Help compiling my program

Post by methos3 »

Hello!
My compiler was working correctly some weeks ago, but now that I've reinstalled Windows on my computer, it won't compile anymore!
Before reformatting my hd, I just copied the ps2dev folder to my pendrive, and after installing Windows, I've installed msys (it's correctly configured), and copied the ps2dev folder again to it's original location.
But, when I type "make", it gives me this error:

It wants a "sys/types.h" file, but it really doesn't exist in ee/include or common/include.
I tried to recompile the ps2sdk as well, but when compiling it, a window pops up saying that "collect2.exe" stopped working. It's really strange.
I never had this problem before, what should I do?

That header's located in 'ee/ee/include/sys/types.h'. It's part of the toolchain installation so ee-gcc should be able to find it if the toolchain's been installed to the same location...

Maybe your toolchain was corrupted during the transfer? If you're missing just the newlib headers, then maybe compiling and reinstalling newlib will help.

Hm, Yes. It's there. I don't believe some files were corrupted. After copying, I've checked the number and size of files. What is this newlib?
It's really strange because I can't compile the ps2sdk as well...

Newlib's the standard C library and headers that ee-gcc uses. It's part of compiling the toolchain.

It looks like you have your environment variables setup correctly based on the output. Since that header is part of ee-gcc, it looks like it can't find its own files, which points to a problem with parsing its current location. What's "ee-gcc -v" output?

hey, wait a second...

??
Shouldn't it be /c/ps2dev?

Yep, that toolchain is configured to be in /usr/local/ps2dev and not at /c/ps2dev or c:/ps2dev. I'm not quite sure how you had it working before.

You can try to create a symlink using something like "ln -s /c/ps2dev /usr/local/ps2dev" or modify the fstab to mount c:/ps2dev to /usr/local/ps2dev. Modifying the fstab might be easier, as I'm not sure if MSYS supports symlinks.

Weird! Where did this /usr/local/ps2dev come from? The strange thing is that it was a pre-compiled toolchain I downloaded year ago. First, I will try to download/compile the toolchain, because there could be another errors.
If I get this collection2.exe error while compiling the toolchain, I will use one of those tricks(msys does support symlinks, I guess).
Oh, and thanks, ragnarok2040!

No problem :D.

That path is hardcoded into the binary when it's compiled so you must've had some sort of special setup that remapped '/usr/local/ps2dev' to '/c/ps2dev' or 'c:/ps2dev' or some other configuration to workaround it before you reinstalled Windows.

For the collect2 problem, it's common on Vista or 7, so if you've upgraded to Vista or 7, you need to install Vista compatible versions of binutils/gcc-core and such as well as compile the toolchain using an extra compile flag "-D__USE_MINGW_ACCESS". If you're using XP, then I'm not sure what the problem might be :S.

I made a thread about halfway down the first page now that has a walkthrough for installing mingw/msys by hand, because of permission issues related to installer detection. It also includes solutions to problems I encountered when compiling the toolchain.

Just as I suspected. It's the fisrt problem I'm having with Windows Vista :/
I've never expected any problem with it. Well, I compiled the toolchain using msys in Administrator mode yesterday but didn't test yet (I received an error message, but it was'n anything about collect2.exe).
Propably it won't work, so... I'll take a look at your ppost about vista/7 :D

Thanks again and cya!

[edit]
It worked! I'll probably get the collect2.exe error when compiling the ps2sdk lately, but for now it's ok. I'll take a look at the vista/7 post when I need to compile the ps2sdk :/
[edit2]
impressive! I downloaded the ps2sdk source from the svn just to test, and it compiles! It's a default setup of mingw/msys (I always run msys as Administrator, but no modifications were made).
