old wiisprite question.

There i was fat dumb and happy coding apps for my wii using an older version of devkitPro when i wanted to start playing with sounds. I noticed that a lot of the posts mentioned that sound stuff was easier with the new release of devkitPro.

So i updated.

But then all hell broke loose. NONE of my old stuff compiles anymore due to the wiisprite lib not being in the new versions of devkitPro.

I've seen a number of posts here about the problem when it first occured (6 months ago) but have been unable to find a solution.

PLEASE does anyone know how to fix my problem?

Originally i got this error after i updated:

> "make" 
linking ... helo.elf
c:/devkitpro/devkitppc/bin/../lib/gcc/powerpc-gekko/4.2.4/../../../../powerpc-gekko/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lwiisprite

make[1]: *** [/c/projects/wii/helo/helo.elf] Error 1
"make": *** [build] Error 2

Then i found this topic where Arikado had recompiled libwiisprite. I tried installing that and got these errors:

> "make"

I know it's a lot, but i was makin such good progress and was almost complete with my first "brew" when i updated.. UGH!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ok after more tinkering and finding this post i get this msg:

> "make"

and the resulting output fails to draw anything.

HAHAHA GOD I LOVE CODING!!!

ok so after redoing the MakeFile... it is working again...

it still gives that same warning in the previous post, but it works.

any ideas what that warning means? should/can i ignore it?

The warnings means that the headerfile likely is outdated.

ok, how would i fix that?

Apparently this has been resolved in the SVN version of this lib.
