[protomank]

Hello, I'm looking to develop with SDL to PS2.
I've found the SDK for Windows (mingw) and it seems to work fine, but my "native" operating system is Ubuntu, I run Windows inside VMWare.

I searched and found instructions to build the toolchain, but I was wondering if using SDL with it is just a matter of downloading the SDL binaries, or do I have to re-compile SDL for PS2? In this case, is there are instructions for doing so anywhere?

Thanks in advance, and sorry if this was already answered, I searched, but I'm far from perfect ;)

From my experience on ArchLinux, the toolchain builds just fine using a 32-bit (i686) root, but I had trouble building it in my 64-bit (x86-64) root. As I've never used SDL, I'm reasonably sure that you can just check out the sources for it and the various extension libraries, using subversion, then make && make install to have them installed into $PS2SDK/ports.

The url to the sources for ported libraries is svn://svn.ps2dev.org/ps2/trunk/ps2sdk-ports.

Yes, I've run in some problems when building :-(
Even that my Ubuntu is 32 bits, seems like there are some problems compiling gcc

[ooPo]

The version of gcc used by ps2toolchain has problems building with the latest version of gcc used in ubuntu 8.10. You can install an earlier version of gcc and run the script using it:

I had the first problem fixed, but now I run into a ugly overflow:

Yes, I had to do the same and it worked.
Now I only need some time to learn how to use drivers to access files for SDL_image :)
