-lz Missing???

[PSPfreak!]

whenever i try to compile a EBOOT.PBP from a makefile which has the lib -lz included in it, it comes up with,

Code: Select all

/usr/local/pspdev/lib/gcc/psp/4.1.0/../../../psp/bin/ld: cannot find -lz
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Makefile has this in it:

Code: Select all

LIBS		      = -lz -lpsppower
CFLAGS		    = -O2 -G0 -Wall -DAIO -DUSE_MS0
CXXFLAGS	     = $(CFLAGS) -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti
ASFLAGS		   = $(CFLAGS) -c

any help would be appreciated coz im a real f'in n00b, and i admit it

Try installing zlib, this should fix your problem

Try installing zlib, this should fix your problem

so

Code: Select all

svn co svn://svn.ps2dev.org/psp/trunk/zlib

cd zlib
make
make install
cd ..

i've tried that and when i get to make install it cant copy, and i cant overwrite the files. im going to restart my commy and do it again to see if that works

[PSPfreak!]

what sort of computer are you running...

If you are in linux / Mac OS X its handy to know sudo.

so instead of make install its sudo make install, helps quite a bit!

In linux/Mac, it's best to chown the pspsdk directory so that you never have to sudo again. The latest tutorial on setting up the toolchain shows how to do that.

even before installing psp-binutils, i run

chown -R user:user $PSPDEV

and it avoids lots of head-aches. But then be careful with pspirkeyb installation because it tries to recursively copy some directories and will not have permission to copy .svn , so the installation will stall. you can work around that bug using sudo to build and install the package and then, use chown in the build directory and in $PSPDEV to restore permissions
