Pre-built homebrew PlayStation 2 MinGW toolchain
This package contains a prebuilt PlayStation 2 homebrew toolchain, libraries and tools.
All these were the latest-possible versions, as of the date of packaging:
- EE, IOP & DVP toolchains
- Homebrew PS2SDK
- gsKit
- ps2sdk-ports: libjpeg, libpng, zlib & freetype
- ps2-client
- ps2-packer lite
- MinGW + MSYS: version 2012/04/26. Includes only the C compiler, MinGW & MSYS system.
What's not included?
- Git: there is a proper Windows version, which you can install easily.
- wget: I could not find an up-to-date version. Not needed anyway, unless you use the toolchain scripts.
Additional notes
When the toolchain was built, I worked around the incompatibility between the old
Binutils Autoconf script and MinGW's stdint.h file by appending the contents of stdint.h to sys/types.h.
I have restored sys/types.h to its original contents while creating this pre-built package.
In the future, I plan to improve on the current toolchain patches to allow MinGW to build the toolchains properly.
Upgrading
The toolchain does not change much, so only the libraries may need to be updated regularly. There will not be regular releases for ps2toolchain.
Please follow the instructions from the respective libraries, for updating.
