Error during toolchain.sh execution

Monkeyget · Post by **Monkeyget** » Sat Oct 21, 2006 4:24 am

I tried to install the psptoolchain through cygwin but it consistently fail, so I hope someone here will be able to help me.

I installed cygwin (or rather re-installed once more :) ) and made sure to have the right packages.

The problem arise when I try to install gcc (toolchain.sh -g)

Here is the log I get before the error:

I don't know if it's normal or not but each of the lines checking for xxxx... no/yes take quite some time (~5-10 second each).

"line 21: 2576 Hangup" is not particulary helpful...

The error comes from ## BUILD AND INSTALL GCC (C++) ## in toolchain.sh and more precisely the make instruction "$MAKE clean; $MAKE CFLAGS_FOR_TARGET="-G0" || { echo "ERROR BUILDING GCC (C++)"; exit; }"
which use the makefile file at tmp/pspdev/gcc-4.0.2/build-psp-c++/Makefile

The error in that makefile is at the line :

Code: Select all

# directories built for the host system.

I would suggest trying to use Linux instead of cygwin, that way you can be sure that its all in place..

I gave up on windows after a week of trying but a few linux distros worked first time and took about half an hour - 45 mins

I use Mac Os X now.

However maybe try the following if linux isnt appropriate

1) Re installing the entire toolchain ensuring you have an active internet connection throughout the entire process
2) re installing cygwin (ensuring the libraries for PSP development are installed
3) If all fails, throw hard drive out the window, get new hard drive (Skip this if you wish), install linux on second partition or second drive

Cheerio

Thanks for you help Wally4000 but i got it to work. I don't know why it worked this time but it did.
I just deleted the temp files, made sure I had all the required package and installed the different composants one by one instead of executing the whole toolchain script in one step.

I just made the most incredible PSP application I have ever done (and i really only have made one) : hello world. Hurray!

I also realised that i have forgotten most VI commands and how bad I have always sucked at c programming. Boy isn't that going to be fun :p .

No problem,

Now get started on Dosbox :P
