When I do sudo make install I get this output: (it's translated)

Making install in src

Before installing pspsdk I installed psptoolchain without problems. I used the lasts svn versions of both.

First isntall the psptoolchain. If it runs without any probles you have the pspsdk.

Did you add the directories in your PATH?

If you don't have the file "psp-ranlib" anywhere on your system, the toolchain was not built or installed properly. If you do have "psp-ranlib", then your PATH is not set up correctly to point to it.

In ~/.bashrc at the end of file I have:

export PSPDEV="/usr/local/pspdev"
export PSPSDK="$PSPDEV/psp/sdk"
export PATH="$PATH:$PSPDEV/bin:$PSPSDK/bin"

psp-ranlib is in /usr/local/pspdev/bin and libpspasfparser.a in /usr/local/pspdev/psp/sdk/lib

sudo doesn't keep your user environment variables though unless you tell it to

Yeah, thanks for noticing that jsharrad. sudo will clear the PATH and other variables. Try something like:

Code: Select all

sudo env "PATH=$PATH" make install

Using 'sudo -E' will preserve environment variables.

With sudo env "PATH=$PATH" make install it worked please change it in the readme :)

Ubuntu versions prior to Karmic were compiled with SECURE_PATH which overrides the PATH even with -E. On Karmic I think that's fixed, but /etc/sudoers still contains env_reset by default which disables -E. So it's not quite that easy -- the env trick is a more sure-fire way to get it through.

Ahh. I just did a quick test with $PS2DEV, but the path is the important part. :)

You could also put your export in the /etc/profile.

According to man sudo, -E work even when there is an env_reset in sudoers :

The -E (preserve environment) option will override the env_reset option in sudoers(5)). It is only available when either the matching command has the SETENV tag or the setenv option is set in sudoers(5)

Anyway, nothing forces you to use sudo instead of su.
