeoFreak2004]

Makefile:22: ../Makefile.common: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target '../Makefile.common'. Stop.

[dciabrin]

Instead of using the Makefile copied from ./examples (which is a direct git checkout of ngdevkit-examples), can you try to replace your copied makefile with the standalone example that is available at https://github.com/dciabrin/ngdevkit-examples/tree/standalone/00-standalone?

This example makefile is a bit different from what you most probably copied, because it directly include Makefile.common in your local directory, rather the top directory as your error reported. Please make sure to follow the instruction that I gave you in #53: you need to adapt makefiles from 00-standalone and have the ngdevkit toolchain in your path as explained.

That indicates that the rom is not built in this directory. You either haven't run "make" before, or the compilation failed somewhere.
Can you type "make" and see what the output is?
