Ive been looking for how to setup SDL/SDL_Image for the devkit and aren't sure what to do. I've found the SVN but not sure what I need or how to set it up. Any info would be great.

[jimparis]

Read README.PSP

[b00st]

don't think Im reading this right. autogen.sh doesn't download anything. I have to download everything in the /trunk/SDL folder, don't I? Im not really sure how to use SVN. lil help?

(sorry if im being a pest, but if it helps me, it'll probably help a few other people)

###EDIT###
Realised the toolkit had to download PSPSDK via SVN. looked through toolchain.sh and found what I needed.
svn checkout svn://svn.ps2dev.org/psp/trunk/SDL

Thanks anyway

[b00st]

ok, now i ./autogen.sh and all is fine. Next, I try

LDFLAGS="-L'/usr/local/pspdev/bin/psp-config.exe --/usr/local/pspdev/psp/sdk' /lib -lc -lpspuser -lpsputility" ./configure --host psp --prefix='/usr/local/pspdev/bin/psp-config.exe --psp-prefix'

but I get 'checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables'

I can upload the config.log if it'll help...

[jimparis]

I don't know where you got that command, but it's wrong. Use the one in README.PSP:

[b00st]

jimparis: My command is the same, except I put the whole path to psp-config.

I fixed it up anyway and tried again with the same result. Im guessing this is a compiler problem. The line it is breaking on is:

checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

its looking right at psp-gcc, and I know it works because I've built the samples in the PSPSDK with it...

looking at the config.log, i see a line:
configure:2623: psp-gcc conftest.c >&5
then there are a few 'undefined reference to' lines. Some of them are 'sceKernelCreateThread' and 'sceKernelStartThread'. It then goes on to show the actual conftest.c which is just something like:

int main () {
;
return 0;
}

Would it be because psp-gcc is looking for all that psp goodness we add to every program? BTW, is it just me or has anyone else had this problem?

[jimparis]

[b00st]

even when I copy and paste the command from README.PSP i get the same thing. I dont think this is from an incorrect ./configure.
Afterwards, if i 'echo $LDFLAGS' I get
-L/user/local/pspdev/psp/sdk/lib -lc -lpspuser -lpsputility
I think thats what it should be. :(

[b00st]

Still getting the same results... So, noone can help at the moment?

[jimparis]

No idea, it works here. Maybe try removing and reinstalling everything from a clean slate (http://wiki.ps2dev.org/psp:programming_faq)

[b00st]

Yeah, I removed cygwin and reinstalled it today hoping it would fix it. Followed the link you gave exactly. I was thinking, Its not an environment variable I haven't set or anything, do you think? The only ones Ive set are the three it said to add to by .bashrc:

## PSPDEV PATH SETTINGS
export PSPDEV="/usr/local/pspdev"
export PSPSDK="$PSPDEV/psp/sdk"
export PATH="$PATH:$PSPDEV/bin:$PSPSDK/bin"

Also, would it help if I did my './configure > output.txt' so you could take a look?

[jimparis]

Sure, paste that (and config.log) on rafb.net/paste

[b00st]

ok, I pasted it to http://rafb.net/paste/results/blfdqK44.html

You have 24 hours from now to view it, but i can repaste if needed or send to you as a text file.
Thanks for being patient and not just ignoring my rants.

Well of course the best place to start is the first error:

[b00st]

Ah my goodness! Tried it again with

Being a complete n00b, where does SDL go in the first place? I'm trying to compile Rob's PSP PDA and it needs SDL. I know how to get it out of SVN but that's about it, and not even sure where to put it.

Then I guess I have to execute the stuff in the readme.psp in the Cygwin command prompt, or is that to include it into your project? (Rob's project has that already of course).

So what's the minimum I should do to be able to compile a project that already uses SDL in its makefile? If anyone can help me that would save me heaps of time of mucking about ... thanks!

[jimparis]

Just follow README.PSP and it will get installed into /usr/local/pspdev/psp/lib. Make sure you're running bash to avoid the problems above.

how to install SDL with devkitpro ?

I found automake and autoconf for mingw but still don't work
./autogen.sh: /bin/aclocal: No such file or directory
./autogen.sh: /bin/automake: No such file or directory
/bin/autoconf: /usr/bin/autom4te: No such file or directory
/bin/autoconf: /usr/bin/autom4te: No such file or directory
./autogen.sh: /bin/aclocal: No such file or directory
./autogen.sh: /bin/automake: No such file or directory
/bin/autoconf: /usr/bin/autom4te: No such file or directory
/bin/autoconf: /usr/bin/autom4te: No such file or directory

I installed active perl and copied all the files from c:\perl\bin\ in mingw bin, and it work but seems to freeze after writting "This may take a while ..."
I'm waiting since 10min ...

[Orion_]

ok I installed mingw DTK and it work

[Orion_]

I think the problem above (using devkitpro) is because:
psp-config --psp-prefix
give:
/c/devkitPro/devkitpsp/psp

and it should be:
/c/devkitPro/devkitPSP/psp

I tried with case sensitive path and it work pretty well :)

Hi all!

Didn't want to create a new thread for this.

I tried to compile SDL from subversion and after running the command

[droneuath]

Issue is resolved, repository was broken. I did a final svn checkout to be sure its the latest version and got it working ;)

[Thanhda]

got some building issue. dont know why.

[ufoz]

I just spent some time getting SDL to work, maybe it should be noted in the README.PSP file that the SDL_main function needs to have
