Hello,
I installed cygwin and pspchain like explained in http://wiki.pspdev.org/psp:programming_faq.Now i would like to build a little test. I tryed this :
I created a cpp file and i pasted it in the "C:\cygwin\home\my_name" directory.
i enterer "$ make test1" and it work! It created test1.exe ... ... an "exe" file on a PSP ?!

Where did the makefile come from?

PSP's do not take "exe" files. Your makefile is most likely incorrect. Issuing the command 'make' should result in creating EBOOT.PBP, an elf binary, and a PARAM.SFO file. Your makefile should look something like this:

TARGET = app-name
OBJS = src/main.o

USE_PSPSDK_LIBC = 1
INCDIR = include/
CFLAGS = -O2 -G0 -Wall
CXXFLAGS = $(CFLAGS) -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti
ASFLAGS = $(CFLAGS)

LIBDIR =
LDFLAGS =
LIBS = -lstdc++

EXTRA_TARGETS = EBOOT.PBP
PSP_EBOOT_TITLE = Eboot title

PSPSDK=$(shell psp-config --pspsdk-path)
include $(PSPSDK)/lib/build.mak

The makefile is usually in the directory where your project resides. You must create it for a new project, and use something to similiar to what I posted below. I suggest you read a tutorial on what makefiles do and how to use them properly. You can find one here: http://www.eng.hawaii.edu/Tutor/Make/.

Also, if you want to just build a test, the pspsdk comes with some sample projects. To compile those, just go into the directory of the sample you want to compile and issue the command 'make' or 'make kxploit'. For example, if you are in your cygwin shell...

cd /usr/local/pspdev/psp/sdk/samples/wlan
make kxploit

It is an obligation to to create the project in the "C:\cygwin\usr\local\pspdev\psp\sdk" directory?

if your running cygwin you can
create a directory holding
your project files anywhere on any drive

just cd to that dir and build as usual
your project/s as you did the pspsdk
samples (make kxploit)....just make sure you
have makefile in order and all
needed includes and data in that
current project directory
