Trouble building toolchain

[J.F.]

I recently built a new system and I am in the process of setting up the psp and ps2 toolchains. The psp toolchain went fine, but building the ps2 toolchain gives this error:

Code: Select all

configure: error: Unrecognized target system type; please check config.sub.
gmake: *** [configure-opcodes] Error 1
ERROR BUILDING BINUTILS (binutils-2.14 ee)

I've tried this with the default 4.1 gcc, 3.4 gcc, and 3.3 gcc. All give the exact same error.

What target did you choose?

This is the toolchain script... all you do is type "./toolchain.sh" and it handles everything from downloading the correct gcc/binutils/newlib to patching to compiling ps2sdk. At least, it USED to. :)

Still getting that error. Here's more of the output:

Okay - I figured that problem out... I don't run toolchain.sh in the toolchain directory, so as a result, it couldn't find the patches. Rather than complain and error out, it keeps happily trying to build the stuff. :)

The PSP toolchain didn't have a problem because it always fetches the latest patches from svn. The PS2 toolchain should probably do the same.

EDIT: Also, don't forget (like I did) that the ee gcc won't compile with gcc 4.x. If you're running something like Fedora Core 6 (like I am), go into the repo and install gcc-3.4, then run the toolchain like this:

Code: Select all

CC=gcc34 ./toolchain.sh
