Open-ps2-loader compile guide discussions/submissions

@Gilgamesh88 : you do not need anymore to set LANG/LC_ALL as jimmikaelkael has changed some Rules in rev211 so you can modify your tutorial.
And I do not need anymore my script.

[Bauldrick]

I've gotten thus far on my NAS:

    * ps2hdd.irx
Compressing...
Unknown option ÿ
make: *** [all] Error 255
matt@LinkStation:~/open-ps2-loader$

Following jimmi's latest tutorial (excellent by the way) on debian Squeeze

[jimmikaelkael]

Then you have a problem with ps2-packer.
Did it happen to build/install fine ?

Let me know if you changed some commands in order to prepare your dev set up on Debian Squeeze so that I can update Linux Guides.

[Bauldrick]

It seems to finish compiling, I'm ssh'd into it and didn't stay infront of it last time. Just built it again and get lots of warnings, mostly about incompatable pointer or such.

Here's the end of make http://pastebin.com/f35f05649 and make install http://pastebin.com/f7f296a85

I didn't make any changes to commands I think Ubuntu is Debians little brother is it not ?

Thanks, I'll look to it.

Sure, but I may have missed one sudo or anything else in the guide, so that you may have to deduce it yourself, that's what I meant.

EDIT: It seems ps2-packer compiled and installed fine.
What happen what you're trying to run ps2-packer command yourself ?

[Bauldrick]

If I simply run ps2-packer I get :

matt@LinkStation:/usr/local/ps2dev/ps2-packer$ ps2-packer
PS2-Packer v0.4.5 (C) 2004-2005 Nicolas "Pixel" Noble

Unknown option ÿ

Don't know why/who/what puts that option in....

matt@LinkStation:/usr/local/ps2dev/ps2-packer$ ps2-packer --help
PS2-Packer v0.4.5 (C) 2004-2005 Nicolas "Pixel" Noble
This is free software with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

Usage: ps2-packer [-v] [-a X] [-b X] [-p X] [-s X] [-r X] <in_elf> <out_elf>
-v verbose mode.
-b base sets the loading base of the compressed data. When activated
it will activate the alternative packing way.
-p packer sets a packer name. n2e by default.
-s stub sets another uncruncher stub. stub/n2e-asm-1d00-stub,
or stub/n2e-0088-stub when using alternative packing.
-r reload sets a reload base of the stub. Beware, that will only works
with the special asm stubs.
-a align sets section alignment. 16 by default. Any value accepted.

matt@LinkStation:~/open-ps2-loader$ ps2-packer main.elf OPNPS2LD.ELF > /dev/null
Unknown option ÿ

matt@LinkStation:~/open-ps2-loader$ ls
CHANGELOG LICENSE README gfx loader modules pc
CREDITS Makefile asm include main.elf obj src

I guess it's compiled is there any other method to compress the elf ? Or is ps2-packer the only way? Would main.elf actually load (haven't even tried yet)?

Jimmi - I think step 2 is missing a sudo and step 3 needs to cd ps2toolchain

[loki7777]

main.elf will work

[Bauldrick]

Following the guide on a mipsel box the script fails at building newlib-1.10.0.

This appears to be because of 'config.guess'

Config.guess failed to determine the host type.  You need to specify one.

I took config.guees from binutils-2.14 and newlib built without needing to specify host type.

So... how can config.guess inside newlib be updated? It's timestamp was 2001 as opposed to binutils 2003 - if indeed I'm on the right track? I'll have to manually install the rest on this box

Jimmi - I think step 2 is missing a sudo and step 3 needs to cd ps2toolchain

The sudo is not needed as the 'cd' above bring you to your home user dir.

For step 3 you're right, I missed it
Thx.
