Lesson 01
Setting up the Development Environment
Get the toolchain and PSPSDK up and running with CYGWIN.
This is part three of Lesson 01. If you have not completed parts one and
two, do so now.
Did you have a nice sleep? Good. Today, you become a man. Err.. programmer. Sorry, I always get those two mixed up. Rub the
sleep out of your eyes and get ready to put the finishing touches on your PSP Development Environment installation.
It is now time for the last step. We have to tell CYGWIN where it can find the PSPSDK (which the toolchain just installed) and the toolchain. To do this, we need to change "C:/cygwin/cygwin.bat" to include the paths. So, close CYGWIN, and navigate Explorer to "C:/cygwin" and right click on cygwin.bat. Select "Edit" and a Notepad window should appear with the following (you'll need to replace all instances of "C:" with "D:" or "E:" or "_:" if you installed CYGWIN on a drive other than your "C:" drive):
Change this to:
Now you're ready to go! If you have source code that you want to compile, go into that directory with "cd" and
type "make" and it should give you an eboot.pbp that you can put on your PSP. If not, check out
Lesson 02 to learn how to create your own simple application for the PSP.
