Need help setting up SDK (Macbook Sonoma)

[Jtgladden]

Hi! I have been interested in compiling code that would run on a PS2 for a few years now, but I had previously given up. The past few days my dreams have been rekindled and I've found this article that explains how to install the SDK on a Mac. I've used this as well as the instruction on this repository and so far I'm getting the following error:

configure: error: Building GCC requires GMP 4.2+, MPFR 3.1.0+ and MPC 0.8.0+.
Try the --with-gmp, --with-mpfr and/or --with-mpc options to specify
their locations.  Source code for these libraries can be found at
their respective hosting sites as well as at
https://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure/.  See also
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html for additional info.  If
you obtained GMP, MPFR and/or MPC from a vendor distribution package,
make sure that you have installed both the libraries and the header
files.  They may be located in separate packages.
../scripts/002-gcc-stage1.sh: Failed.
../scripts/002-iop.sh: Failed.

I'm sure this won't be the last problem I run into but if anybody with more experience could help I'm looking to learn more about every aspect involved with installing this SDK.

I don't know a ton about how terminals work. I followed a tutorial to configure iTerm2 but I honestly didn't understand a ton of it. I've put the following in ~/.zprofiles (presumably so it will run every time I open the terminal?) but I'm not sure if I've done that correctly

export PATH=$PATH:$PS2DEV/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$PS2DEV/ee/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$PS2DEV/iop/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$PS2DEV/dvp/bin
export PS2SDK=$PS2DEV/ps2sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$PS2SDK/bin

Thanks in advance :)

It's best if you use https://github.com/ps2dev/ps2dev and follow compilation.yml Specifically Install macOS packages and Runs all the stages in the shell.

So is there a work-around or can I just not build it?

[7dog123]

Yeah downgrade back to python3.12

So it seems to have finished building but when I try and compile a sample I get the following error:

I read a few issues about this here but it's all going over my head. Any suggestions?

[7dog123]

Sorry man. I don't know anything about that.

@Jtgladden cpp sample is broken, you can see that it is commented here:

ps2sdk/samples/Makefile_sample

Line 18 in 4c0214b

#SUBDIRS += erl/cpp-hello #TODO: missing /ps2sdk/ee/lib/libc.erl

if you want to test sample just type make sample within sdk directory
