Compiling release builds for PSP​

  1. Navigate to the directory containing the Makefile and build

    This is easiest using Docker so you don't have to install the entire PSP SDK on your machine:

    docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/build" bmaupin/pspdev:gcc-4.6.4 sh -c "make clean && make -j3"

Compiling debug builds for PSP​

To compile software for debugging with PSPLink:

  1. In addition to the .elf file (which should normally be built), you need to build a .prx file

    1. At the top of the Makefile, add this:

      BUILD_PRX = 1

  2. As is typical when compiling debug builds for other platforms, you'll need to use the proper compile parameters

    • Include debugging information (-g)
    • Don't optimize (-O0)

    Often, you can just set DEBUG=1 and it will automatically set any necessary debugging parameters for you

  3. Depending on your PSP firmware version, don't set -DFW15

  4. Navigate to the directory containing the Makefile and build

    This is easiest using Docker so you don't have to install the entire PSP SDK on your machine:

    docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/build" bmaupin/pspdev:gcc-4.6.4 sh -c "make clean && make -j3 DEBUG=1"
