GP2X Compiling With Gp2xsdk

[perishabl]

I downloaded GPH's GP2XSDK, unzipped it into a folder, and also downloaded a sample project that was linked either here or in GPH's dev forum. I'm able to compile individual files just fine, but when I try to compile the enter project, I get

Compiler: gp2x
Building Makefile: "G:\gp2xsdk\projects\hello_bmp\Makefile.gp2x
Executing make...
make.exe -f "G:\gp2xsdk\projects\hello_bmp\Makefile.gp2x all
cygwin-mkdir -p "gp2x"
	 3 [main] ? 1304 init_cheap: Couldn't reserve 3600336 bytes of space for cygwin's heap, Win32 error 487

make.exe: *** (all-before) Error - 1073741819

I've tried several other projects, and get the same error with all of them.

Anybody run into this before and been able to sort it out?

G:\GP2XSDK\bin\cygwin-mkdir.exe -p "gp2x"

Try that command on its own and see if it behaves (i.e. if it creates a directory called gp2x). Check that you have write access to the drive(s) and that you have space left (I'm guessing). Checkdisk the drive.

I don't think it's disk related -- I get the same error if I run cygwin-mkdir.exe from the commandline without any parameters at all.

This might be a bit late, but I had this exact same problem on my father's PC and I manager to resolve it, sort of. I don't actually know how to fix the problem, but you can work around it.

First of all, the problem lies solely with cygwin-mkdir.exe, the executable that is used to create the build directories before actually compiling your code. A normal call to Windows's 'mkdir' command would be a lot easier and less error-prone, so that's what we're going to do.

Go to your \GP2XSDK\bin directory and rename cygwin-mkdir.exe to cygwin-mkdir.exe.bak or something like that. Next, create a new text file in the same directory and rename it to cygwin-mkdir.bat. Open up this file and type in the following:

@echo off
if not exist %2 mkdir %2

Save and close, and now your projects should compile just fine.

Another, perhaps more elegant way would be to manually create your makefiles, avoiding the use of cygwin-mkdir, and delivering those to Dev-C++. But of course, that's not as convenient as letting Dev-C++ automatically generate your makefiles.

ey! Devil N very very thanks! i don´t understand why this fix that, but it runs
