Newbie questions about compiling

Hi, I'm new to the psp programming world so I'm quite lost (sorry for my english).

I use GNU/Linux and when I want to compile the SDK samples there are no problems, it compiles without problems; but when I try to compile something that uses external libraries like libpng, libjpeg, mikmod or any other it's all problems. For example for LuaPlayer source I already have installed the dependencies from the repository of my distribution (Ubuntu Breezy), is that right? Or, have I to install the libraries from the svn repository? I normally have also to edit the Makefile to add to the INCDIR var /usr/include/xxx, shouldn't Makefile do it automatically?

Thank you.

You need the psp versions of these libraries from SVN. Checkout, make, make install, and everything should compile fine.

Ok, I'm going to grab all files from svn, compile and install. What's the difference between both? Sorry if it's a stupid question.

The ones on your pc are built for a pc environment (ie compiled for x86 or whatever your desktop is), the ones in svn have been ported so as to work on psp's processor and SW environment.

It's true, I forget that it installs header files and library objet compiled for my x86.

Thanks cheriff.
