Which IDE to use for developing for the PSP

ipsp · Post by **ipsp** » Thu Feb 09, 2006 11:21 am

I'm wonder what IDE people would suggest to develop for the PSP.

I have not used an IDE for many many years (my work has our own development environment), and I'm considering either 'DEV-C++' or 'Eclipse'.

Has anybody had any experience with either of these IDE, and had much trouble setting them up.

So far I have noticed that 'DEV-C++' is fairly lightweight, such that it runs with little resources, where as 'Eclipse' seems to be fairly heavyweight with resource, i.e requiring plugs for C/C++.

I guess what I'm really looking for is which is easier to setup as I don't want to spend days get it right.????

Feedback would be great.

I just use dev-C++ to write the code and switch to the cygwin promt and "make kxploit"

easy.

If I can ever get syntax highlighting to work in vim for c/cpp i would use vim as its quite lightweight(in comparison).

I also just use a script to mount, copy my kxploited eboots,and unmount my psp after a compile. I use Kubuntu on a g3 mac ibook(clean out rcS.d and rc2.d and it runs smooth as ice), its GREAT for psp development in those long boring 3 hour classes.

Haha, Same here UsefulIdiot.

Kate + Konsole.
switch to the konsole to compile:
make kxploit
make install

Code: Select all

install&#58;
    mount /mnt/psp && cp peldet peldet% /mnt/psp/psp/game/ && umount /mnt/psp

IIRC thats what the install line from my makefile is.

Windows XP/Cygwin for me.
For editing the source, I use Notepad 2, which is a very lightweight text editor with nice highlighting for many many languages. Plus, it is open source :D

I use the same setup, without Kubuntu
My clamshell is running Debian:)

MS Visual Studio 6.0 with custom written cygwin / GCC integration. As slick as you can get...
