[Tool] Cygwin and Pokemon Gold/Silver

[goonch07]

I think I may have almost posted this in the wrong forum - I hope I got it right this time.

I am very new to rom hacking (few days) and I played around a little with scripting in FireRed, but I want to get into Gen II hacking (specifically gold/silver). I wanted to try the Pokegold Disassembly and I installed Cygwin according to the INSTALL.md on the github. I get an error when I use the "make" command:
make: *** No rule to make target 'wram_gold.o', needed by 'pokegold.gbc'. Stop.

Pokered works fine and Pokecrystal works fine, but not Gold/Silver. Anyone else experience this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

EDIT: In addition to this, is it not possible to create new maps or insert additional person events into existing maps in Gold/Silver/Crystal?

 

[Crystal_]

Pokegold is not buildable yet, as far as I know. It also hasn't been worked on in the last months apparently. You'll have to stick to pokecrystal.

Adding new person events in pokecrystal is relatively simple. Here's an example of adding an static pokemon encounter: https://github.com/SlimmerGit/pokecrystal/commit/bf36851b. Adding people that just talk is even easier because their script is simpler.
