About PS2LINK 1.24 with embedded ELF.

demonbane · Post by **demonbane** » Tue Sep 07, 2004 11:23 am

Hello, Everyone.

Well, I have some question of ps2link latest release.

In release note, ps2link 1.24 supports (I understood)
"All-In-One elf (irx's embedded in the elf) build target."
So I want to embeded to ps2link.elf but I can't find any resource file for embeded. I understood to search in this forum, for All-In-One elf, it require some source file, but I can't find anything. If I misunderstand to this. Please help me. Or who made ps2link to All-In-One Elf. Please inform me it's solution.

Thank you in Advanced.

Take the sources, edit the main Makefile, change the BUILTIN_IRXS variable to 1, and compile.

Thanks a lot, pixel.

I tried to complie All-In-One ELF file and I failed.
I use gcc compiler and all of ps2dev 1.1 sdk pack in right position (I think)
But I failed

When I tried to compile ps2link 1.24. Using makefile
( In GCC, execute make.exe )

But "make" shows several error message during compiling.

Who know why it shows error message and it can't compile?
( I tried to register all of directory path to windows environment. and already failed.)

It depends on the error.
Without seeing the exact error it's hard to know whats wrong.
*hint hint*

At first, I found during compile using "make"

First time it shows messages it coudn't find irx files ; but I checked all of irx files in "C:\PS2SDK\iop\irx" foldes.

And now;

C:\Project>set PATH=PATH;C:\PS2Dev/share;C:\PS2Dev/gcc/ee/bin;C:\PS2Dev/gcc/iop/
bin;C:\PS2Dev/gcc/dvp/bin

C:\Project>set PS2DEV=C:\PS2Dev

C:\Project>set PS2GCC=C:\PS2Dev/gcc

C:\Project>set PS2LIB=C:\PS2Dev/ps2lib

C:\Project>set PS2SDK=C:\PS2Dev\PS2SDK

C:\Project>make
DEBUG=0 LOADHIGH=0 BUILTIN_IRXS=1 ZEROCOPY=0 make -C iop
make: /bin/bash: Command not found
make: *** [iop] Error 127

C:\Project>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

Thank you in advanced.

the builtins magic requires that you have bash installed. for windows users that means install cygwin.

Thanks, blackdroid.
I'll try it, today.

Thank you for your help, blackdroid.

I installed cygwin and compile again, and I found errors too.

1. When I turn off embedded IRX option and complier shows me

PS. I'm very sorry, I'm not a programer and also very poor in english.
Thank you for your help.

update your ps2link and ps2sdk sources ( I hope you used cvs to get the sources ), sbv has been comited to ps2sdk.

That's probably not going to be enough.

When I tried to build ps2link v1.24b I discovered the following dependencies:

Code: Select all

/----------------\
| ps2link v1.24b |
\----------------/
  |  |
  |  v
  | sbv-1.0-lite
  |  |
  |  v
  | ps2lib
  |  |
  v  v
 ps2eth

Legend:
A-->B : A needs B, therefore build B first, then build A!

And I suspect the latest release will have the same dependencies so you'll also need to check-out ps2lib & ps2eth. Plus, make sure the environment variables $PS2LIB & $PS2ETH are defined with the appropriate paths. ;)

Post by **blackdroid** » Wed Sep 08, 2004 6:12 pm

ps2link needs ps2eth when building yes. sbv does not.
its even in the README that building ps2link needs PS2SDK and PS2ETH.
building the smap module alone in ps2eth does not need ps2lib..

demonbane · Post by **demonbane** » Wed Sep 08, 2004 10:28 pm

I update ps2sdk and ps2link latest version using cvs. (Thanks blackdroid.)

And I compiled ps2link in cygwin.

As a short, It shows error message,too.

I don't understand why it shows error.

Thank you in advanced.

Seems that you skipped the step to build ps2sdk, remember PS2SDKSRC should point to the dir with the ps2sdk sources.. PS2SDK should point to a release dir ( NOT the same dir as ps2sdk sources ). then in the topdir for ps2sdk type make release to build a release.

BiB · Post by **BiB** » Fri Sep 10, 2004 8:53 am

I had the same error and this is because in sbv_patches, the lib filename is not libpatches.a but libsbv_patches.a

I just made a copy libsbv_patches.a, named libpatches.a ans it worked

Thanks, Everyone
Especially, blackdroid , redcoat and BIB

finally I compiled all of files.

just a word of advice.. make a habit of using make BUILTIN_IRXS=1 instead of changing the makefile each time you cvs up ( in essence that goes for all the tweakable variables, like loadhigh etc ).
