Why a special linux version?

The normal toolchain compiles good and fast at my ubuntu 9.04.

Given the number of people who somehow manage not to be able to install it, I say keep the linux version!

Hey Heimdall,

All I can say is thanks for makin this SDK!
But also just wonering if you would be able to compile triEngine for this??

Thanks!

New 0.9.5 Release for Windows, Ubuntu and OpenSolaris

The work on the build scripts have stabilized at the moment the same script is able to build the SDK on Windows, Linux Ubuntu and OpenSolaris 2009.06. You can now enjoy the latest SDK on any of these Operating Systems with the extra benefit that they will all behave the same way.

The current build includes the latest SVN and now is updated to include even more devpaks (38 in total):

zlib
bzip2
freetype
jpeg
libbulletml
libmad
libmikmod
libogg
libpng
libpspvram
libTremor
libvorbis
lua
pspgl
pspirkeyb
sqlite
SDL
SDL_gfx
SDL_image
SDL_mixer
SDL_ttf
smpeg
ode
libpthreadlite
cal3D
mikmodlib
cpplibs
flac
giflib
libpspmath
pthreads-emb
tinyxml
oslib
libcurl
intrafont
Jello
zziplib
Mini-XML

Nice, if you tell me how it's done(The packaging) I could probably go out and provide you a 64-bit build and a BSD build when I get back from vacation in about a week.

I'm assuming this was done because most people don't know how to circumvent the gcc and such errors.

Hi, what actions do I need to take in order to install this properly?
Where should the pspsdk dir be located in linux?
Id like to make a PKGBUILD for Archlinux, which is my favourite distro.
Also, how do you compile this in linux? (I'd like to produce a x86_64 version as well)

Why not? This way I make sure that my build scripts work in any environment, you see, I use exactly the same build script on Windows/Ubuntu/OpenSolaris, so all libs are available on all platforms as also the tools, gcc, gdb, psplink, etc...

Dariusc123456 wrote: I hope it dont have any bugs. But thanks for the updated

Well, I'm not Donald Knuth, so there could be some, in fact I've already found one on OpenSolaris and psp-gdb which I need to look into, for Windows and Linux I haven't noticed anything wrong yet...

Thanks!

That is possible all I need it to write a build and package script for it. I must say that for the next 2 months I won't have much time for the project, so don't expect it but I'll add it to the TODO list...

Here:
http://minpspw.svn.sourceforge.net/view ... iew=markup

I keep the basic changes on the README file.

And slasher2661996 I don't know, my main OSes are Windows XP, OpenSolaris 2009.06 and only lately Ubuntu 9.04 (for work) I haven't tried in older versions, the easier way is to download unzip and try to build the SDK samples...

For that the easier way is to download the project files from SourceForge, and start patching on the build failures... Which BSD distro are you using? my best suggestion is to get a virtual machine with it, install GCC autools, bison, flex, automake, autoconf, subversion, ... (use the README to see which packages I install on windows, linux and solaris)

I'd say install it under /opt so your compiler can be accessed by /opt/pspsdk/bin/psp-gcc, so all you need is to add /opt/pspsdk/bin to the path.

Thought it already included the latest SVN.(Being it hasn't been updated in ages.) If I'm wrong about that, what's been changed recently?

It's mine too :)
I tried a PKGBUILD, but it didn't work well :

Code: Select all

pkgname=psptoolchain-svn
pkgver=2468
pkgrel=1 
pkgdesc="Cross compiler environnement for the PSP"
url="http&#58;//www.ps2dev.org"
arch=&#40;'i686' 'x86_64'&#41;
license=&#40;'custom'&#41; # Since they're not all under the same...
depends=&#40;&#41; # Everything should be installed by default
makedepends=&#40;'subversion'&#41;
conflicts=&#40;'psptoolchain'&#41;
replaces=&#40;'psptoolchain'&#41;

install=

md5sums=&#40;&#41;

_svntrunk=svn&#58;//svn.pspdev.org/psp/trunk/psptoolchain
_svnmod=psptoolchain

build&#40;&#41; 
&#123;
  svn co $_svntrunk
  msg "SVN checkout done or server timeout"
  cd $_svnmod

  # You can edit these variables if you don't want PSPDEV to be installed there
  export CC=gcc
  export PSPDEV=$&#123;pkgdir&#125;/opt/pspdev
  export PATH=$PATH&#58;$PSPDEV/bin

  ./toolchain.sh
&#125;

I think it didn't work because the svn itself ( sometimes, it doesn't work with a classic svn checkout ). You can try if you want, and there are not that much changes to do for the psplibraries package.

Notice that it misses an install file, which should tell the user to set some environnements variables in his /etc/profile.

And I'd also want both 32 and 64 bits packages :)
( Don't say Ubuntu, just Linux 32 bits or Linux 64 bits. It'll be better for us )
