There have been several people who have had absolutely no problem at all building a working toolchain under cygwin.

I suspect you haven't actually installed cygwin properly if things are not installing 'no matter how many times i d/l it'.

I further suspect that you've been mucking around with the build scripts, skipping parts that didn't want to build. This would lead to things like 'ppu-cc: command not found'.

The scripts have checks for a reason. They fail for a reason. Fixing problems, instead of glossing over it, may be a good plan.

The ppu part worked for me, at first try, with first released working toolchain.

My cygwin was a full install made last year, in summer, from belgium server. Maybe a little something changed in cygwin distro since that time.

What is sure, is it's possible to just winrar the whole cygwin directory, backup it somewhere and just unrar it later on whatever machine.

There is a post in this forum about the little additional steps required to have the toolchains work again (repair symbolic links, setup registry).

So... if someone has a completely working and valid cygwin, with all existing toolchains (ps3, ps2, psp, xb1, 360, etc...), he can publish the "snapshot". I will be pleased to help writing a script to fix the links.
(will probably require Gigabytes... But it's a nice project in itself)

For now, I'm missing the spu part. So I'm not a good candidate yet.

i had cygwin running perfectly on my computer until i upgraded hdd's and had to wipe alot of my bootable harddrive. (long story) maybe it is something in the registry or something?
