Does anyone have the link to the new GCC 4.0 toolchain install program
that runs on windows? Exactly like Nem's GCC 3.2.2 toolchain installer
file, but it has GCC 4.0 compiler, and supports C++, float, double,
and all those stuff, and after typing pspdev.bat you can compile
away and make PSP homebrew software.

Install cygwin then download and run the toolchain script from ooPo's site

I know this is an extremely noobish question, but hows does one run the toolchain script?

wulf · Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 81

extract the toolchain by going:
tar zxvf psptoolchain(whatever the numbers are).tgz
... wait a second,
change to the directory that was created:
cd psptoolchain
make the toolchain.sh script executable:
chmod 755 toolchain.sh
run the script:
./toolchain.sh
watch the text fly by!
you should also read the readme in the psptoolchain directory.

(I just finished doing this... :)

^- of course, all this is assuming that you are in the bash prompt from cygwin...:)

remember to install wget when installing cygwin. or you may not be able to install the toolchain.

I have to install wget like you said. I extracted the wget tar file and ran ./configure, but it still isnt fully installed according to the psptoolchain. What do I do from here?

Thanhda · Joined: 09 Apr 2005 Posts: 331 Location: Canada

install it through the cygwin setup. click on Full, under packages click on bin and src, and it should install it. anything else your missing(if they mention it), can be found there. hope this helps.

make
make install

usually this is how to compile and install stuff in linux... type these in the directory you typed ./confugure in.

But before you do that, cygwin can install stuff like wget for you. when you install cygwin, you should choose "custom install"
or whatever the equivilant option, and scroll down the list of possible stuff to install, until you find wget.. of course, my instructions are probably not 100% accurate (as to where to find the options), because I use linux. (I've only set up cygwin a couple of times)

EDIT: ok, totally disregard everything in this post.. someone with a better idea of how to do it beat me to it...:)

OK, now I have a question...

I know there is another thread (or two) on this, and I have read them,
but I am still haing trouble.
I am trying to compile Nem's helloWorld (as a test),
but I get this error:

startup.s: Assembler messages:
startup.s:17: Error: illegal operands `la $v0,_gp'
startup.s:18: Error: illegal operands `move'
startup.s:23: Error: illegal operands `li $v0,1'
startup.s:70: Warning: setting incorrect section attributes for .rodata.entrytable

I am using the new pspdev toolchain..
I am not sure how to properly include the regdef.h file

thanks in advance

EDIT: My question was answered in the "osx startup.s" thread. anyone who needs the answer should take a look :) sorry for topic duping.

i'm currently using the ps2sdk, not the psp. but! you will most likely have to modify the mk.bat file. i had to do that. just rename the bat file to a txt file.

c:\ps2dev\gcc\ee\bin\ee-gcc -march=r4000 -g -mgp32 -mlong32 -c hellopsp.c
c:\ps2dev\gcc\ee\bin\ee-gcc -march=r4000 -g -mgp32 -mlong32 -c pg.c
c:\ps2dev\gcc\ee\bin\ee-gcc -march=r4000 -g -mgp32 -c -xassembler -O -o startup.o startup.s
c:\ps2dev\gcc\ee\bin\ee-ld -O0 startup.o hellopsp.o pg.o -M -Ttext 8900000 -q -o out > hellopsp.map
outpatch
@echo you got outp as psp elf
Elf2pbp.exe outp Eboot

ps2dev - http://www.internalreality.com/PS2Dev_Setup.zip
toolchain was the

and used the ps2 toolchain. but its probably recomended that you use the new psp toolchain.

Hi,
I'm trying to install the 4.0 toolchain as well and I am running into some problems. I ran the toolchain script but it generates an error when configuring BINUTILS. This is what it says

...

checking whether ln works... yes
checking whether ln -s works... yes
-v: not found
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH
ERROR CONFIGURING BINUTILS (binutils-2.16 psp)

...

Thanks for the help, if there is anything else I need to post to help solve this problem just ask.
Thanks again,
Mike

Yea I just did some searching and found out that was the problem. I'm a real noob when it comes to this. Can you point me in the right direction on where to get gcc?

wulf · Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 81

are you using cygwin? because if you are, and I'm betting that's the case,
you can simply install it from the cygwin installer.

look up a few posts in this thread.. someone else had to install cygwin stuff, so the info you need will be there.

Just bypass cygwin altogether and install linux :)

heh, i've got a noob question for hte linux one. It said in the readme for the linux install to put a few lines in your startup. Where is that on linux... i seriously have no idea. most the internet has told me is fstab but that looks more like partition info.

"Just bypass cygwin altogether and install linux :)"

Or just install cygwin, install the devkit, copy the cygwin dll's to your windows directory and the devkit then behaves like any other DOS app and you can use your favourite (well....) windows/dos editors and forget about *nix althogether.

For those of you wishing to avoid Cygwin, GCC 4.0.0 *should* compile on an Msys/MinGW system out of the box.

Also, there are patches and a toolchain script on Oopos site to make 3.2.2 compile on Msys/MinGW.

Make sure you install the MSys dev toolkit too.

re: where to put the exports:

if you take a look in your home directory, there are a number of "hidden" files.. they start with a period ie .somefile
look for the one that is called .bashrc
this is a text config file for the bash shell, so every time you use bash, this will be loaded.

you can put the exports here:

for example, mine now reads:

Hmmm...anyone successfully install the psp toolchain on winblows machine? Worked fine on my linux box but I would like to set it up at work (we only have win32 here) but for some reason it chokes when building binutils.

Yeah I think your right, stupid RenderWare SDK (ps2 dev) has a make.exe in the path and it was screwing things up. Thanks.
