Setting Up CYGWIN in 7 simple steps - Updated 12/23

[Scylla]

CYGWIN sais: "sudo command not found"

[mowglisanu]

I guess you don't have sudo either.
well never mind.

Try using minpsp instead.

[Scylla]

How do I install minpsp into cygwin? I don't understand........

Also there has to be some way to use sudo in cygwin.
Argh!! How do I get this to work!

PS: Im in windows

[mowglisanu]

>How do I install minpsp into cygwin? I don't understand........
You don't.
just follow the link and read the instructions

[Scylla]

Yeah but I'm more suited to the toolchain tuts that I've used off this site.
Why isn't sudo working?

[mowglisanu]

try it without the sudo

Code:

apt-get install gmp

[Scylla]

Nah it doesn't work.
Perhaps I didn't install anything right when installing cygwin?

EDIT:
Okay it turns out it was something I did wrong when installing cygwin.
Now its going through everything.

Also it said at the beginning: "........../pspdev does not exist or is not a directory"

or something, is this normal?

[Scylla]

I managed to get ./toolchain.sh running.
I leave it running for a good few hours. I come back to find tons of errors:

This just isn't working......I've tried all that I can.

I cannot find any instructions on how to use MinPSPW, and I'm not even sure how it works.
This is my first time programming with the PSP and I would really like to get started soon.
The IDE I use is Code::Blocks...so how do I get this SDK thing integrated into it?

Do I just run the pspsdk setup file and all is good?

[mowglisanu]

if just psplink failed then you should be set.

>I cannot find any instructions on how to use MinPSPW, and I'm not even sure how it works.
Did you check the website?

Sorry for bumping this thread, but I´ve a big problem with installing the toolchain.
First everything´s ok, but when it´s trying to install/download() "newlib" from http://ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/newlib/newlib-1.16.0.tar.gz there comes an error. It´s trying this many, many times until it´s giving up.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



I installed the whole Cygwin before. Hope you know my fault. (Oh and this thing "newlib" is needed, isn´t it?)

[Raphael]

First, you can't bump a sticky anyway, so don't worry
Second, yes, newlib is required.
Third, looks like sources.redhat.com is down, so either wait until it is back up or follow these steps:
- open up psptoolchain/scripts/004-newlib-1.16.0.sh in an Editor
- replace the URL in line 8 with any one of the following that works for you: http://www.filewatcher.com/m/newlib-1.16.0.tar.gz.12024353.0.0.html
- start toolchain.sh again as in the tutorial

[Raiden]

Oh sorry, I was missunderstanding you. Thanks for help!
Well, didn´t worked aswell:(
Maybe you can post the 004-newlib-1.16.0.sh, cause my didn´t worked?

[Raphael]

Code:

#!/bin/sh
# newlib-1.16.0.sh by Dan Peori (danpeori@oopo.net)

 ## Exit on errors
 set -e

 ## Download the source code.
 wget --continue ftp://ftp.eenet.ee/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/newlib-1.16.0.tar.gz
 ##ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/newlib/newlib-1.16.0.tar.gz

 ## Unpack the source code.
 rm -Rf newlib-1.16.0
 tar xfvz newlib-1.16.0.tar.gz

 ## Enter the source directory and patch the source code.
 cd newlib-1.16.0
 patch -p1 < ../../patches/newlib-1.16.0-PSP.patch

 ## Create and enter the build directory.
 mkdir build-psp
 cd build-psp

 ## Configure the build.
 ../configure --prefix="$PSPDEV" --target="psp"

 ## Compile and install.
 make clean
 make -j 2
 make install
 make clean

Should work, though I didn't test it as I don't have cygwin/toolchain installed at the moment

EDIT: Be sure to save the file with UNIX Line Endings (Line feed only)!
