Can I make eboot.pbp from script.lua in Windows 98? :|

I read thousands of readings and all I know is
1) download cygwin
2) install cygwin (with selecting some libraries?)
3) do the things like:

tar xfvz psptoolchain-20051023.tgz
cd psptoolchain
chmod a+x ./toolchain.sh
./toolchain.sh

okay, at this point, I got an error:
bra bra bra..."PATCH" ...bra bra bra...

finally, I give up to do it in my windows...

Anyway... I wonder if there is any compiler available for win98?

I never come across with any unix/linux os before and I am not good at C... but I simply LOVE Lua Player for PSP~ :D

okay, at this point, I got an error:
bra bra bra..."PATCH" ...bra bra bra...

thats not really helpful;
but i am guessing you did not install the proper (or any) version of PATCH?

Since you love lua as you state, and are posting in the lua forums, I am making the assumption that you wish to begin coding in lua.
Question: Why do you even need the toolchain, sdk, etc? Lua is a scripted language, so you can grab the binary luaplayer from somewhere, write your scripts in notepad or where-ever, stick it on the memcard and be done with it.. Easy!

ps: for future reference, when asking for help, posting error messages, etc, "bra bra bra..."PATCH" ...bra bra bra..." a)Doesn't give anyone enough info to begin reasoning about what your problem is, and b) makes me feel that if you cant be bothered copy&pasting error codes, why should I be bothered enough not to close the window without replying?

How to ask questions the smart way for next time :)

hehe i looked exactly on your title...
it should be NO problem to create a eboot.PHP on windows98

Sorry that my English is poor...
Well, I haven't post the error message because I'd delete the cygwin before I decided to post a msg on this forum... :( and u know... it is so difficult to install cygwin again for a non-unix user like me~ :(

I really like to program by lua simply, but the problem is:
after I make a piece of work and post onto the web, the ppl can immediately read the code the change the contents of it... as lua script is not hidden at all... :(

If, the lua script can be compiled and form an interprete code or, directly form an eboot.pbp that noob user (like me) cannot read the code, then I am sure I will focus on it~
:D

But sharing source code is the point of homebrew, it's all for fun and learning, not-for-profit, and should be open-source.

And how are you going to learn lua - probably by looking at other people's source code!

Don't worry about others reading or changing your code.
