Installing the PSPSDK (Linux or Windows)

[m0skit0]

I have everything installed, I'm just not sure how to get link up-and-running

Then you should learn programming for PC first.

well, what i did for starters was cd into the psplinkusb folder and ran "make release" which compiled all that ready to be used. the other stuff within the sdk i haven't touched yet. but the psplinkusb has a pdf file to teach you how to use it

Huh? An SDK is not meant to have programs, but to allow you to program your own stuff.

Hello, I built this toolchain for the second time now, and I found a bug as well in 007-gdb and 008-insight installation scripts.
Those try to fetch an old version of said pieces of code, which don't exist on the ftp servers anymore. I attached the fixed files, hf coding!

Now this is silly. Getting the following error on the last script of the psptoolchain:

This is what YaST gives me on packages with 'curses' in their name:

As far as I can tell, I have the required library installed. So, any way to fix this?

[m0skit0]

Try with -lncurses.

[SAUVAL DANNY]

Thank you very much to you for this great tutorial I'll test it on Ubuntu 11.10!

EDIT 1 : The .deb of the minimalist doesn't work for me it says me that "xz: (stdin): File format not recognized" and it gives me some other errors....

So I'm trying ti install the PSP toolchain. It looks be working fine. I'm wating for it to finish to be able to see the result . I'll edit this message to give you my answer.

Thank you for taking the time to do this!

Thought I'd rebuild this again Starting with gcc 4.3.2 (since that is nicely pre-configured + fixes in this thread, thanks!), but I'm also interested in trying to use a later gcc.
Anyone tested how much breaks, or have a recommendation for a specific gcc version, or perhaps even did this and have updated patches?

[JJS]

It seems that GCC is already at 4.6.3 on here: https://github.com/pspdev/psptoolchain

Thanks a lot! Will use that instead, once I make sure the old one builds!

EDIT: The old toolchain built just fine, but the newer one was quite messy, mostly because plenty of librarys were included as well. Those took a lot of manual fix-ups to build (SDL* in particular was tricky), at least for me, but in the end it all worked actually. I'm not sure it was worth the trouble though

I'll try both toolchains and see if I notice anything worth mentioning speedwise when I find some time

Very nice
