Compiling an eboot with a make file?

[Kaiser]

Okay i've got two make files from the source code I'm trying to port.

makefile.in
makefile.am

I used the command


cd "C:\cygwin\TESTPORT\"

as that is the directory which containss the make files. Then I try...


make

I get no reaction from cygwin after that. How come there is no eboot in my projects folder?

P.S: I fixed the batch file by the way, I didn't forget.

I thought makefiles didn't have extensions (although I could be wrong). What is in the makefiles?

[Kaiser]

I'm not really sure, here is an example of some code in the larger makefile.in

I'm guessing I'm supposed to combine the two files but I really don't know the process. I've attached the two files so you can check them out personally.

Did you actually spend the 4 hours installing the PSPSDK? The same problem you are having occured with me before I discovered that the psptoolchain script must be executed first before compiling anything.

[Kaiser]

The PSPSDK was installed.


I figured it out I had to use the command autogen.sh. That creates a new "makefile". Now trying to compile that into an eboot is my next problem. I type "make" but I cant find an eboot. I downloaded automake-1.9, where do I put it?

[yaustar]

Looking at the makefiles, unless the PSP needs a really complicated method of compling, makefiles should on be one file and A LOT shorter if it is a small program.

See if you can find a sample makefile and adhoc that to fit your installation.

Okay i got one make file from that with no extention I'll fiddle with it tonight and edit this post with my results.

edit: make file not compiling into eboot, more work on the source is required :mad:
