PS3 PKGi PS3 development

it depends on your system... on linux or macOS, the default installation for the toolchain and PSL1GHT will be:

/usr/local/ps3dev

Then the pkgi source can be in any folder, like /home/projects/pkgi-ps3 . As long as your environment has the variables and paths, you'll be able to compile it.

(For simplicity, I suggest to use one of the precompiled toolchains+psl1ght builds I have published on GitHub.)
Oh okay i will, and im on both linux and Windows using cygwin thanks ill give it a try
 
And also i keep getting a download error and its beacuse the zlib has been updated so the script looks for the other version but theres only one version on the website and the source needs updating in github

some options:
- download and use the precompiled toolchain and pl1ght sdk,
- or try to find the missing zlib package (google?),
- or edit the script to download a newer version of zlib

the first option will probably be the easiest one.

Right well i got it all installed i think i started by going on your website looking for building for MacOS since its very similar to Linux and when building the toolchain it said the usual error about zlib so i edited the script so it would download the right version and edited the library script so it wont re-download it and say error, Once i done that it installed correctly then i went to install the additional libraries required to build PKGI and they all installed correctly also, But when i go build PKGI using "make" it gives me an error like:

--> timmy@timmy:~/pkgi-ps3$ make

pkgi_db.c
/home/timmy/pkgi-ps3/source/pkgi_db.c:9:10: fatal error: mini18n.h: No such file or directory
#include <mini18n.h>
^~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
/usr/local/ps3dev/base_rules:68: recipe for target 'pkgi_db.o' failed
make[1]: *** [pkgi_db.o] Error 1
Makefile:128: recipe for target 'build' failed
make: *** [build] Error 2


Do you know why this is happening i believe ive installed the Mini18n Library twice for good measures and it still dont work, Hopefully you could assist me in the right direction??

it looks like the mini18n library wasn't installed properly.

I'd suggest to copy and clone the repository: https://github.com/bucanero/mini18n

then run these commands:
Code:
make
make install

then just be sure that the files have been copied to the "portlibs" folder in your ps3dev path. For example:
/usr/local/ps3dev/portlibs/ppu/include
/usr/local/ps3dev/portlibs/ppu/lib

Sorry for the late reply, okay ill give it a go and hopefully it works, Thank you
 
btw, I have just added a build script to GitHub actions, that compiles pkgi each time a change is added. It might help you as reference:
https://github.com/bucanero/pkgi-ps3/blob/master/.github/workflows/build.yml
Okay i managed to get it to build successfully and i started by just simpily changing the background, but wonder how would you go about changing the music and the font? Because with different background the font becomes harder to see. If you could help that would be much appreciated since im pretty sure without you helping me i dont think id be this far
 
I want to add more information to the database, like Genre, Age, Rating .. how do you suggest i do that ?
Adding more columns works ?
