Download it there

Originally i made it for use with my Pyldin601 emulator (port for PSP, old bulgarian mc6800 based computer)
You can try binaries http://mail.pdaxrom.org/tmp/pyldin601-psp-3.2rev84.zip
or sources https://mail.pdaxrom.org/svn/pyldin/trunk/pyldin601/
Copy psp and seplugins to psp.
Edit ms0:/seplugins/pspirkeyb.ini for your keyboard.

Cool. Can someone please check this in? Useful for PSPVice, Dosbox, ScummVM/AGI, etc...

This adds build dependencies to SDL, whereas before there were none.
Does it add any run-time dependencies as well? Is that really wanted in all cases?

At the very least, can you provide a patch for the README.PSP documentation that lists the build requirements and where to get them?

It need install libpspirkeyb for build SDL with keyboard support. And i made new patch for keyboard configure option. Now for enable psp ir keyboard, use option --enable-pspirkeyb.

Code: Select all

LDFLAGS="-L$&#40;psp-config --pspsdk-path&#41;/lib -lc -lpspuser" ./configure --host psp --prefix=$&#40;psp-config --psp-prefix&#41; --enable-pspirkeyb

By default it disabled and no additional libraries need.

Thanks, it should be a lot friendlier to people who are building existing projects now :)
