How do I use the psptoolchain script?

Post by **ooPo** » Wed Jul 06, 2005 8:20 am

As always, the latest version is available on my site: http://www.oopo.net/consoledev

Instructions are located on the wiki: http://wiki.pspdev.org/psp:programming_faq

Let's take a look at the included readme file:

Code: Select all

  ==================
   HOW DO I USE IT?
  ==================

   Basically, you run the toolchain script&#58;

    ## Make the script executable.
    chmod a+x ./toolchain.sh

    ## Run the script.
    ./toolchain.sh

   First, this script will attempt to make sure you have all the programs
   you need to build the toolchain. Then it will download the source from
   various places on the internet. Finally, it will compile and build the
   source. This may take a long time.

   Once finished, you need to add the following to your login settings&#58;

    ## PSPDEV SETTINGS
    export PSPDEV="/usr/local/pspdev"
    export PATH="$PATH&#58;$PSPDEV/bin"

   Then you're done!

  =====================
   WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?
  =====================

   Thanks to Rinco, you can now select which parts of the process to
   perform. No longer will you have to rerun the whole script&#58;

    -d          - Download the required files.
    -b          - Build and install binutils.
    -g          - Build and install gcc. &#40;both c and c++&#41;
    -n          - Build and install newlib.
    -p          - Download, build and install pspsdk.

   For example, say you wanted to update only pspsdk&#58;

    ./toolchain.sh -p

   The script grabs the latest version of pspsdk from the svn repository.

That last part is important. Let's repeat it.

Code: Select all

   For example, say you wanted to update only pspsdk&#58;

    ./toolchain.sh -p

   The script grabs the latest version of pspsdk from the svn repository.

Now you have no excuse for not knowing how to use it nor for not being up to date with the latest pspsdk.

Thanks for reading, and try the fish...

I'm probably an idiot but I can't get this to work at all. Have installed the full cygwin but from bash I the chmod a+x ./psptoolchain.sh won't even work. When I use the renamed version it can't find the file, and when I leave the file alone (i.e. with the date) it does the chmod, but then when trying to run it, it complains about being a bin file.

Should I have selected dosmode when I installed cygwin perhaps?

Could you paste the actual error messages?

Are you using the cygwin shell, or a dos command line?

Could you try: sh ./toolchain.sh

I've been using the cygwin shell (as in the one that starts arwin@xxx> in nice green font ;) )

I'll try that, thanks. I'm noticing though that there are some version issues - there were three .17 versions already present on my machine, and I installed the latest cygwin. When trying to make sure the right one was installed with regsvr32.exe, I got another error I'd never seen before.

I didn't pursue it much yesterday, went on with trying to compile a few things, and was already very happy to have compiled and fixed the hello world example within 2.5 hours of setting out. :) All that, of course, thanks to all the great help on the boards. 8-)

My C skills haven't been used in, what, 10 years, and they were never great - but I've been hacking into WIN32 with VB6 a lot and learnt more about programming in C (or rather, using OS functions of course) from there than I did before programming C. :)

Just do a

Code: Select all

./toolchain.sh

.

No need for the 'sh' in front.

Post by **ooPo** » Fri Jul 15, 2005 6:19 am

What's psptoolchain.sh? It should be toolchain.sh.

I think I get it. I mistakenly believed that winrar extracted the file, but it actually just dumped a binary.

Now I'm trying to untar the file with tar in cygwin, but I can't get it to work either. *sigh*

Found the xvf option, but now it says its not a proper tar file ... obsolete 64 headers and all that.

Agoln · Post by **Agoln** » Fri Jul 15, 2005 6:53 am

if it is .tar.gz then you have to do a:

Code: Select all

tar -zxvf filename.tar.gz

the z option says it's gzip'd.

Woohooo!

I'm totally out of this unix thing, apparently. It doesn't show the .gz, how cruel.

Now, however, I get

gmake: command not found
wget: command not found

Since I installed all the binaries under the devkit, I'm getting fed up. :(

Install wget and make from the cygwin setup.

Make I already installed, I can't any gmake anywhere - I looked through all of them. But I figured out (partly from this thread: http://www.pspupdates.com/forum/showthr ... #post54080) that I needed wget from somewhere too.

And hurray, now it seems to be downloading something. :) One small step at a time.

this is actually a common issue with winrar - it works correctly with .tar.gz but for .tgz (which is the same thing) it only gunzips it... might be beneficial for novice users if ooPo changed it to .tar.gz ... just a suggestion :)

you can ignore the gmake error since you have make...

Post by **ooPo** » Sat Jul 16, 2005 5:23 pm

Yes, the toolchain script checks for gmake first (hooray for bsd folk) then tries make. As long as the script doesn't give an error message and stop, chances are it is running fine.

As for .tar.gz, well... No offense, but I really don't care if a foolish windows programs can't handle a very common archive format properly just because it isn't getting exactly the extension it wants. I'm actually kinda surprised it doesn't prefer a 'proper' 3-letter extension.

Really, you should be using tar/gunzip to unpack it anyway. Get those hands dirty and touch those unix tools you've committed to using when you decided you wanted to do psp development! :)

i agree fully that it is better to get your hands dirty using the appropriate tools,especially since linux/cygwin will be the development area - just thought i'd mention the extension issue... still amazes me that winrar has this issue after so many versions though...

How old is your toolchain?

bugkiller78 · Post by **bugkiller78** » Fri Jul 22, 2005 5:29 pm

The latest one I just downloaded from here. I think it's 20050625.

I had to go thru a lot of stuff to get this far. Here are my installations:

1. cygwin
2. mingw (I need this for gcc, otherwise the toolchain did NOT even run)
3. additional Unix utils: patch.exe. flex.exe...
4. I also downloaded gmake.exe from some1 (I wasnt able to compile the gnu make sources). This explains why I failed?

Please tell me what I did wrong. Is it helpful if you send me all of the compiled utils such as gcc.exe, gmake.exe, autoconf.exe, automake.exe, gmake.exe, etc... and whatever I need

Thanks, Agoln

Post by **Oobles** » Fri Jul 22, 2005 9:24 pm

bugkiller78, you shouldn't need to install mingw, or manually install patch and other tools. gmake.exe is also not required if you use cygwin. The cygwin setup.exe program allows you to select packages to install. It is here that you select gcc, patch, and other things as listed at the following URL.

http://wiki.ps2dev.org/psp:toolchain
http://wiki.ps2dev.org/psp:programming_faq

I'd suggest you start a fresh. If you have the correct packages installed through setup.exe of cygwin you should find the toolchain script works perfectly.

Hope it helps.

That's not the latest one.

Update your toolchain. Like oobles said, I'd start fresh with those sites.

I'm using cygwin on winxp with gcc 4.0.1 and the latest version of both the sdk and toolchain.
I just ran the script and after about an hour it tells me this:

Code: Select all

c&#58;\pspdec\bin\psp-ar.exe &#40;3220&#41;&#58; *** proc magic mismatch detected - 0xD94C588A/0
xD079E02
This problem is probably due to using incompatible versions of the cygwin DLL.
Search for cygwin1.dll using the Windows->Find/Search facility
and delete all but the most recent version. The most recent version *should*
reside in x&#58;\cygwin\bin, where 'x' is the drive on which you have
installed the cygwin distribution. Rebooting is also suggested if you
are unable to find another cygwin DLL.
make&#91;2&#93;&#58; *** &#91;libgcc.a&#93; Error 128
make&#91;2&#93;&#58; Leaving directory '/tmp/pspdev/gcc-4.0.1/build-psp/gcc'
make&#91;1&#93;&#58; *** &#91;stmp-multilib&#93; Error 2
make&#91;1&#93;&#58; Leaving directory '/tmp/pspdev/gcc-4.0.1/build-psp/gcc'
ERROR BUILDING GCC

So I tried doing what it said. No other versions, so I rebooted and ran it again.
Another hour later it gives me the same thing.
I just reinstalled cygwin, changed a few things, and restarted the script, but it takes an hour to get to the point where it stops so if anyone knows how to solve this problem it would save me a lot of time.

Thanks.

ps: Yes, I read the readme and tried searching this forum for similar questions. No luck.

[edit]
Nevermind... I feel kinda dumb now. I think one of the environment variables from another compiler was interfering with it. Anyway, it works now.

Hi,

Im having some troubles to execute the toolchain script, its locking without reason or error message. I tried to reinstall a fresh Cygwin everytime the toolchain fail and its still locking at random stages.

Sry if answered before, I swear I had used the forum search.

"Where it lock" samples (it does lock on other commands too, but most of time its on config.status):
===
checking how to link with libintl... -lintl
checking for aclocal... aclocal
checking for autoconf... autoconf
checking for autoheader... autoheader
updating cache ./config.cache
configure: creating ./config.status
(lock/stall, CPU goes 0%, FileMon says no I/O at HDD)

---- some other times ----
checking whether canonicalize_file_name must be declared... yes
checking for stdlib.h... (cached) yes
checking for unistd.h... (cached) yes
checking for getpagesize... (cached) yes
checking for working mmap... no
checking for working strncmp... yes
updating cache ../config.cache
configure: creating ./config.status
(lock/stall, CPU goes 0%, FileMon says no I/O at HDD)

--- unable to use CTRL+C or CTRL+Break ---
--- when I try to close the CygWin Window ---
4 [main] ? 3880 fork_copy: cygheap pass 0 failed, 0x611548E0..0x6115B778, done 0, windows pid 4028, Win32 error 5

--- yesterday the CTRL+C worked and I got ---
Hangup
(and back to the prompt)
===

Some additional info:
===
- Toolchains tested from ooPo and SVN, PSPSDK sync with SVN.
- W2K3 + CygWin (tried Full and "Wiki" Style), Intel with HT enabled, Chkdisk and Defrag = Ok, no bad sectors.
- While the script is running, Im leaving the machine alone and the CygWin with focus. Already tried to leave it running from one day to other without luck.
- I have it running fine in other 2 machines, can I just copy/duplicate my CygWin folder from the working ones?
===

[Edit]
> I have it running fine in other 2 machines, can I just
> copy/duplicate my CygWin folder from the working ones?

- Did work. Im compiling again.

This toolchain will not work natively under Windows XP 64bit edition. I had to modify it to have the --host=i686-pc-cygwin since it doesn't seem to reconignise the x86_64 as the platform identifier. So be warned if you have that problem add that flag above to everything but pspsdk in the ./configure's
