How to compile multiMAN

[signupnow]

This thread is dedicated to the people who wants to compile Multiman by themselves.

The code is hosted (Link from Dean post) here : MM on GoogleCode

Required for Windows :

- PS3 3.40 SDK
- Build needs two headers for peek & poke (Thanks to dean, they are attached to this post)
The headers need to be in an include folder (keeping the "psl1ght" folder)

Follow Dean's post to setup everything (How to compile multiMAN)

You can use Cygwin instead of MinGW MSY & msysDTK.

We don't need a multiMAN clone, if you want to compile something go port some SDL games or emulators to PS3.

[bitsbubba]

besides you'll be compiling everyday with the changes Dean makes. I believe there is a clone Vortex or something like that



Edit: I know what Dean uses to compile, but sadly I'm not a liberty to say

[signupnow]

Yeah, I already have PSl1ght on my dev machine but i'd like to compile MM to see if I can play with it.
I've already reported bug on the ps3toolchain to make it work on Ubuntu LTS.

I always prefer install some binaries I compiled myself to understand how it works.

EDIT: If nobody's interested in that question, an admin can delete this thread

You do realize people may want to compile the latest revision on their own? They aren't trying to clone multiman. Chill out and understand what people are saying.

The OP is merely pointing out how to compile the source so people will know how. The source is available for a reason, so people want to take advantage of it. if you can't provide any details on how to compile the source, don't comment.

Since obviously no one wants to help because for some reason they think your going to clone it, use the official SDK or Cell SDK(Are they the same thing? I haven't looked at anything other then PSl1GHT in awhile so my memory is a bit funny) I believe that is what it's using.

Damn now people can't even compile the source code for their own personal enjoyment without people bitching that they shouldn't. This scene is becoming a joke. People would much rather keep everything in the hands of the chosen few, instead of allowing the community to help each other. This scene is going down a slippery slope and it's going down rather quickly here lately.

@OP I'm pretty sure the Cell SDK is required. The reason why I say that is because of the following taken from the makefile.

To the person I quoted and everyone else that goes along with him; if you aren't going to help the OP. Don't post. He merely asked how to compile the source for his own personal needs. The source was released for the community to add features, mess around with, or simply compile in case the latest revision isn't available at the exact time that the person wants it.

Why do people need to wait for Dean if he provides the means to do it themselves? Quit stifling people's desire to learn from the tools and code they are given!!!

EDIT: I have the official Sony SDK and the old PSl1ght+ Sony SDK on my machine. It's using evil sperm's v1 VMware. So if you need it let me know and I'll upload it. As I believe it's the only VM that has both the original PSl1ght + the official SDK. So that way you can compile homebrew that uses the Sony SDK. If you need a VM that uses the latest PSl1ght grab the one that uses fedora here (PSL1GHT VM with PSL1GHT v2)

I hope that helps you. If you have anymore problems please PM me since the other two in this thread would rather find ways to keep you from using the source that dean graciously gave us. (which is pretty out there considering dean wouldn't release the source unless he wants people to use it.)

EDIT2: Yup it uses the Sony SDK like I thought. Thanks to Square .

Thanks xPreatorianx, I looked in the makefiles too and had the same idea for the official SDK, I already have an EvilSperm VM and i will try to install the SDK on my own. Since MM can use Move button I suppose it's 3.41. I'll try that

[deank]

psl1ght also supports move controllers.

Nice to know, thanks!

[subcon959]

If it needs psl1ght v1 then it might be a headache if you don't know which revision as stuff was changed around almost constantly.

[MateoGodlike]

This thread is dedicated to the people who wants to compile Multiman by themselves.

The only thing I know for sure is that it won't compile on Ubuntu & PSL1ght V2 (and with PSL1ght V1 neither apparently)
Is the official SDK needed? 1.92 or 3.40? Under Linux or Windows?

The code is hosted (Link from Dean post) here : MM on GoogleCode

So i'll edit my post with the requirements to compile MM when I know them.

How Would i download the Whole SRC Folder?
