Does this mean I should be adding a ps3 subversion repository now? ;) Anyone want to start on the ps3 compiler toolchain?

...after extracting the toolchain (let's say in user directory) it can be build with:

Code: Select all

cd toolchain-2.3-src
~/toolchain-2.3-src/toolchain/scripts/build-cell spu
with this command you'll have binutils, gcc, newlib for spu

hello world,

I was noticing that theres alot of information out on this processor and what not. Is any of this directly relateable to ps3 dev yet?

I was wondering if anyone has started using this abundant information yet, and what sort of test projects they are doing with it. Since this is just starting it would be nice to be involved from the begining, but without the hardware infront of me, I dont know what i would do with tool chains.

So, what are you up to? It would be nice to hear what the forerunners in the community are playing with.
