| If you are going to compile your sources so you
can run them on your Dreamcast, you will need to download the so-called
devkit. First of all, lets get the SH4 and ARM compilers. You should use the
following, as it is very organized, up-to-date (built around march of 02),
and it's works perfectly. http://creezvosjeux.online.fr/dreamcast/gcc/ Download all the files, run the .bat file and you are left with one sfx archive (dont extract yet). If you go to http://uhltran.online.fr/dreamcast/cygwin, that has everything you need if you don't want to mess with the cygwin installer thingie. I didn't use this, I downloaded the full cygwin thing which is like 400 MB's. Now it is just a simple matter of installing cygwin, and installing the tools. Install cygwin in the folder C:\cygwin or D:\cygwin, it doesn't much matter as long as it is in a root folder. Then extract that SH4/ARM-stuff you downloaded to C:\cygwin\usr\local\dc, so now you have C:\cygwin\usr\local\dc\sh-elf and another folder beside that one called C:\cygwin\usr\local\dc\arm-elf. Get KOS at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23791&release_id=102436 (get the ones labeled kos-1.1.8-dc-bin.tar.gz and kos-1.1.8-manual.tar.gz). Extract by typing tar zxf kos-1.1.8.tar.gz in cygwin at the directory you put it. Install the prebuilt KOS in like C:\cygwin\usr\local\dc\kos and put this file in the kos directory (delete the .txt extension and just leave that blank). Now it should be like C:\cygwin\usr\local\dc\kos\bin, NOT the C:\cygwin\usr\local\dc\kos\kos-1.1.8\bin Go to your C:\cygwin\etc\profile file. Add a last line like . /usr/local/dc/kos/environ-dc.sh and, remember, it's .<space>/ The last 3 lines should look like: $ ' . /usr/local/dc/kos/environ-dc.sh This will autoload your environ file whenever you start cygwin Add a cd "/usr/local/dc/kos" after that, if you wish to start at kos's main dir Then the last 4 lines should look like: $ ' . /usr/local/dc/kos/environ-dc.sh cd "/usr/local/dc/kos/" |
