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.
