Now that you have your compilers ready to build for the
Playstation 2 platforms EE and IOP
processor it's time to move onto the programming library
called PSX2LIB (this project has been initiated
by Gustavo Scotti and is actively being worked on).
What you first might want to do is download my PSX2LIB
package here and
the corresponding patch to make it work with the new compilers
here.
You should already have the path to both the compilers
in your environment, if not please add the following lines
to your .bashrc or .profile (in your
home directory of Cygwin or LiNUX):
Copy the downloaded ps2lib-2.0.tar.gz
and the ps2lib-2.0-GCC322.digg.gz to a directory of your
choice (e.g. /home/<username>/ps2dev)
Unpack the archive with the following commandline
tar -zxf ps2lib-2.0.tar.gz
Now we have to patch the downloaded release to make
it work with the new compilers (this patch also changes
the IOP processor prefixes to the mipsel target)
tar -zxf ps2lib-2.0-GCC322.diff.gz
patch -p0<ps2lib-2.0-GCC322.diff
Now change into the directory that the unpacking created
cd ps2lib-2.0
Now that you know where your PS2LIB is residing on
the harddisk it would be time to add the following line
to your .bashrc (via vi ~/.bashrc):
export PS2LIB="~/ps2dev/ps2lib-2.0"
If you are not starting a new BASH right away you should
also execute this command in your current shell since
you need this variable during the build process.
Now we can compile the library, the utils and the samples
make lib
make utils
make samples
NOTE:
The make all command will compile
everything in one go.
Now you have your GNU PS2™ Development library
compiled for the Emotion Engine and the IOP.
