Introduction

This tutorial will guide you on how to setup a working development environment for compiling the PRO CFW sourcecode on Ubuntu Linux.

It requires you to have basic knowledge on how to handle a bash terminal.

Setting up the PSPSDK

Due to problems with the PSPSDK subversion repository, this tutorial will explain an alternative and easier route on how to setup a minimalistic PSPSDK for compiling the PRO CFW.

  1. Grab the Ubuntu .deb Package for your CPU-architecture from the MinPSPW Sourceforge Page.
  2. Open a bash terminal and issue the following commands. * cd Downloads * sudo dpkg -i minpspw.deb * cd * gedit .profile
    • Add the following lines to the bottom of the file, then save and close it.
    • export PATH=$PATH:/opt/pspsdk/bin
    • export PSPSDK=/opt/pspsdk * sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev * sudo reboot
    • This will reboot your system, just log back into your user after it's done.
  3. Grab the latest PRO CFW sourcecode from the Mercurial Repository.
  4. Open a bash terminal and cd into the PRO CFW sourcecode folder, then issue the following commands. * cd contrib/PrxEncrypter/ * make * chmod +x PrxEncrypter * sudo mv PrxEncrypter /opt/pspsdk/bin/ * gedit build.mak
    • Search for...
      • /usr/local/pspdev/bin/PrxEncrypter
    • ... and replace it with...
      • PrxEncrypter
    • ... then save the file and close it. * sudo cp build.mak /opt/pspsdk/psp/sdk/lib/

Congratulations. You now have a KIRK signature compatible PSPSDK set up and are ready to compile PRO CFW.

Compiling PRO CFW

  1. Grab the latest PRO CFW sourcecode from the Mercurial Repository.
  2. Open a bash terminal and cd into the PRO CFW sourcecode folder, then issue the following commands. * make clean * make clean_lib * make build_lib * Depending on the PRO version you wish to build this final command can be...
    • make CONFIG_620=1
    • make CONFIG_635=1
    • make CONFIG_639=1

Congratulations. After waiting for the compilation process to finish, you should now have a newly created "dist" folder in your PRO CFW sourcecode directory, which contains ready to distribute PRO CFW installation executables.

Note: If you are building the most recent commits then you should pass NIGHTLY=1 to make also well. It's good for bug-tracking.
