Error running toolchain

YellowShadow · Post by **YellowShadow** » Wed Aug 27, 2008 12:39 pm

I'm building the toolchain in Windows using Cygwin. I checked out the latest version from the SVN but it says it can't find gmp. I installed gmp and from the cygwin install program and re-ran the toolchain only to get the same error. Am I missing something here?

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

There is no package called gmp-devel and mpfr-devel, but I've installed gmp and mpfr (thats how they were listed in the package selection screen).

Hey..
I had the same problem. It's was a while ago. but you have to search for
libmpfr-devel
and
libgmp-devel

But after i installed that i got some other problems. so im now trying to instal in with MINGW MSYS instead of Cygwin.

jojojoris if you use the SVN scripts directly with MSYS (no cygwin) they won't work, you have to modify them or just use my patched scripts (http://minpspw.sf.net) then you can use them under windows without cygwin.

To make it even easier you can just download the win32 binary and you have a working SDK without any work.

Cheers

Okay now I'm getting a new error saying this:

Code: Select all

$ ./toolchain.sh
ERROR&#58; Add C&#58;/cygwin/usr/local/pspdev/bin to your path before continuing.
../depends/check-pspdev.sh&#58; Failed.

My cygwin.bat file says

Code: Select all

@echo off

C&#58;
chdir C&#58;\cygwin\bin

set PSPDEV=C&#58;/cygwin/usr/local/pspdev
set PATH=%PATH%;C&#58;/cygwin/usr/local/pspdev/bin

bash --login -i

Am I doing something wrong here?

Yes. Whatever tutorial you used, it is outdated.

Here is an up-to-date tutorial on setting up the toolchain:

What you need to do is step 5.

How do I install the psp version of libraries like TinyXML, SDL, SDL_Image, SDL_Mixer, etc...

I know there in the ps2dev svn but don't know how to install them through cygwin.

Why do you use cygwin on windows? Whats the benefit over heimdall's native sdk?

Most of the time it's just:

Code: Select all

svn co svn&#58;//svn.ps2dev.org/psp/trunk/libraryname
cd libraryname
make && make install

Generally, you should read the included readme.txt or readme.psp before doing the make && make install step, as it contains exact information on how to make and install the libary.

Because it creates a POSIX environment that the toolchain natively requires for compilation. Heimdall's SDK works just fine, because it's precompiled and that environment isn't needed any more for plain compilation of your projects, unless you want to recompile the toolchain. It's perfectly fine if you just want to get a development setup working without caring for keeping up to date unless a new build is created.

well..

If you want the fastest toolchain you have to install Linux in your PC. I've Ubuntu installed on my PC to. (yes i have a dual boot). Building the toolchain on Linux is faster because cygwin is an emulator which is always slower.

With linux you shouldn't have any problems if you follow the instructions.

I'm trying to compile SDL and when I did this line:

Code: Select all

./configure --host psp --prefix=$&#40;psp-config --psp-prefix&#41;

I get the following stuff in the console and it fails:

Code: Select all

configure&#58; WARNING&#58; If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host.
    If a cross compiler is detected then cross compile mode will be used.

What am I doing wrong?

Also where can I find a list of libraries that are in the svn trunk and if I were to update the psptoolchain would I have to rebuild the whole thing or what? How would I do that?

Thanks

Code: Select all

svn checkout svn&#58;//svn.ps2dev.org/psp/trunk/psplibraries
cd psplibraries
sudo ./libraries-sudo.sh

Enjoy!

cygwin is an emulator

Poppycock.
