Makefile question

Shapyi · Post by **Shapyi** » Thu Mar 30, 2006 3:47 am

Before PSP I never really did Unix style programming with makefiles. Here is my question. How do you move the elf file to the PSP. Say my PSP path is "I:\DEV\". Because I am using FileAssistant to send the elf, test it and then just go back to FileAssistant instead of the PSP XMB menu.

So can someone help? I feel kind of dumb asking this. And if there is another dev program better than FileAssistant with USB drivers and call backs, let me know too.

Thanks for the help.

You should really look into psplink for dev

Where can i get that and what command do i need to put in my makefile to move the elf to PSP?

EDIT: I found PSPLink on the front page.

PSPLink is great for programming, but it doesn't automatically copy the EBOOT over. For that, I suggest adding this to the very bottem of the makefile.

Code: Select all

install&#58; 
    mount /mnt/psp && cp peldet peldet% /mnt/psp/psp/game/ && umount /mnt/psp

I'm not exactly sure if it works, I'll have to try it tonight on cygwin. danzel posted this on the forums a while ago.

So you type in "make kxploit", then type in "make install".

If you're using PSPLink then you should use a USB cable and get the host file system working. I have the host filesystem directed at my current projects executable directory. A session in psplink becomes 'exec EBOOT.PBP' and then 'reset'.. code.. compile.. repeat. :)

Hope that helps.

Others in the pspdev IRC channel have suggested this, but I lost the link. I've searched the forums a bit and can't find a tutorial. Got a link to one?
I'm using Cygwin, btw. I've heard it's a bit iffy.
