I'm lost here

Post by blueshogun96 »

Hi everyone, I'm having a world ov trouble trying to figure out how this homebrew ps2 compiler works. I have absolutely NO IDEA what to do after install. I have been spoiled rotten by MSVC++ which has a GUI and everything. I'm not used to using the command line stuff at all. Some one please tell me if there is a guide to using that compiler? Thanks. And sorry if this has been awnsered a million times, I didn't have any time to search.

Your friend is the make files, read some info about "make" and look at the make files (Makefile) in the sample dir of PS2SDK (copy them as a base for your own), then you just have to type "make" in your program directory and it will handle all gcc/g++ etc commands. Very handy :)
Don't forget to add the environment parameters found in the PS2SDK documentation to your .bashrc (if you run bash), without them you will have a harder time finding the compiler.
