Hm. Usually when I do a fresh install I have the option for devkitARM alongside devkitPPC and whatnot .-.
Well, fwiw here's the standalone devkitARM installers:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/devkitpro/files/devkitARM/
Download Python: Check
Download DevkitPro: Check
Download DevkitARM: Check
Create a directory called 'build' in the project root, to go along with the 'assets' and 'src' folders: Using what program? I assume DevkitARM, but when I open the directory, and look for anything that resembles an exe, I get a whole bunch of iconless programs that don't seem to have to do with what I'm trying to do. No graphical interface or anything I could possibly reference from here. The rest of the devkit seems to have exes that function like standard programs, but the arm does not.
The mental image I get when reading your instructions is that we're supposed to download python to ensure that the Dev Kit works properly. The Dev Kit already includes MAKE (which we don't technically ever use in the creation of this gba file other than in the code), used to make sure we can't copy the way you created the files, see the source code etc. (at least that's what I read that MAKE does)
From there, we are supposed to open the devkitARM and a graphical interface pops up, and we are supposed to create a directory with the interface called build, and we are supposed to place everything from the files we downloaded into the root. We are supposed to throw our rom into the root as well, and then we are supposed to press shift + right click in order to open a cmd prompt type thing and then we are supposed to copy and paste the code you provide in order to make the devkit spit out a working rom.
My problem is the devkitARM. If I'm missing anything else in my understanding of this, I would appreciate you filling me in. If this is something that is purely cmd prompt based, and the roots and directories are physical folders somewhere on our computer, I would appreciate if that was explained as well.
Also sorry, this has all probably come off as snappy. I'm overly joyed for all of this stuff to be out, and I guess I'm a bit excited to see it all play out. I might be getting a bit impatient with the instructions, so just know no ill will is intended. I'm just stoked at what all of you have done; Excited to see it work.
