Hey, guys.
I am triyng to compile the gsKit using the make clean and then Make install, i use an precompiled toolchain with mingw/msys, and when i do a make install i get a error about the libgskit.a and another file.a
So the gskit cames already cmpiled? if no, what i need to compile it?
Since then, thanks!

ps.: my ps2dev path is: c:/ps2dev
i placed the gsKit dir like this:
c:/ps2dev/gsKit i enter this dir and do a make clean and a meka install and on this stage i receive the error about ligskit.a

The details of your problem are too vague, if you could copy-paste error output, then someone might be able to help you ;-)

I think it is not compiled.
You need first to run "make all" and then "make install".

[Lukasz]

There should be a dependency between install and all target in the makefile.

I find it more likely that he doesn't have the $PS2DEV environment variable set.

hi, people.
sorry for the bad explanation, it's because i wasn't in home...
Now i took the error that msys returns.
Here is them:

first i did a make clean

I see a discrepance on the output of the "make install" :

Yan@YANSPC /c/ps2dev/gsKit
$ make install
GSKITSRC=`pwd` make -C ee install
make[1]: Entering directory `/c/ps2dev/gsKit/ee'
GSKITSRC=/c/ps2dev/gsKit make -C gs install
make[2]: Entering directory `/c/ps2dev/gsKit/ee/gs'
GSKITSRC=/c/ps2dev/gsKit make -C src install
make[3]: Entering directory `/c/ps2dev/gsKit/ee/gs/src'
make[3]: Nothing to be done for `install'.
make[3]: Leaving directory `/c/ps2dev/gsKit/ee/gs/src'
GSKITSRC=/c/ps2dev/gsKit make -C include install
make[3]: Entering directory `/c/ps2dev/gsKit/ee/gs/include'
mkdir -p /usr/local/ps2dev/gsKit/include
cp *.h /usr/local/ps2dev/gsKit/include

So, the GSKITSRC seems to be set OK to your path but the mkdir and cp points to a different location. I'm not familiar with msys but the "/usr/local/" pahts are typical of cygwin environment not to mention linux.

I'm not sure what causes the different path setting but again I'm not familiar with msys.

Hmm did you set the GSKITSRC to /c/ps2dev/gsKit ?
If msys is like cygwin regarding paths, you should set GSKITSRC like

GSKITSRC=/usr/local/ps2dev/gsKit
or better
GSKITSRC=$(PS2DEV)/gsKit

Anyway I see a mix of paths i don't compreend why, for example, from the "make all" output :

[methos3]

yeah, i saw this differences too.
was looking in the Makefiles to know what the make install wants on the usr/local/ps2dev/gskit, but i didn't understand.
when i get home I will try to set the $GSKITSRC to $PS2DEV/gsKit

[methos3]

hey, now i think i got the gskit installed!

here is a snapshot of the make install

[methos3]

Hey, i think this time it's intalled right.
I just setled GSKIT = "$(PS2DEV)/gsKit", copied the ksKit from the svn to the ps2dev dir (/c/ps2dev) and and did a "make all" and then a "make install", and got the following error:

[cosmito]

[methos3]

thanks, man!
I will set the GSKITSRC on the same path than GSKIT then, (/c/ps2dev).
And i had to modify on tthe Makefile.pref the PS2DEV path, that was set to usr/local/ps2dev/gsKit, and I changed to my ps2dev path.
And only another thing...
what kind of Makefile i need do compile a program using the gskit and ps2sdk libs at the same time?
I tried to include the Makefile.global and Makefile.pref from the gsKit and from the ps2sdk to the Makefile and it didn't work.

For example:

[methos3]

Hey, I was seeing the Makefile.global from gsKit, and to mix it with the ps2sdk Makefile.eeglobal, I did this:

[cosmito]

As you know, the Makefile tells the GCC how to build the code and where are the source files. So you basically need to see what the gskit and the ps2sdk makefiles have in common and use this on your new makefile. I didn't looked closely to your makefile, but as a general rule, if it compiles it should be ok ;)

BTW : I don't know exactly what is the Xlinker but doing a quick search on "Xlinker gcc" I realised it's not specific to the PS2 dev.

Once you have compiled gsKit into a lib, you just need to tell your makefile to use it. So you don't need to set all the stuff from the gsKit building makefile.

[methos3]

hm, i was getting trouble with the last Makefile, causing conflicts in the stdio lib... (i was trying to use gskit and pad.h).
I looked the Makefile.global to see what was causing this and didn't see nothing wrong.
For some reason right after looking your post I started to look on the dirs and got the $(GSKIT)/ee/Rules.make
Its almost exactly equal to the Makefile.eeglobal, but tells the compiler to use the gskit libs.
See the Rules.make:

[cosmito]

To use the gsKit I usually do include at the end of my makefile :

[methos3]

Hey, thanks!
yesterday I did a makefile like this:

[cosmito]

[methos3]

So i will alternate the tow makefiles ^^
One day I can use my Makefile and on the next day I can use your Makefile hehe.
Thanks for the help, buddy!
