yes, i think it was originally design for linux. cygwin is just to similate unix to run pspsdk.

Yes, PSPSDK can be installed on linux platforms. It was designed for linux, which is why windows users must install Cygwin, which sort of 'emulates' linux to a certain degree. Don't ask me how to install it though, I don't know much at all about linux, and I'm actually searching for that answer as well, so if anyone knows, please explain this here or in my thread a little farther down the list.

BTW, I got a new error when I performed the 2nd process of the toolchain script, ./toolchain.sh -d -g. The details are on my thread a little farther down the list, it's titled "How long does ./toolchain.sh take?"

Thanks everyone.

All the commands in linux will be the same as in cygwin, it's just that you *probably* will have to sign in as root to do the 'make install' because it puts stuff in the /usr/local directory.

Or, you just setup $PSPDEV to point somewhere into your own home-directory and comment out the paths in the toolchain-script. No need to install it systemwide.

I'd like to install it on linux as well, but I'm a linux n000b! I've got the toolchain script and am able to execute it, but when I run it I get:

gpatch: command not found
patch: command not found
Please make sure you have 'patch' installed.

I'm assuming I need the extra stuff you would normally need to install with cygwin if I were under windows, but I dont know what the linux equivalents are or where to get them. :/

What linux distro do you have?

Red-hat types are going to use RPM's
Debian types will use apt-get
Suse and Mandriva (mandrake) will have *something* easily used.
Gentoo has something like apt, but you use emerge (if i remember correctly).

if you are referring to automated update tools; redhat style systems that are rpm-able can use yum; and SuSE uses YaST...
