Outcome C++ projects buildable for 3DS from a standard project layout without manual toolchain configuration.
A portable build system for cross-compiling standard C++ projects to the Nintendo 3DS. The system handles devkitARM toolchain setup, 3DS-specific compiler and linker flags, library paths, and packages output into the homebrew format that runs on hardware.
The goal was minimal friction: drop it into an existing C++ project and it works, without requiring per-project toolchain reconfiguration.
