PS3 Build

[humbertodias]

I've notice that ps3 build were made through SCons and python.
https://github.com/kazzmir/paintown/releases/download/v3.6.0/paintown-ps3-3.6.0.pkg
Should we keep that way or try something new?

if so, do you remember steps?

I was looking at ps3toolchain : https://github.com/ps3dev/ps3toolchain

You would need to build from the 3.6 source.
The instructions can be found under doc/ps3.
If it works/builds still is a wild guess though.

Allot of the mugen stuff was very preliminary and experimental in that release.

We should use meson to build. I doubt the ps3 stuff will work anymore. Maybe we could test it in an emulator or something if there are any good ones.

I have tested the release 3.6.0 on RPCS3 and it works well.

Makes sense. I'm gonna try to build the pkg using docker as a cross compiler such as you did previously with mingw

Thats cool that it works on RPCS3. The latest version of paintown now requires c++11 and threading support in gcc, so I'm not sure if the PS3 sdk PSL1ght supports that.

It's almost working https://github.com/kazzmir/paintown/actions/runs/7941175624/job/21683244586#step:3:1

I have created the container with embedded ps3toolchain and it comes with compiled sdl1.2. Now it's needed to add the sdl2 and other paintown dependencies. Teorically, after that we should to be ready to compile and package.

Once it's building and you are able to generate a pkg we should migrate the environment over from Scons to Meson.

Perfect. We already have a ps3 package from a simple c++ sdl2

./easy-compile-docker-ps3 && ./release/release-ps3

Ok got it to work. Had to change the files since the ones you uploaded were uppercase.

Also added an argument to allow for a different data directory.

Edit.
Though, the full data directory is put into the pkg. Is there a reason we get a red box? Doesn't that mean it can't find data?

Perfect! no problem.
Actually, the red box it's an example that I´m using instead of paintown project.
Because, I still didn't solve all dependencies on meson build.
Meanwhile, with this sample app. I have validated the ci/cd

Ah ok, now it makes sense.

Ah ok, now it makes sense.

The error occurred while attempting to compile yaml-cpp using psp-g++
Same for ps3-dev

How to reproduce

docker run --platform=linux/amd64 --rm -i -v `mktemp -d`:/source pspdev/pspdev:latest sh -s <<EOF
wget https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp/archive/refs/tags/0.8.0.tar.gz
tar xvfz 0.8.0.tar.gz
cd yaml-cpp-0.8.0
env
mkdir -p build 
cd build
cmake -Wno-dev -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/usr/local/pspdev/psp/share/pspdev.cmake \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/pspdev/psp -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF ..
make 
make install
EOF

Easy solution is to not include yaml. It's not required.
Make sure -DHAVE_YAML is not set.
