Setting up PSPSDK, probably problem with paths.

[Barts_706]

I have set up the toolchain under Linux.

Since I have 2.50 PSP, I have tried to first check the homebrew dev kit by Fanjita and compile the Tetris program for use with GTA.

I get the following errors :

make: psp-config: Command not found
/bin/psp-gcc -I /include -O2 -W -Wall -G0 -fno-pic -mno-abicalls -w -S main.c -o main.s
make: /bin/psp-gcc: Command not found
make: *** [all] Error 127

So apparently there is something wrong with paths. But I have set the paths with the following commands :

set path=/usr/local/pspdev/bin
set PSPSDK=/usr/local/pspdev

I am afraight that I am just asking a very lame question, but what do I do wrong? What step did I miss setting PSPSDK up?

Sorry for the trouble and thank you for any suggestions.

after you do the set , type set on its own and see if the path is correct, depending on the shell you may neeed to use export instead of set.

presumably its the right location ?

if you do
/usr/local/pspdev/bin/psp-gcc
does it work ?

what about
which psp-gcc

if the later works then the path is ok and its the PSPSDK var thats not getting through, which shell are you using.

My shell is bash (distribution : Ubuntu).

I will check the things you suggested when I get back home from work and post the results.

I think that /usr/local/pspdev/bin/psp-gcc should work, since pspsdk has been correctly installed and it is in that directory. Same goes for which, but I'll check it to be sure and show the results.

/usr/local/pspdev/bin/psp-gcc works as predicted.

The problem is with 'set' command - when I type set, I can see that no paths were added! Tried doing it via sudo - nothing, nada, nul, rien, nic.

As I mentioned before - shell is bash under Ubuntu. Anyone has any suggestions?

Disregard the above questions. Indeed the export command works, so after a few trial-and-errors (no man page for that command) my environment is set.

For extra fun, put the lines into your /etc/profile file and it'll be ready to go every time you open a window.

Okay, thank ooPo, I was just asking myself a question how to set it up for good, since after reboot the path was gone.

Anyhow, I didn't have the time to experiment more today, but after setting up the path I managed to compile Fanjita's Tetris! I know it is nothing compared to what you guys do here, but it is my second step on the way to my own homebrew (first being installing PSPSDK), so I am damn happy about it. I have bought GTA today, and tomorrow morning I will put Tetris in the savegame directory and we'll see what happens...
