I have been setting up cygwin over the last few days and finding some errors. Im following the tutorial from internalreality and the first thing I came across was the 'slashes' being different often.

ex. set PS2DEV=C:\cygwin/ps2dev
set PS2GCC=%PS2DEV%/gcc

I tried the test file that comes along with the ps2lib sample file and got an error. I got this fix by changing all the slashes to \ since thats windows and Linux uses /

Now I am getting more errors that will go to much to explain fully right now. What I want to know is has anyone else tried this tutorial successfully and is there any other options to compile source code or will it be easier for me to make a linux partition on my PC and stick with this routine.

Thanks.

Can anyone point me in the right directing...to a tutorial, suggestions, other options...please.

Yes, people have successfully used that tutorial before. I have no idea what it's telling you to do, and I'm not a windows user, so I can't really help say what you are doing wrong ;) Sorry.


You might want to take a look at This thread, which just happens to be a sticky at the top of this same board...

Thanks,

I will give you a little more information when I get home from work after I run it again.

I have read that tutorial but I thought it was for people putting it on a linux system, I will post again when I can clarify whats going on..worse come to worse I will start from scratch and give it another whirl.

With Cygwin installed, you can also use ooPo's toolchain autobuild script:
http://www.oopo.net/consoledev/

After installing I had to add some environment variables to my .bash_profile:

[bbchazz]

Isn't the .bash_profile only available when using Linux?

[misfire]

Actually, this file comes with Cygwin:
e.g. D:\cygwin\home\misfire\.bash_profile

Ok, everything looks to go just fine until it gets to the following point:

ee-gcc: C:cygwinps2devps2lib/ee/startup/crt0.o: No such file or directory
make: *** [pad.elf] Error 1

Now, I know what looks funny with that, the start of the directory has no slashes but I don't know where this line comes from to fix it.

[misfire]

You have to set the PS2LIB environment variable under Win XP:
C:\cygwin\ps2dev\ps2lib
And take care of the backslashes.

thanks for the help..i ended up using the toolchain to set up the env much easier.
