C++ compile issue

[NeoGeoFreak2004]

hey yall, so anyways i was trying to compile my own c++ code using ngdevkit but when i type make into the terminal it gives me a error. The error says: g++ -c -o main.o main.cpp
/usr/bin/m68k-neogeo-elf-gcc -o rom.elf main.o pkg-config --libs ngdevkit
main.o: file not recognized: file format not recognized
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [Makefile:17: rom.elf] Error 1
idk what this means so can you please help me with this error!

Hey, can you give me a answer why I’m getting this error.

From the look of your command line, you tried to compile your main.cpp with a c++ compiler that's not built by ngdevkit. So it won't produce m68k-elf suitable for linking by m68k-neogeo-elf-gcc

Support for c++ has been dropped in git a long time ago.

@NeoGeoFreak2004 maybe you could use the docker version #102 as a workaround for while.
I have tried the same command inside the container and the result was:

pkg-config --list-all | sort | grep ngevkit
ngdevkit               ngdevkit - Opensource development for the Neo-Geo

and

pkg-config --libs ngdevkit
-L/ngdevkit/local/m68k-neogeo-elf/lib -specs ngdevkit-specs -lngdevkit

I've now published https://github.com/dciabrin/ngdevkit-examples/tree/master/17-hello-c%2B%2B to show how to build a minimal C++ program with the devkit. It should be sufficiently straightforward.

Closing this ticket accordingly.
