Compiler Issues

**Addy771** · January 27th, 2008, 07:43

I know that you must get hundreds of these topics, sorry for bothering you guys.

I can't seem to get my PSP compiler to work. I posted in the actual thread, but there hasn't been a reply, so, here it is.

I'm having a problem with this though, and I've done a bunch of things to try and solve it. The error I get now is "/lib/build.mak:24: *** missing separator. Stop.".

This is my makefile

Code:

PSPSDK = $(shell psp-config --pspsdk-path)
TARGET = controller_basic
OBJS = main.o

INCDIR = 
CFLAGS = -O2 -G0 -Wall
CXXFLAGS = $(CFLAGS) -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti
ASFLAGS = $(CFLAGS)

LIBDIR =
LDFLAGS =

EXTRA_TARGETS = EBOOT.PBP
PSP_EBOOT_TITLE = Basic controller sample

include $(PSPSDK)/lib/build.mak

And this is my start.bat

Code:

cd C:\pspdev\psp\sdk\samples\controller\basic
make 
cmd

I've added the PATH variables manually already, they weren't working before. It kept adding a space before '/bin' in one of the paths, and that messed it up.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Tried updating the SDK through SVN?

How would I go about doing that?

And thank you for helping me

Im assuming you are using unix or Winblowz.

type
svn co svn://svn.ps2dev.org/psp/pspsdk then run the configure or bootstrap script. what ever it is.

good luck.

If that doesnt fix it, then reinstall the entire toolchain.

I'm not using the toolchain anymore, I'm using the software stickied in this forum(http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=25564).

Any pre-compiled toolkit will be out of date. Many changes have been made to pspsdk, and continue to be made regularly. Most pre-made kits are REALLY out of date - not supporting the slim, for example.

It's best to set up the toolchain from the script supplied in the repo. If you can't get the tollchain and libraries set up, you're likely to have trouble making PSP specific programs. Note: if you're trying to set up the toolchain via CygWin in Windows, there are and always have been issues with the version of CygWin used. You should read some of the threads on it at the PS2DEV forums.

The latest tutorial on setting up the toolchain and libraries in linux is found here: http://www.guztech.nl/tutorials/38-psp

I tried many times to get psptoolchain to install.

Right now, I don't really care which compiler I'm using, as long as I can actually get into compiling.

I would've installed the psptoolchain on my linux PC, but it requires internet access.

Why cant you use the internet on Linux?

It should "Just work"

**Addy771** · January 31st, 2008, 16:51

Because it is across the house, and I can't move it to where my internet connection is. I do have a wireless router, and the linux PC has a wireless card in it, but it never finds the network. And I know the router works fine, because I connect to it regularly on my PSP for online play.
