Hey all. I've finally decided to get serious about programming on the PSP, to see what it can do, see what I can do on it, etc. I'm doing programming at Uni, and now I know my fair share of rookie game programming, I want to try my hand at PSP game development.

I've followed this tutorial which tells me how to set up Cygwin. I've installed all of the default packages, typed in these two commands in the command prompt:

echo "export PSPDEV=/usr/local/pspdev" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "export PATH=\$PATH:\$PSPDEV/bin" >> ~/.bashrc

and now I've been told to enter these commands:

svn co svn://svn.ps2dev.org/psp/trunk/psptoolchain
cd psptoolchain
./toolchain.sh

Only problem is, cygwin says svn isn't a recognised command. Are there any suggestions as to why it isn't a recognised command, and how to fix this issue?

Thanks.

I had the same problem, I'm in the works of fixing it now. The problem I believe is that I downloaded an already built Cygwin and it didn't have all the subversion and automake etc. So I think you may have downloaded the same package I did. I found this helpful.

Number 1 is installing Cygwin(what I'm doing right now).
Number 2 is the toolchain.

It downloads 400 meg for Cygwin. After that it takes about 20-30 minutes to install Cygwin. Then once you get it set up and checkout the toolchain from the svn and install it, it takes another several hours. What I did was installed Cygwin and then tried the toolchain but it gave me errors about 30 minutes into the install so I just put in the pre-compiled toolchain I had before in and it works fine :) just gotta update the PSPSDK.

Guh, yet ANOTHER error. Damn this is annoying lol.

I've now made the directory /usr/local/pspdev/r but it doesn't make any difference. I've also added a blank file called r in /pspdev/ too, that doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

Your line endings in toolchain.sh got messed up. Make sure it has Unix line endings.

add this to cygwin.bat above bash --login. except change it to your directory.. mine was F:/ Im running windows

set path=%path%;F:/cygwin/usr/local/pspdev/bin
set PSPDEV=/usr/local/pspdev

Ok, now I'm severely fucked off.

2 bloody hours into the installation, I come across this error:

Once again, any suggestions? I don't understand why I'm getting so many errors. Are all cygwin installations like this?

The PSPSDK has installed fine but psplinkusb never,

Type this in to cygwin after that error comes up make sure your already in the psptoolchain folder,

ouch, well at least your toolchain installed.. after you get that done all you gotta do is install the SDK.. which btw isnt hard.

now all you gotta do is

svn co svn://svn.ps2dev.org/psp/trunk/pspsdk/
cd pspsdk
make
make install

all done :)

His SDK is installed fine.

As was already said, it's just the psplinkusb install which failed.

Ok, so I followed hibbyware's advice (thanks for that), what do I need to do after that, or is that it?

By the way, what do you mean my SDK is installed? I thought I only installed the toolchain? I haven't got PSPSDK yet, or have I? I wanna confirm the SDK comes seperate from the toolchain before I install the SDK.

If this SDK *is* installed, where will it be in the cygwin folder?

I think its in cgywin/usr/local/pspsdk .. I could be wrong.. I'm not currently at my computer I'm at a friends. If its not there just do the commands I said above.
