When installing cygwin the main ones you want installed are grouped under debug, devel and web IIRC, make sure you don't un-check anything either and make sure everything under devel is selected. There may be some stuff under debug you might want but you probably won't need it just yet. Also make sure you've got wget and svn selected to be installed.

Getting the toolchain via svn is the best way of getting it as pre-packaged downloads of it are normally out of date. There have also been times when the toolchain has been updated but there's no news of it. My only example is of the libcurses checks when installing causing it to fail on my MacBook Pro.

I think it is a major problem in cygwin, it checked everything the installer, and have verified that i have downloaded everything. The thing that isnt working, which isnt just for the psptoolchain is the "ls" command "short for list".

[D3V1LD0G]

Ok, here is exactly what it says:

Family@FamilyPC~
$ ls
bash: ls: command not found

Family@FamilyPC~
$cd psptoolchain

Family@FamilyPC~/psptoolchain
$ ls
bash: ls: command not found

Family@FamilyPC~/psptoolchain
$ ./toolchain.sh
./toolchain.sh: line 14: ls: command not found
./toolchain.sh: line 20: ls: command not found

Family@FamilyPC~/psptoolchain
$


I DONT SEE WHY IS ls command not found?

PLEASE RESPOND!!!! URGENT!!!!!!!!

OH AND I AM RUNNING VISTA COULD THAT BE A PROBLEM?

[Keikura]

Did you uncheck anything when selecting the packages?

If so re-add them. The best way may be to re-download the Cygwin installer and files again from scratch.

Ok, i got the toolchain.sh running on an XP computer first try. Now i cant find out how to do the PSPSDK part, it says cygwin.bat should open as a word file, but mine opens as a command line like normal. What is wrong?

[mowglisanu]

Open cygwin.bat as a TEXT file by either right clicking on it and then selecting edit or goto openWith; and choose notepad.

[D3V1LD0G]

ok, and how do  get it back to bash?

?

All you have to do is edit the file and save it with the same name as before cygwin.bat.

Then you just have to start up cygwin by double-clicking it. Done.

Hey, is anyone else here on a vista? I tried putting the environment on a vista, and had a ton of problems, but when i moved over to my XP, i got it done within 2 hours had everything up, even the ./toolchain.sh part was done. I think there may be compatibility issues with vista or sumthing.

[Raphael]

Yes there are, but those are due to Vista being suckass... if you're bound to Vista, you're best off running the toolchain in a VM emulating a Linux machine.

I'm trying to learn lesson 4. I treid everything, but everytime i get: "Image load Failed". I Copied the source and I stil get this Error. I put the PNG Image in the same folder as the EBOOT

I've had similar problems lately too. Seems like somehow the current working directory sometimes isn't set properly at the start of the application.

For a temporary fix you can try inserting the following lines directly at the start of your main(int argc, char* argv[]):

Code:

char cwd[256];
strcpy(cwd, argv[0]);
char* cwdend;
if ((cwdend=strrchr( cwd, '/' ))!=0)
{
cwdend[1] = 0;
}
sceIoChdir(cwd);

You also need to include <pspkernel.h> if you did not do so already.

I am sorry if this is too much for you. You must feel overwhelmed with all these posts asking for help. When I type "make", the following comes up:
make: pdp-config: Command not found.
makefile:15: /lib/build.mak: No such file or directory
Make: *** No rule to make target '/lib/build.mak' Stop.

Please help if you can.

[mowglisanu]

make: pdp-config: Command not found.

Its suppose to be "psp-config"... was that a typo or is that how it is in your makefile?

Sorry to butt in on the many questions already being asked.I couldn't think where else to post this.
I don't know if it's just me or not,but when I click on the tutorials link above each and every page,a list of something like 10-12 tutorials shows up.So I came here to ask for a link to GU tutorials when I found the full list of tutorials.Now why aren't the rest included in the page above(http://www.psp-programming.com/tutorials) ?Personally I think it's a shame that there are all these tutorials but the links are not there.Is there any special reason for this?
