Make things easier for potential developers

It would benefit the psp-scene if there was a single step installation for the sdk/all the other resources.

the accually coding is a much easier task for a beginner than getting your computer set up for it.

actually that's what the toolchain does, but it requires a unix like console to work fine with some application to build the source. in a linux enviroment normally that's not a problem, in windows you need to set up cygwin correctly.
plus there is a package which should install all in a win32 installer form, but i had only issue with it (missing things) so i built the toolchain with cygwin and all worked fine. now i just svn co svn://svn.ps2dev.org/psp/trunk/toolchain, do ./toolchain.sh, wait for it to finish and copy & paste on my actuall work directory (i don't use cygwin for normal build)

There is the toolchain.sh script. How to use this script is stickied at the top of this forum:

I have run the script on Windows, Linux and OSX and found them all to be very simple. Linux would have to be the simplest - as it tends to already have developer software installed.

well, I know the procedure.

a single installation file that installes "all of the above" and ready to go in the visual studio.

like, one click.

Provide this magic installer and a way to keep it up-to-date, and we'll gladly include it in pspsdk.
