This program will automatically build and install a DVP compiler, which is used in the creation of homebrew software for the Sony PlayStation® 2 videogame system.
If you're trying to install in your machine the WHOLE PS2 Development Environment, this is NOT the repo to use! Instead, you should use instead the ps2dev repo.
These scripts download (with git clone
) and install binutils 2.14 (dvp).
- Install gcc/clang, make, patch, git, and texinfo if you don't have those packages.
- Ensure that you have enough permissions for managing PS2DEV location (which defaults to
/usr/local/ps2dev
). PS2DEV location MUST NOT have spaces or special characters in its path! For example, on Linux systems, you can set access for the current user by running commands:
export PS2DEV=/usr/local/ps2dev
sudo mkdir -p $PS2DEV
sudo chown -R $USER: $PS2DEV
- Add this to your login script (example:
~/.bash_profile
)
export PS2DEV=/usr/local/ps2dev
export PATH=$PATH:$PS2DEV/dvp/bin
- Run toolchain.sh
./toolchain.sh
