Installing psptoolchain under cygwin

Post by netddos »

I've downloaded all the sources I need by running the script with ./toolchain.sh

I'm now stuck on the next direction.

It says to add the following to my login setting...

Code: Select all

## PSPDEV SETTINGS
    export PSPDEV="/usr/local/pspdev"
    export PSPSDK="$PSPDEV/pspsdk"
    export CVSROOT=":pserver:anonymous@cvs.ps2dev.org:/home/pspcvs"
    export PATH="$PATH:$PSPDEV/bin:$PSPDEV/psp/bin:$PSPSDK/bin"
Where am I suppose to add these lines to? Remember I'm running this under cygwin environment, not the naive linux.

You will only need to add /usr/local/pspdev/bin to your PATH.

Usually it's as simple as adding:

Code: Select all

PATH=/usr/local/pspdev/bin:$PATH
export PATH
To the file called .bash_profile in your home directory (which is possibly C:\cygwin\home\pimpdaddy or whatever you set it up as).

You can also set the PATH envrionment variable in the System control panel.

Add those to your .bash_profile file e.g.:

if you install cygwin to c:\cygwin and your NT user is called bob look in:

c:\cygwin\home\bob\

Note that the rest of those variables (and technically $PSPDEV) are obsolete. There isn't a pspcvs any more and all pspsdk binaries will go into the bin/ directory wherever the pspdev tools are installed.

So just adding /usr/local/pspdev/bin to the PATH will be enough.

on another note, I'm currently setting up the psp toolchain in cygwin as well, and I know the readme said it was going to take a long time, but its been running for over 6 hours now. Mind you, it is progressing, its just soooo long haha. oh well

btw my machine is 933mHz, so that could be it, kinda old

How many packages did you pick up? And are they downloading or installing?

I dont know how many packages. I installed all the packages when I installed cygwin, but that was a month ago or so.

All I did was follow the instructions in the readme, and it did a few downloads when I started the script, and has since been going through what looks like a config/make -ish routine
