[TUTORIAL] Setting up SDK

**Simon66** · 10-03-2010,07:56 PM

Sup all!

I'm not going to tell you guys were to get the latest SDK but you can get oopo's toolchain and maybe use that.

This tutorial is for windows only! (I'll make an Ubuntu version soon)

Download:

• MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe
• MSYS-1.0.10.exe
• msysDTK-1.0.1.exe
• Latest SDK (Don't ask where to get it!)

Once all of these tools are installed, you need to:

• Right-Click on "My Computer"
• Properties
• Advanced
• Environment Variables

Click on new and add:

Variable name: CELL_SDK
Variable value: /c/usr/local/cell

Variable name: LANG
Variable value: C

Variable name: DTNETM
Variable value: hostname or IP address of the Reference Tool

Variable name: PATH
Variable value: c:\msys\1.0\bin;c:\usr\local\cell\host-win32\bin;c:\usr\local\cell\host-win32\ppu\bin;c:\usr\local\cell\host-win32\spu\bin;c:\usr\local\cell\host-win32\Cg\bin

you can check your variables by tipping echo $CELL_SDK and MSYS should say "/c/usr/local/cell"

now type:

This will create the directory for the SDK.

Code:

mkdir -p /c/usr/local

Now make a new folder called cell (leave it at cell for easier usage)
Type the following or go to C:/usr/local and make a new folder named cell

Code:

cd /c/usr/local

Code:

mkdir -p cell

Execute c:\usr\local\cell\host-win32\bin\vcredist_x86.exe to install the Visual C++ library.

Enter the following command and press Enter.

Code:

cp $CELL_SDK/host-win32/etc/gdbinit.ppu ~/.gdbinit.ppu
cp $CELL_SDK/host-win32/etc/gdbinit.spu ~/.gdbinit.spu

And thats it! You can now start un/packing pkg files and even making your own EBOOT files!

This almost looks like a copy and paste of jtanner's howto.

**j4m3s** · 10-04-2010,03:09 PM

worked with testapp.. ocean dident work..
and make gen_pkg only works on open manager.. i think

I'll save you the time of writing a tutorial of how to make a pkg file. type make gen_pkg . There all done

Oh, and here's jtanner's tutorial: http://jamestanner.co.uk/ps3/

I believe it shows how to use the PS3 pkg creator in windows.

awaiting the ubuntu version.....

**stoker25** · 10-05-2010,07:30 PM

Damn... i read your post, and decided i'd write a tutorial to make packages, now after i've posted that i've re-read your post and seen you said you were going to do the same, i guess i subliminally read it the first time around :|

Is this tutorial valid for the 3.41 SDK? Everything is fine until I'm supposed to type:

Code:

cp $CELL_SDK/host-win32/etc/gdbinit.ppu ~/.gdbinit.ppu
cp $CELL_SDK/host-win32/etc/gdbinit.spu ~/.gdbinit.spu

I get this:

Code:

cp: cannot stat `/c/usr/local/cell/host-win32/etc/gdbinit.ppu': No such file or directory

So I just tried to build something and it says:

Code:

Makefile:3: /c/usr/local/cell/samples/mk/sdk.makedef.mk: No such file or directory
Makefile:36: /c/usr/local/cell/samples/mk/sdk.target.mk: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/c/usr/local/cell/samples/mk/sdk.target.mk'.  Stop.

So it would seem I'm missing files from the SDK? Anyone tried setting up 3.41 and have some pointers?

EDIT: It seems copying the 3.41 SDK overtop of the 1.92 is the trick.
