I have one question. Are these tuts good for me, if i dont have ANY experience in programming?

I just did the 4th tutorial and its being extremely evil:

$ make
psp-gcc  -I. -I/usr/local/pspdev/psp/sdk/include -O2 -G0 -Wall -c -o main.o main.c
main.c: In function 'exit_callback':
main.c:28: warning:implicit declaration of function 'SceKernelExitGame'
psp-gcc  -I. -I/usr/local/pspdev/psp/sdk/include -O2 -G0 -Wall -L/usr/local/pspdev/psp/sdk/lib  main.o graphics.o framebuffer.o -lpspgu -lpng -lz -lm -lpspdebug -pspdisplay -lpspage -lpspctrl -lpspsdk -lc -lpspnet -lpspnet_inet -lpspnet_apctl -lpspnet_resolver -lpsputility -lpspuser -lpspkernel -o hello.elf
main.o: In function 'exit_callback':
main.c:(.text+0x8): undefined reference to 'SceKernelExitGame'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [hello.elf] Error 1

phew that took a while to type... ok can someone tell me whats wrong?preferably yeldarb cause its his tutorial.

Make sure you included all of the necessary header files. Check to make sure this is at the top of the file:

Code:

#include <pspdisplay.h>
#include <pspctrl.h>
#include <pspkernel.h>
#include <pspdebug.h>
#include <pspgu.h>
#include <png.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include "graphics.h"

[eggwonder]

yea i definitely have them all i copied all the functions and such in the tutorial from the page that it said to put in. and when i tried to copile it all it made was the new main graphics and framebuffer

[nathan42100]

make sure psptoolchain installed correctly and you have the latest version

[Yeldarb]

C is case sensitive, "SceKernelExitGame" is not the same as "sceKernelExitGame" (note the lowercase "s")

[eggwonder]

ty ty ty ty ou just helped me finish tutorial 4 and taught me something about C so now i can move on to 5

[nathan42100]

I never would have noticed that. Good eye Brad!

[eggwonder]

ok last night i decided to call it a night after finishing the 4th tutorial and now when i tried to load up the image example it always fails is there any way to fix that?  

[Yeldarb]

Load it up on your PSP or compile it?

Is there an error message?

[eggwonder]

i compiled it with no errors or warnings and when i loaded it up with bock loader evry time i tried it said "image load failed!" so the game works except the image never loads

[Yeldarb]

Did you remember to put the image on your PSP into the directory with the EBOOT?
