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

 Makefile.in generated by automake 1.9.6 from Makefile.am.

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
