Can't build toolchain on Linux

[Leo28C]

Hello everyone!

I got it installed on Windows, but can't do it in Linux (Fedora 8). Error is:

mkdir -p -- psp/libgloss
Configuring in psp/libgloss
configure: creating cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... Invalid configuration `psp': machine `psp' not recognized
configure: error: /bin/sh ../../../libgloss/../config.sub psp failed

make[1]: *** [configure-target-newlib] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/leo/psptoolchain/newlib-1.15.0/build-psp'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I believe I have all required packages installed... I did a Google search and found some forum topics (many here on QJ), but none helped me (most were for Cygwin anyways).

Hmm... I did uninstall Windows, but I kept the Cygwin installation. Maybe I can use those with Wine?

Thanks in advance!

Well, it's pretty clear that something failed earlier in the toolchain process. How are you trying to build it? I believe the proper way on a Linux machine is to do sudo ./toolchain-sudo.sh (but I'm not sure...all I know is that that worked for me).

Send Hardrive a PM I think he has it installed on fedora.

The very latest tutorial for setting up the toolchain on linux can be found here:
http://www.guztech.nl/tutorials/38-psp

While it specifically uses Ubuntu, it can be used almost unchanged with any distro.

EDIT: oh, I just remembered something about Fedora - one of the packages is too new for the current pspsdk toolchain. If I remember correctly, it's the makeinfo package. There's a thread on that over at the ps2dev forums.

It's the TeXinfo package and a workaround to it can be found here

The same thing happened to me (Fedora 8).

TeXinfo (which gives you makeinfo) is messed up. Version 4.11 (which is what comes with Fedora) doesn't report its version number correctly. I downloaded the newest version of TeXinfo and installed that (version 4.9).

Here's the link to the TeXinfo site:

Oooh. Okay, I'll try it out whenever I get back on it. Thanks y'all very much! =D
