Hi everybody,

I would like to dev an app with wifi infra funct, but, when I compiled my project, I see that I haven't netlib in my pspsdk ! why ?? god not like me ? I'm a bad boy ? ;)
Anyway ! But where and how can I get it when you work under Win env.
I dev in windows, thus I think i'm not acces to svn

Thank for all
(sorry for the bad english ;) )

Hi!
You can use TortoiseSVN from http://tortoisesvn.sourceforge.net/

If it's just svn you need, try http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/. That works just fine.
In general if you're developing under Windows, then you're at the mercy of someone building the cross compilers and generating you a working up-to-date toolchain.
Either install Linux, or get VMWare Server (for free) www.vmware.com and install Linux in a virtual machine.

Ugh, why bother with vmware when svn under cygwin works perfectly?

Unless you have some reason not to use cygwin or something...

Up till last week I have been using cygwin, and you're right, svn and the pspsdk work fine there.
It's just when you try to build some 3rd party libraries they expect a real Linux environment that cygwin doesn't quite provide. That gives problems with configure and install scripts that you can't resolve.
So I've recently switched to developing on a Linux install in VMWare. It's just as fast as cygwin, smaller to download, and it's 100% (or close) compatible.
This isn't me telling you that cygwin's crap, because it's not. It's something new that I'm trying and that works OK.
Try it out if you like

Hah, I never had any trouble like that, except maybe when building pspgl where the makefiles had some mount commands or somesuch, but I took those out and it compiled just fine.

I think I'll try your vmware image once I have more time (stupid exams). (although I have to say I feel more comfortable with cygwin than accessing all the stuff in the host system from a vm. Well, I'll try it later anyway.)

I don't know why people complain so much about cygwin.

The few problems I've had building some libraries were because i didn't have some package, a problem easy to fix.

I use cygwin as well. There are times where things dont build but usually its something that can just be installed from the setup that is missing. It probably gets better performance than vmware.
