The high public demand surprises me a bit. So if the links below do not work try this one (this leads to rapidshare mirrored files) https://www.hostco.de/temp/pspdevgentoo.html

Hi there,

I was a bit frustrated with Cygwin+PSP Toolchain so I created a gentoo linux environment for VMWare. Now I had the situation that already two guys could use this so I uploaded the virtual hard disk of it for you to download and enjoy.
VMWare is a software which runs on Windows and Linux and is able to boot up other operating systems alongside your host operating system. With the virtual hard disk from me you can rather easily compile your projects with this. With Samba folder sharing, you can connect directories of the virtual machine to your windows machine too.

To get the gentoo linux environment running you have to download the free VMWare Player software. Read about all this in the Readme packed with the files.

You can download the virtual machine and read some necessary setup steps over there: http://gentoo.pspuae.com

Preinstalled on the virtual machine are: mc, gpm, screen, samba, psp toolchain, ps2 toolchain

All files hosted by the courtesy of FOL (member of the PSPUAE team, thanks alot!)

cheers!

this sounds like a dream, and seems like its getting positive review, i must check it out

even with a linux installed this does help things out, no bouncing kvm switches or yo-yo booting

Indeed, although I cant use the new toolchain atm, as it throws all odd errors, with optimisation flags, . This is still worth using :thumbup:

What FOL meantioned were incompatible problems on his project, the odd errors are not directly related to the Gentoo Linux Environment released here.

Aye, I should have explained myself better.

FOL: it seems we killed your server

I'm making rapidshare mirror links right now

I updated the first post with a new link leading to rapidshare mirrored files.

Eurgh, I hate rapidshare. Nice work on the files though I've already got my own way out of using cygwin though (colinux ftw )
