WANTED:GCC 4.0 Toolchain for windows (supporting C++, float)

edepot · Post by **edepot** » Thu Jun 16, 2005 2:52 am

Does anyone have the link to the new GCC 4.0 toolchain install program
that runs on windows? Exactly like Nem's GCC 3.2.2 toolchain installer
file, but it has GCC 4.0 compiler, and supports C++, float, double,
and all those stuff, and after typing pspdev.bat you can compile
away and make PSP homebrew software.

Install cygwin then download and run the toolchain script from ooPo's site

I know this is an extremely noobish question, but hows does one run the toolchain script?

wulf · Post by **wulf** » Thu Jun 16, 2005 6:32 am

extract the toolchain by going:
tar zxvf psptoolchain(whatever the numbers are).tgz
... wait a second,
change to the directory that was created:
cd psptoolchain
make the toolchain.sh script executable:
chmod 755 toolchain.sh
run the script:
./toolchain.sh
watch the text fly by!
you should also read the readme in the psptoolchain directory.

(I just finished doing this... :)

^- of course, all this is assuming that you are in the bash prompt from cygwin...:)

Yes, thanks for the help :) I'm not very familiar with unix commnds, hehe.

remember to install wget when installing cygwin. or you may not be able to install the toolchain.

Grifis · Post by **Grifis** » Thu Jun 16, 2005 10:12 am

I have to install wget like you said. I extracted the wget tar file and ran ./configure, but it still isnt fully installed according to the psptoolchain. What do I do from here?

Thanhda · Post by **Thanhda** » Thu Jun 16, 2005 10:17 am

install it through the cygwin setup. click on Full, under packages click on bin and src, and it should install it. anything else your missing(if they mention it), can be found there. hope this helps.

wulf · Post by **wulf** » Thu Jun 16, 2005 10:22 am

make
make install

usually this is how to compile and install stuff in linux... type these in the directory you typed ./confugure in.

But before you do that, cygwin can install stuff like wget for you. when you install cygwin, you should choose "custom install"
or whatever the equivilant option, and scroll down the list of possible stuff to install, until you find wget.. of course, my instructions are probably not 100% accurate (as to where to find the options), because I use linux. (I've only set up cygwin a couple of times)

EDIT: ok, totally disregard everything in this post.. someone with a better idea of how to do it beat me to it...:)

thanks a lot guys

OK, now I have a question...

I know there is another thread (or two) on this, and I have read them,
but I am still haing trouble.
I am trying to compile Nem's helloWorld (as a test),
but I get this error:

startup.s: Assembler messages:
startup.s:17: Error: illegal operands `la $v0,_gp'
startup.s:18: Error: illegal operands `move'
startup.s:23: Error: illegal operands `li $v0,1'
startup.s:70: Warning: setting incorrect section attributes for .rodata.entrytable

I am using the new pspdev toolchain..
I am not sure how to properly include the regdef.h file

thanks in advance

EDIT: My question was answered in the "osx startup.s" thread. anyone who needs the answer should take a look :) sorry for topic duping.

Thanhda · Post by **Thanhda** » Thu Jun 16, 2005 11:00 am

i'm currently using the ps2sdk, not the psp. but! you will most likely have to modify the mk.bat file. i had to do that. just rename the bat file to a txt file.

c:\ps2dev\gcc\ee\bin\ee-gcc -march=r4000 -g -mgp32 -mlong32 -c hellopsp.c
c:\ps2dev\gcc\ee\bin\ee-gcc -march=r4000 -g -mgp32 -mlong32 -c pg.c
c:\ps2dev\gcc\ee\bin\ee-gcc -march=r4000 -g -mgp32 -c -xassembler -O -o startup.o startup.s
c:\ps2dev\gcc\ee\bin\ee-ld -O0 startup.o hellopsp.o pg.o -M -Ttext 8900000 -q -o out > hellopsp.map
outpatch
@echo you got outp as psp elf
Elf2pbp.exe outp Eboot

ps2dev - http://www.internalreality.com/PS2Dev_Setup.zip
toolchain was the

and used the ps2 toolchain. but its probably recomended that you use the new psp toolchain.

Hi,
I'm trying to install the 4.0 toolchain as well and I am running into some problems. I ran the toolchain script but it generates an error when configuring BINUTILS. This is what it says

...

checking whether ln works... yes
checking whether ln -s works... yes
-v: not found
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH
ERROR CONFIGURING BINUTILS (binutils-2.16 psp)

...

Thanks for the help, if there is anything else I need to post to help solve this problem just ask.
Thanks again,
Mike

How do you expect to compile the toolchain without a compiler installed?

myk · Post by **myk** » Fri Jun 17, 2005 5:38 am

Yea I just did some searching and found out that was the problem. I'm a real noob when it comes to this. Can you point me in the right direction on where to get gcc?

wulf · Post by **wulf** » Fri Jun 17, 2005 5:52 am

are you using cygwin? because if you are, and I'm betting that's the case,
you can simply install it from the cygwin installer.

look up a few posts in this thread.. someone else had to install cygwin stuff, so the info you need will be there.

yea I am, I should have said I was using cygwin. Thanks a lot.

Just bypass cygwin altogether and install linux :)

sq377 · Post by **sq377** » Sat Jun 18, 2005 2:24 am

heh, i've got a noob question for hte linux one. It said in the readme for the linux install to put a few lines in your startup. Where is that on linux... i seriously have no idea. most the internet has told me is fstab but that looks more like partition info.

0xdeadface · Post by **0xdeadface** » Sat Jun 18, 2005 2:42 am

"Just bypass cygwin altogether and install linux :)"

Or just install cygwin, install the devkit, copy the cygwin dll's to your windows directory and the devkit then behaves like any other DOS app and you can use your favourite (well....) windows/dos editors and forget about *nix althogether.

For those of you wishing to avoid Cygwin, GCC 4.0.0 *should* compile on an Msys/MinGW system out of the box.

Also, there are patches and a toolchain script on Oopos site to make 3.2.2 compile on Msys/MinGW.

Make sure you install the MSys dev toolkit too.

wulf · Post by **wulf** » Sat Jun 18, 2005 8:44 am

re: where to put the exports:

if you take a look in your home directory, there are a number of "hidden" files.. they start with a period ie .somefile
look for the one that is called .bashrc
this is a text config file for the bash shell, so every time you use bash, this will be loaded.

you can put the exports here:

for example, mine now reads:

Code: Select all

# .bashrc

# User specific aliases and functions
 export PSPDEV="/usr/local/pspdev"
    export PSPSDK="$PSPDEV/pspsdk"
    export CVSROOT="&#58;pserver&#58;[email protected]&#58;/home/pspcvs"
    export PATH="$PATH&#58;$PSPDEV/bin&#58;$PSPDEV/psp/bin&#58;$PSPSDK/bin"
    
# Source global definitions
if &#91; -f /etc/bashrc &#93;; then
	. /etc/bashrc
fi

even if you can't see the file, you can still open it by explicitly referencing it, ie:

nedit ~/.bashrc

*~/ is just a macro?ish thing that means /home/yourloginname[/code]

Hmmm...anyone successfully install the psp toolchain on winblows machine? Worked fine on my linux box but I would like to set it up at work (we only have win32 here) but for some reason it chokes when building binutils.

Sorry for not replying earlier, didn't see the quesation.

FStab is used to mount all partitions in linux, so if you wish to see that 2nd partition on your 3rd hard drive? It's in FStab. Want to mount a USB device at startup? Put it in FStab. I havn't read the read-me so I don't know what it's talking about with the "put a few lines in the startup", but that's what the FStab is for.

I have.

I ran into some problems making s-macro_list at some point in the process but that was because c:\windows\system32 was ahead of c:\cygwin\bin in my path and there was a sort.exe in that directory that was getting executed instead of the cygwin sort. So I put c:\cygwin\bin first in my path and it worked.

You might check to see if you have a path order discrepency too.

jboldiga · Post by **jboldiga** » Wed Jun 22, 2005 2:38 am

Yeah I think your right, stupid RenderWare SDK (ps2 dev) has a make.exe in the path and it was screwing things up. Thanks.

Just tried that the other day as I'd prefer msys over cygwin env, but I had some probs. Can't remember what the error(s) was/were, so I'll have to go back and try and recompile it when I have some free time.
