Here's a list of Dev Environments that can used to build projects for the PlayStation Classic

Docker

  • Requires Docker Desktop to be installed

mmc-crosscompiler

  • Mod My Classic's docker image

  • Has outdated packages list

  • glibc 2.24

  • Pull

docker pull modmyclassicdocker/mmc-crosscompiler
  • Start Image (This will create a new container)
docker run -it modmyclassicdocker/mmc-crosscompiler
  • Start a stopped container
docker start -i CONTAINER_ID_OR_NAME_HERE
  • While image is running how to switch build environment to PlayStation Classic (armhf)
. classic_set_env_psc_6

Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

  • Install Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

Run CMD as Administrator and enter this command:

wsl --install
  • Complete the install and restart you computer.
  • Open WSL and enter this command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
  • Install the following packages:
sudo apt install build-essential wget tar git libtool autoconf automake pkg-config make gdb-multiarch -y
  • Next download and extract an older arm-linux-gnueabihf release from Linaro
  • We'll use gcc-linaro-7.3.1-2018.05-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz as an example though it uses glibc 2.21 (so you might want to use a slightly later release)
wget https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/7.3-2018.05/arm-linux-gnueabihf/gcc-linaro-7.3.1-2018.05-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz
  • Next extract the toolchain:
tar -xvf gcc-linaro-7.3.1-2018.05-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz
  • Move the toolchain to /opt/
sudo mv gcc-linaro-7.3.1-2018.05-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf /opt/
  • Add the toolchain to your PATH
echo 'export PATH=/opt/gcc-linaro-7.3.1-2018.05-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
  • Reload the profile
source ~/.bashrc
  • Verify the toolchain
arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc --version
  • To use the toolchain you can do the following

Export manually (WSL)

export PATH=/opt/gcc-linaro-5.5.0-2017.10-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin:$PATH
export CC=arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc
export CXX=arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++
export AR=arm-linux-gnueabihf-ar
export AS=arm-linux-gnueabihf-as
export LD=arm-linux-gnueabihf-ld
export RANLIB=arm-linux-gnueabihf-ranlib
export STRIP=arm-linux-gnueabihf-strip
export NM=arm-linux-gnueabihf-nm
export OBJCOPY=arm-linux-gnueabihf-objcopy
export OBJDUMP=arm-linux-gnueabihf-objdump
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/lib/pkgconfig

Setup a script to load arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc (WSL)

  • Create script:
nano ~/arm-cross-compile-env.sh
  • Copy paste the following:
#!/bin/bash
# Set up environment for ARM cross-compilation
export PATH=/opt/gcc-linaro-5.5.0-2017.10-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin:$PATH
export CC=arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc
export CXX=arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++
export AR=arm-linux-gnueabihf-ar
export AS=arm-linux-gnueabihf-as
export LD=arm-linux-gnueabihf-ld
export RANLIB=arm-linux-gnueabihf-ranlib
export STRIP=arm-linux-gnueabihf-strip
export NM=arm-linux-gnueabihf-nm
export OBJCOPY=arm-linux-gnueabihf-objcopy
export OBJDUMP=arm-linux-gnueabihf-objdump
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabihf/lib/pkgconfig
  • Ctrl + X to save the script
  • Next make script executable:
chmod +x ~/arm-cross-compile-env.sh
  • Whenever you want to use the script:
source ~/arm-cross-compile-env.sh

Virtual Box

  • Needs Oracle VM VirtualBox

RK3326 Dev Environment

  • Image
  • Has arm32 chroot
  • glibc version 2.28 (May cause issues)
  • Simply start the arm32 chroot and start build.
  • Username/password
