Possible Bug in toolchain?

SafariAl · Post by **SafariAl** » Tue Apr 29, 2008 10:06 am

Well, I recently installed Ubuntu on my laptop, and it works fine. I decided to install the psp toolchain, with the help of someone who's done it before. First I was on the 8.04 Hardy beta, and it installed fine. I had to reinstall thanks to a grub error, and then tried to install it again. This time I ran into an error that really bugged me:

Code: Select all

make&#91;1&#93;&#58; Leaving directory `/home/nick/Desktop/psptoolchain/build/newlib-1.15.0/build-psp'
make&#58; *** &#91;all&#93; Error 2
../scripts/004-newlib-1.15.0.sh&#58; Failed.
ERROR&#58; Could not run the toolchain script.

After a ton fo frustration, I reinstalled ubuntu and tried again. Got the exact same error. No matter what I did, I got that error. So just today, installed the official release of 8.04. I tried to install again, with high hopes, and still got that exact same error. I have talked to many people about this. All of whom, do not know what's happening. Please help, I really want to give a shot at PSP Development. Thanks

PS: The link below is what I see in the terminal. All that was in the terminal in the end is in this file:

hi you

In the logs it says this
WARNING: `makeinfo' is missing on your system. You should only need it if
you modified a `.texi' or `.texinfo' file, or any other file
indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual. The spurious
call might also be the consequence of using a buggy `make' (AIX,
DU, IRIX). You might want to install the `Texinfo' package or
the `GNU make' package. Grab either from any GNU archive site.

You need this lib http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/ :)

Hey SafariAl,
I am using Ubuntu 8.04 and i ave got the toolchain and sdk working perfect. Use this guide
http://wiki.ps2dev.org/psp:lua_player:compiling
dont worry about the lua and luaplayer.
read the ubuntu readme in the psptoolchain folder. and set up your terminal cinfig correct.
sudo is you friend

Good news. Apparently, texinfo did not install correctly through synaptic. If anyone else has this problem, try manually installing it.

Another strange occurrence was that I couldn't edit the nano .bashrc. I had to install emacs instead. This time emacs would not install. So i had to manually install it. It was like something out there doesn't want me to develop for the psp. It all worked out well though. I hope to be releasing some projects in a while. Thanks wally, and homemister
