Hey I have problems getting started with my PS2Dev kit, I can't install everything right! I've tried everything, (Cygwin, MDS...) but i can't get it right.. can someone give me a "NoOb" guide or please send me Preinstalled files... If anything is illegal in my request then just forget it... thx for all the answers... ! :)

Just read the sticky at the top of the forum..it has everything you need to know...and is very easy to do.

I have done everything I tell you and when i type ee-gcc -v in Cygwin i get that it's installed.. but how do i Compile the test.c file then ??? P.S the vars $(PS2SDK), $(PS2DEV)...... isn't set.. how can I set them???

To set the variables edit the cygwin.bat file. I copied mine below to make it easier for you. Hopefully its right, there may be other ways of doing it but everything works fine for me.


@echo off

C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin
set ps2dev=/usr/local/ps2dev
set ps2sdk=/usr/local/ps2dev/ps2sdk
set gskit=/usr/local/ps2dev/ps2sdk/gskit
set gslib=/usr/local/ps2dev/gslib

bash --login -i

okey.. everything seems okey now.. but 1 prob is left.. :$.. how do I compile the test.c file in Cygwin.. i'm really not into Cygwin stuff... :).. thx

make

make test.c

returns

make: Nothing to be done for 'test.c'

test.c is the hello app from samples... what to do next ???

Beurk.. Cygwin is running under windows, but it's not a reason to put your env variables into the .bat !

Why don't you put them in your .bash_profile under your home directory OR under in a (for i.e) toolchain.sh under etc/profile.d/

It's much more cleaner that the piteous .bat file...

Nothing to be done means just that, if you look in the samples folder there prolly is already a test.elf. If so just delete it and try "make" again it should build you a new one.


Thanks evilo I will try that out

Read up on unix development tools, such as make.

A character by character tutorial is what's lacking I think...

Next question: "I have test.elf, now what do I do?"

Reply: "Read up on loaders and setup on ps2dev.org :)"

Expecting someone to know how to use the ps2 specific tools is a lot different than expecting them to be able to use the basic, widely used and not ps2 specific unix development tools, of which there are hundreds of tutorials out there for.

Asking people to read up on some of those tutorials instead of answering a ton of questions about every little program seems reasonable to me ;)

Drakonite, okey your right.. :P... but i really appreciate all the help i got.. :)
