PSP Dev Tutorials - Setting up the Development Environment

i still have the same problem as shiftybill, and repeating installation from scratch does not help me. (just after isolating the functions that cause the error the things work but you know...this is not the right manners :) )
Currently i'm trying to get pspdev environment work on a gentoo linux box.
Oh...i got some other installation tips like...
"no: no such file or directory"
that probably means that configure script was not able to find some psp exec binary but i cant figure out how to fix this.
any clue? tnx for attention.

GRR! It's been running for 3 HOURS and I get this:

Please, help me! I really do not want to start over... it takes so long... I followed all of the instructions exactly as they were meant to be... why has this happened?

i'm getting an CC1.exe error after it runs for about 15minutes? how do i fix this :(

To download the latest toolchain, go here.

where can i download it?

where do you download the programs??

How much is 'from scratch'?
Im getting exactly the same error as you. "ERROR BUILDING NEWLIB"
So Im running the toolchain script again and it didnt have to redownload it (7kbps--- wouldnt want to do that again). I really hope this works. Does anyone know what causes this?

****EDIT****
It happened again, maybe I should start over completely but it all just takes so flippin long!! AAAGHHH Stupid slow internet!! NOOO! Please if anyone knows whats wrong can they tell me.

****EDIT2***
Toolchain is running now. I redownloaded everything so hopefully itll work this time. The first time i was using an older version of the toolchain so maybe that was the problem. You can download the latest version from http://www.oopo.net/consoledev/ (or go to www.ps2dev.org and follow the links to that page) my version is 20060120 (non experimental version). There's a bit of a trick to extracting it tho. Inside the .tar file you download is a single file with no extension. Extract this file, give it the extension .zip and then extract that. Everything should be there.

***EDIT3***READ THIS IF YOUR HAVING TROUBLE
Ok it worked so heres what I did different the second time round. I made sure I had the newest version (currently 20060120) of the toolchain, availiable at http://www.oopo.net/consoledev/
When installing Cygwin I installed everything under the devel section and selected wget from the web section.
I didnt use my pc whilst the script was running - this probably has no effect but hey, I sure as hell didnt want to have to do it... AGAIN!!

So best of luck to the rest of you and I hope I can contribut something to the communty in the not too distant future.

hm, i'd like to setup the toolchain, but i have absolutely no experience with linux. I'm using Cygwin right now.
i tried to follow this tutorial: http://www.scriptscribbler.com/psp/t...s/lesson01.htm
but some (minor) problems occurred:

- i installed cygwin
- i downloaded the lates toolchain (psptoolchain-20060120.tgz)
- extracted it in c:\cygwin\home\myname

and now, i want to set it up, the tutorial, as well as the readme in the toolchain says:

Basically, you run the toolchain script:

## Make the script executable.
chmod a+x ./toolchain.sh

## Run the script.
./toolchain.sh

but if i do so, the cygwin-command line window says "ERROR: please make sure you have 'patch' installed."

hm...how can i install this patch?
in this directory, there are 4 files, containing the word 'patch':
- newlib-1.13.0.patch
- gcc-4.0.2.patch
- gdb-6.3.patch
- binutils-2.16.1.patch

what do i have to do now? how can i install a patch and wich one?

any help is welcome and please make sure, i have never even seen any linux before today ;)

I dont get the bit about when u set up the enviromentwhere do u run the cygwin bash shell from its not clear enoughplease could you explain it in detail please

Now, we are going to install the toolchain into our CYGWIN environment. To set up our environment, we will need to run CYGWIN first. So, either from the start menu, or from "C:/cygwin," run a CYGWIN bash shell (cygwin.bat). This will open up a command line.

If you are going to miss little details like this, then you going to have one hell of a time trying to set up this development environemt.

hi i cannot install toolchain. i downloaded it and extracted it to c:cygwin/home/mike/psptoolchain
