Your question is too vague be more specific. What do you want to do with it? Maybe try the examples.

[Avanaboy]

YES ! I want to try some example ... But, How I compile it ?


if i try the command *MAKE* in the source directory , but it doesen't work ...

What is the command to run the compiler ?



Sorry for my english but i'm italian !

I myself just installed Ubuntu (Sick of Cygwin!) to develop for PS2/PSP as well....



Since your question is some what vague... I'm going just to offer this suggestion:

Be sure that you export the proper environment variables prior to compilation for PS2/PSP. Read the included readme.txt from the toolchain as it will contain all the variables you need.

Here is a helpful tidbit for anyone who reads this....


1. Create a file and call it environ_ps2.sh
2. Within this file enter the following:

Code: Select all

  export PS2DEV=/usr/local/ps2dev
  export PATH=$PATH:$PS2DEV/bin
  export PATH=$PATH:$PS2DEV/ee/bin
  export PATH=$PATH:$PS2DEV/iop/bin
  export PATH=$PATH:$PS2DEV/dvp/bin
  export PS2SDK=$PS2DEV/ps2sdk
  export PATH=$PATH:$PS2SDK/bin

3. When ever you want to develop for PS2 just type the following prior to compiling you code:

Code: Select all

source environ_ps2.sh

4. This is assuming you are using bash as your shell....obviously.



P.S.

What distro are you using? I have to say that Ubuntu is really good! I find myself spending more time on it then Vista!

Well... since i work on many platforms for my engine I finished creating a little environment script that i use for building all my platforms with one command. Though I'm not finished as I work on Dreamcast and Gp2X this file should prove useful for those who work on PS2, PSP and linux.


Be sure not to use the quotes.

Usage from command line: "source environ.sh [value]"
Calling file from another fIle: ". environ.sh [value]"

value: 1=PSP, 2=PS2, 3=LINUX

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
# Environments for Specific Platforms
# environ.sh by SX ([email protected])

case $1 in

1) # PSP environment?
   export PSPDEV=/usr/local/pspdev
   export PATH=$PATH:$PSPDEV/bin
   echo "PSP Environment Loaded!"
   ;;

2) # PS2 environment?
   export PS2DEV=/usr/local/ps2dev
   export PATH=$PATH:$PS2DEV/bin
   export PATH=$PATH:$PS2DEV/ee/bin
   export PATH=$PATH:$PS2DEV/iop/bin
   export PATH=$PATH:$PS2DEV/dvp/bin
   export PS2SDK=$PS2DEV/ps2sdk
   export PATH=$PATH:$PS2SDK/bin
   echo "PS2 Environment Loaded!"
   ;;

3) # Linux environment?
   export LNXDEV=/usr/bin
   export PATH=$PATH:$LNXDEV
   echo "Linux Environment Loaded!"
   ;;

*) # Wrong Value?
   echo "Value Not Supported!"
   echo "1 = PSP"
   echo "2 = PS2"
   echo "3 = Linux"
   ;;
