In order to be able to build the
toolchains for both of Playstation
2™ processors (Emotion Engine
and Input/Output Processor) you
have to have the CygWin Environment installed or
you have to use LiNUX as your development
system.
This Cygwin toolkit gives you a UNiX-like
environment on Windows, including all the well-known
GNU tools, a GCC compiler and BINUTILS.
The best and easiest way is to download the setup.exe
file which can be downloaded here.
Here's a step-by-step walkthrough of how to install the
environment.
- Download the setup.exe
- Make a directory where the installer should be downloaded
to
- The tool will ask what it should do. Choose Download
from Internet
- Push button Next->
- Browse to the installer directory you created
- Push button Next->
- Choose appropriate internet configuration
(mostly direct connection will do fine)
- Push button next->
Choose a mirror close to you
- Push button next->
On the next page you can select which packages to download
(I would prefer just downloading all of these packages they migh come
in handy)
- Push button next->
- Sit back and enjoy a lengthy download
After the download finished you have the complete CygWin-Installer residing
on your harddisk. Now it is time to install the
packages you just downloaded:
- Run setup.exe again
- This time choose Install from Local Directory
- Choose the installer-directory (it's your source)
and hit Next-->
- Choose a destination-directory (e.g. C:/Cygwin)
and hit Next-->
- The installer starts it's work
Locate the folder Cygnus Solutions in your Startmenu and start CygWin
Bash Shell. If a BASH prompt appears the installation was successful.
Now you have a UNiX environment within your Windows.
Before being able to build the Cross Compiler, the tools
and libraries for the Playstation 2T you need the
sources for the components. You can grab the source packages
here.
You will need the following packages:
(NOTE:The standard GNU packages do not offer target platforms for
the EE or IOP processor, so here is a link to the already patched
set of sources for both processors)
- binutils-2.13.2.1.tar.bz2 (original GNU package)
- binutils-2.13.2.1-EE.diff.gz (PS2 EE/IOP patch)
- gcc-3.2.2.tar.bz2 (original GNU package)
- gcc-3.2.2-EE.diff.gz (PS2 EE/IOP patch)
