I've been trying to check out Nesicide and some of the sample projects on the project page to see what programming for NES involves (the only non-PC thing I've programmed for previously is TI graphing calculators), but I'm having trouble getting started with the IDE software. I've tried the following on my desktop (Vista) and my laptop (both XP and Ubuntu 12.04) with the same results. I downloaded all files from the google download page.
1 - Nesicide seems to install without a problem. In Windows, I install CC65 and Make 3.81 before Nesicide itself, and in Ubuntu I used the 4 Linux packages.
2 - If I open one of the sample projects and simply click the Compile Project button, the build fails without any real information why. Here is the full contents of the Build output window after trying:
3 - If I click the Project Properties button or select it from the Project menu, the entire program immediately crashes with no further feedback. I've also noticed that the same thing happens if I open the Test Suite dialog and click either of the execute buttons (without actually trying to set up a test)
Am I doing something wrong? I can post any other diagnostic info that would be helpful if someone tells me where to find it.
