i cannot install cygwin on windows because i get a BSOD. so i installed linux to use it as a dev enviornment. is there an easy way to install the devel packages on linux or do i have to do all the manually?

Just run the toolchain script...

If you were getting BSODs you may likely have a problem with your hardware.

:-/ well when i tried it a few nights ago it tells me that it cant confige binutils or some other guff and id have to install that package manually... will the script install all the needed packages? im currently on ubuntu 5.1

If it can't install binutils then there is something wrong with the host build environment.

The script requires a host toolchain, and it does not install any of that for you. Typically that stuff is installed by default in linux. The main question will be if the version of autoconf installed is new enough or not.

This might be a silly question, but do you have permission to write to where you are trying to install the pspsdk? ;)

yeah cz i did sudo ./toochain.sh

i tried installing in sectins and only the first one makes it.

im about to give up. i had someone install it on their machine and upload it... and i get an error when i try to make something about the psp sdk not being defined when i edited the batch file as stated in the tut @ psp-programming.$ make
make: psp-config: Command not found
make: psp-config: Command not found
/lib/build.mak:15: *** $(PSPSDK) is undefined. Use "PSPSDK := $(shell psp-config --pspsdk-path)" in your Makefile. Stop.

Your path needs to be setup it sounds like.

And they are not batch files. Batch files are dumb scripts. Makefiles are smart dependency based build setups.

Assuming you used the defaults, add

Code: Select all

export PATH=$PATH&#58;/usr/local/pspdev/bin

to your .bashrc or /etc/profile
