[SOLVED] psptoolchain compiling error

hockeyhead019 · Post by **hockeyhead019** » Tue Jan 06, 2009 1:11 pm

hey guys,

ok so i've searched and searched and it seems as though everybody is having trouble with installing this due to an error in gcc... unfortunately i have a different problem... instead of the usual error message that everybody has been getting i get

Code: Select all

make&#91;1&#93;&#58; Leaving directory `/home/jim/Desktop/psptoolchain/build/newlib-1.15.0/build-psp'
make&#58; *** &#91;all&#93; Error 2
../scripts/004-newlib-1.15.0.sh&#58; Failed.

if anybody could help it would be great... i'm on ubuntu 8.10 by the way... thanks

How about giving us the actual error instead of merely the final failed notice. :)

Errr - still no error listed. :)

Don't look for "no", look for "error". Most terminals allow you to increase the scrollback cache so that you can scroll back to see lines that were scrolled off the display. I keep mine set for 20000 lines. :D

ok sorry for the double post but as i was scrolling through it i found this bit which seemed like it might cause something....

Code: Select all

/jim/Desktop/psptoolchain/build/newlib-1.15.0/build-psp/etc'
for f in standards.info configure.info; do \
	  if test -f ../../etc/`echo $f | sed -e 's/.info$/.texi/'`; then \
	    if make "MAKEINFO=/home/jim/Desktop/psptoolchain/build/newlib-1.15.0/missing makeinfo --split-size=5000000 --split-size=5000000" $f; then \
	      true; \
	    else \
	      exit 1; \
	    fi; \
	  fi; \
	done

WARNING&#58; `makeinfo' is missing on your system.  You should only need it if
         you modified a `.texi' or `.texinfo' file, or any other file
         indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual.  The spurious
         call might also be the consequence of using a buggy `make' &#40;AIX,
         DU, IRIX&#41;.  You might want to install the `Texinfo' package or
         the `GNU make' package.  Grab either from any GNU archive site.

yes

so i reinstalled the two packages which are suggested in the "Warning" and still nothing :( i don't even know if this is the error you are looking for... sorry

*BUMP* please anybody have any ideas??

That particular error has been covered so many times it's silly. If you do a search on "makeinfo" in the psp dev forum, you'll find more threads than you can shake a stick at. It seems everyone would rather start a new thread than look for already existing ones... like these:

and many, MANY more just like them. :)

yea i feel so dumb right now... sorry bout the noobishness haha but i appreciate the direction

No problem... just remember to search first. THEN if you still have a problem, ask. Of course, first you needed to identify that it was "makeinfo" causing the error, then you could search. :)
