QJ.net Game Discussion - PSP, Xbox, Wii, PS3, PSP Homebrew, and PSP Guides

Ive decided that Lua is a bit too much for me (im still working on projects for it)
so I have decided to actually make my own homebrew.
I have never made it before but I got some help on the chat of qj.net.
The thing is, when I was looking at the psp-programming guide, it said I have to update the files in the cygwin bash file.
So It was kinda hard to understand, so I went to Sousanators Guide on how to install it.
I got this thing called CygWinPSP, the tutorial so far said nothing about this, so I went ahead and downloaded the setupn for cygwin.
I installed it as sousnators guide said, and it was installed.
So then, I looked at psp-programming's tutorial, and later on it said to put my toolchain folder in C:/cygwin/home/myuser (as in my username)
so I did, but the thing is, when I went to type ls, it gave me a list of files.
So then I typed in cd toolchain, then it sent me to the toolchain directory, so then it said to type in ls, I typed it in, so it gave me a bit more files in the toolchain folder, it then said to type svn update, I typed it in and it gave me an error:
bash: svn: command not found. I thought this was nothing so i skipped that and went ahead to where it said to type in ./toolchain.sh
I typed that in and it gave me this error:
ERROR: Please make sure you have GNU 'make' installed.
It keeps giving me this error, the chatter on the Flash Chat said to post a thread to see if you guys could help.
I dont understand, I just want to make a simple eboot and eboot% homebrew for 1.5, and this error just pops up when I type in: ./toolchain.sh
What am i doing wrong?

I don't understand, you thought Lua was too much so you want to use C/C++ with cygwin? You do realise it is a step UP in difficulty?

Stick with LUA.

Argh, I have my reasons, serioulsy can't anyone help me?
I got this cygwin PSP zip file, its extracing onto my desktop right now, theres a main.c file, a Make File, a Howto.txt file and a cygwin folder.
Im going to replace it with the current cygwin folder I have.
Should I perform?

I'm not sure, but i think he's talking about modding luaplayer

**joshdb** · 08-17-2006, 01:40 PM

Reinstall CYGWIN and make sure you check the 'make' library when you come to that screen.

**Gonrai** · 08-17-2006, 02:37 PM

Okay, now this is really starting to tick me off,
before it said:
ERROR: please make sure you have 'make' installed
And now, it sais:
ERROR: please make sure you have 'automake' installed
What next? an autoautomake???????
