You don't have the paths for pspsdk set in the environment variables. Pay close attention to that part of the setup instructions. It's been covered many times, so now you know what to search for.

i have placed the paths in the enviroment variables, but there is both user variables and system variables and i have added them to the user ones, when it asks you to enter them i have added them as CYGWIN for variable name then the paths separated by ; as the paths is that correct?

Have you tried restarting? I know at least with Vista new envvars don't 'pickup' until restart.

I could be offbase here since I am unclear as to precisely what you did in this procedure. But, it sounds like you created an environment variable named CYGWIN and assigned the path information for cygwin to it.

This would be incorrect. Paths should go into the PATH environment variable, appended with a semicolon between entries for windows.

It should work for either User or System with the (hopefully obvious) caveat that a User environment variable will only work for the user you're logged in with while you set it.

If it helps, on my windows installation of pspsdk I have it installed at C:\pspsdk and I created a User environment variable named PATH with C:\pspsdk\bin in it and it works as expected.

Replace C:\pspsdk\bin with your path to your pspsdk installation bin directory and it should work.

thanks for that, that made more sense, didnt help but definetaly got me thinking, i actually looked in my bin folder and i have no psp-gcc file there i dont suppose there is a way i can download just this? or someone can email me the file or provide a link?

Either you're using Cygwin, in which case modifying the Windows environment variables is retarded - you need to add the paths to your Cygwin environment - or you've installed a Windows based PSP SDK in which case you're reading the wrong faqs.
Your sig is retarded too.
