I recommend you stop making new accounts.  I don't think the mods will take kindly to it.

I get a toolkit working with cygwin thanks to you \o/

Since I got some difficulty (3 day to make it works -_-) I give my nooby contribution to your post.

I first have some problem with gmp include and after that with ncurses.

So I get cygwin and selected all this pakage

Devel

Math -> gmp
Math -> mpfr

WEB ->wget

I entered in the search box "curse" and selected all concerning ncurses
I entered in the search box "info" and selected all concerning ncurses

So I think if you have problem with a pakage, restart the cygwin launcher make a search and select all the package.

After that I could not connect to the svn link, so I try this one :
svn co http://psp.jim.sh/svn/psp/trunk/psptoolchain

I do the following in cygwin :
echo "export PSPDEV=/usr/local/pspdev" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "export PATH=\$PATH:\$PSPDEV/bin" >> ~/.bashrc

Since ncurses is not in the good directory, I just copy and past the wole directory :
C:\cygwin\usr\include\ncurses

into the :
C:\cygwin\usr\include

and I launch the psptoolchain script :

cd ./psptoolchain
./toolchain.sh

And it works (at least I compiled a little program and make it works on my PSP in 5.5G) !!

[F.D.]

i gives me an error that says that i should install gmp. ( i followed that steps just like you described them). What should i do ?

Thanks nathan42100 !
follow ur guide ,i have installed CYGWIN system successfully in my WINDOWS XP.
U r so kind !

I got so tired of all the errors that I looked for a pre-compiled version.

Here it is (thanks to Sakya): http://www.sakya.it/downloads/psp/cygwin_20081114.rar

To install it:
1.Download the file cygwin_20081114.rar (107Mb)
2.Extract it where you want (it's better to not use path containing spaces)
3.Launch the file launcher.exe (don't execute cygwin.bat)

If you're on Win7 (and possibly Vista) you have to right click the launcher.exe and run as Admin.

Well, I've followed your guide, but found myself stuck at installing the toolchain.
I took about 7 (yes, seven) hours and then my computer freezed.
The last thing it said on my screen was a whole lot of text, ending with something like:

.../fixed-bit.c

I couldn't use my mouse or keyboard to copy/paste it...

Another question, if you were busy installing the toolchain,
but shut your computer down because it freezed and start the toolchain the next day,
will that be anything of a problem?
Since you're installing stuff you've already tried to install...
But I'm gonna try it all over again, see if that helps.

When ever I try to download the toolchain I get

Code:

$ svn co svn://svn.ps2dev.org/psp/trunk/psp
svn: Network connection closed unexpectedly

tyvm to the guy below me and the link to the psp tool chain is

http://psp.jim.sh/svn/psp/trunk/psptoolchain/

[mowglisanu]

that's been dead for quite a while now
there's a mirror, psp.jim.sh or something like that
