Compile output problem

[masoudr]

Hi, I want to build your source for new version and extract the .skprx file from it. I tried to compile it with cmake . and the build process successfully finished, but I can't find the output file to put it in my vita. What I have to do next ? I'm using Windows 10 and PSDK3v3. Thanks.

You have to first run cmake (mkdir build && cd build && cmake ..) to generate the Makefile and then 'make' to compile it. What does PSDK3v3 have to do with it? You need vitasdk (https://github.com/vitasdk/autobuilds/releases).

As I said I'm using windows and the PSDK3v3 which is the Vita SDK tool for Windows version. I tried what you said and after using make it throw an error:

Is this error related to the version I am using? Actually, I'm not a Linux guy but how can I install the Vita SDK you mentioned? I would appreciate if you put a brief of installation method for this version on Ubuntu. Thanks.

[xerpi]

You are using an outdated version of VitaSDK. I didn't know about PSDK3v3 but I'd say uninstall it and install the latest official version (master-win-v369 as of now): https://github.com/vitasdk/autobuilds/releases

[masoudr]

I tried the new version but it throw an error about a missing dll file, then I installed the minigw-64 and it didn't even compile the code with cmake. I think I'm missing the VitaSDK dependencies. here is the error after using cmake":

I don't know what's going on there, but it seems like it's using nmake and that's weird. I don't use Windows. Not sure if you followed all the steps: https://vitasdk.org/

[masoudr]

Thanks for the answer. I tried the all steps in vitasdk.org. I tried to update the sdk and compiled again and then I got a new error about missing taihen.h file, then I head to taihen repo and tried to build it and when I wanted to build it gave the following error (I know that I should post this on its GitHub repo):

 cmake ..
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:38 (add_subdirectory):
  The source directory

    /usr/local/taiHEN/taihen-parser

  does not contain a CMakeLists.txt file.

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "/usr/local/taiHEN/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".

I'm trying to setup Ubuntu and test these procedures on that platform too.

[xerpi]

Try running git submodule update --init --recursive or use git clone --recursive.

[masoudr]

Thanks I finally compiled the taihen but how can I include it into the ds4vita ? still it gave me error about finding taihen.h ? which files of taihen build must be copied to which directory ? I tried to edit the main.c and include the taihen.h directory and then this error came up:

[xerpi]

Did you make install taiHEN?

[masoudr]

You were right I missed it. Thanks I solved the problem now I have the output file. Thank you very much.

[xerpi]

Cool, glad to hear that.
