unfortunately to compile stuff that needs a bash shell or autotools you need to install msys or cygwin. on minpspw i use msys and the setup is tricky but totally described on the readme.

what is the size of mysys

if i 7z the directory is about 25~30Mb uncompressed is about 150Mb or so but if you install like i've on the readme make sure you use the exact versions because the thing with msys is that sometimes it doesn't work because some version messes up with the rest of the package...

oh ok i see i read the readme and you are using what i an others call mingw i already have that installed i'll uninstall then install it again to get it working using your directions, so this can compile psptoolchain too or what

yes with that you can compile the toolchain and all the libs from the svn and even others, if you check the svn repo here: http://minpspw.svn.sourceforge.net/view ... spw/trunk/ you can see my bash scripts that work under msys/mingw
