I have installed it 3 times and each time it hasn't worked. ( all different mirrors )

It allways says I don't have auto make but yet when I check my bin folder I have every version of automake.

What the hell is wrong?

**Access_Denied** · 08-17-2006, 04:15 PM

It works.

**SG57** · 08-17-2006, 04:20 PM

Access_Denied wouldnt know

And if you really are that desperate to start compiling, geta linux distribution, install it on your harddrive/CD/xbox(modded) and just install the toolchain. I have an Xbox with X-DSL + the toolchain installed, so i can compile on the go. (Yes i havea USB -> Xbox controller wire thing so i can transfer)

**Zettablade** · 08-17-2006, 04:22 PM

Some computers it refuses to work with. Take my dad's for example. No matter how many times I tried, it never wanted to install. But then I got my computer running, and it worked perfectly. Go figure.

How is this relavent?

You probably havn't setup $PATH properly, or broke it, as it cant find automake.

Just my idea

**Mister Chief** · 08-17-2006, 04:24 PM

$path?

**SG57** · 08-17-2006, 04:30 PM

harleyg - How is it NOT relevant? I said to get a linux distro either on his HDD or a CD, boot up to it and there isnt a need for cygwin as your already in a linux envirorment. And just to make things clear, I said how I got compiling on my Xbox. And no, automake, autoconf, svn, etc. all were pre-installed into the X-DSL, so all i really needed to do was open up the terminal, svn in and get the toolchain folder, and start installing. Took around...8 hours. Took up around 1.6 gb, leaving 400 mb left on my F drive.

**Mister Chief** · 08-17-2006, 04:32 PM

I have no clue how to install linux.

Once again, not relavent to his question.

`echo $PATH` please...

**Mister Chief** · 08-17-2006, 04:38 PM

What is this $PATH thing?

**nathan42100** · 08-17-2006, 04:40 PM

$PATH is a variable that (I think) points to the location of the compiled psp toolchain.

**Mister Chief** · 08-17-2006, 04:41 PM

As soon as I type ./toolchain.sh it says I am missing automake.

How do I fix it?

BTW I have automake 1.4 - 1.9

**hàrléyg²** · 08-17-2006, 04:44 PM

PATH (the directories the shell should search to find a command)

Err... ya...

Why wouldn't I know? I've set it up using that tutorial on 3 different PCs.

One way:

1. Download Ubuntu (use BitTorrent and you'll have it in no time - mine went at around 500 kb/s)
2. Burn it to a CD
3. Restart computer and go into BIOS to make sure your CD drive is before your HDD in the boot order
4. Follow instructions

Of course, setting up the toolchain isn't always problem-free in Linux either.

**Mister Chief** · 08-17-2006, 05:09 PM

Whats a good mirror?

**Access_Denied** · 08-17-2006, 06:25 PM

You know if you go to ubuntu.com, they'll send you 5 free copies in the mail.

**Electro** · 08-17-2006, 06:32 PM

5??
thell send you 100 if you asked them

**SG57** · 08-17-2006, 06:44 PM

Why? lololol.... You could then sell them on Ebay ?

**Gonrai** · 08-17-2006, 06:59 PM

Well I dont understand, it can't find my automake files either, but I am still able to make eboots, would the eboots not work if I have not installed auto make? Even though auto make is infact on my C:/ drive?

**hàrléyg²** · 08-18-2006, 02:00 AM

No one has has helped him with his cygwin problem.
You people say get linux and i bet 1. you use ubuntu and 2. most of you don't even know the basics of linux, so stop recommending it.

Mister Chief, echo $PATH please...

**SG57** · 08-18-2006, 03:04 AM

harleyg.... helping...... HAHAH! That's a knee slapper

I could have sworn he was supposed to be making a new firmware.

And your help is so vague it makes me think if you are an [Edit: GOT YOU BANNED] for not re-reading your advice to make sense of what you said, if you knew nothing of *nix commands.

He means to open up cygwin (run it, w/e) and type in 'echo $PATH' which, by my understandings, 'echo' (aka does a printf) the string stored in the register 'PATH'... Please correct me if Im wrong, as it's simple ASM, but I dont know if linux scripting commands use it...

**will1234** · 08-18-2006, 04:35 AM

anyway hes setting up the sdk as i type this. i helped him on msn

Yeah I did.

**hàrléyg²** · 08-18-2006, 05:37 AM

What was the output?

**Mister Chief** · 08-18-2006, 05:50 AM

Alot of stuff.

Doesn't matter now as it works.

**hàrléyg²** · 08-18-2006, 05:55 AM

Okey dokey.

Isn't that the point though? That you can use Ubuntu without knowing how to use the command line? It's the same with Windows, you don't have to know DOS commands to run Windows. The process of getting the toolchain up and running is largely the same; the only extra things he would need help with are file permissions, and that wouldn't take long to teach.

Besides, I like to promote open source whenever I get the chance, which is why I always tell people I use 7-zip, OpenOffice, the GIMP, Firefox, Thunderbird...

Sorry for posting in a resolved thread
