Post: Guide to Run PS4SDK on Windows by PS4 Developer Bad ChoicesZ

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hello NextGenUpdate, if you all missed it. Previously we had seen Black Panther's release on his PS4-SDK Installer Script which had some amazing stuff if I should say. Ton of great developers had some small conversations towards needing some resources. PS4 Developer Bad ChoicesZ had went along, and helped release a tutorial on how to run the PS4SDK (CTurts / PS4Dev) on Windows!

Bad ChoicesZ:

    you will have to edit the make-file to get it to work, easiest option is to just use linux ^_^.

or research binutils, gcc, makefiles and cross-compiling.



p.s

I did previously mention mingw might be better option, as I thought mingw would be easier than cygwin as cturt mentions it himself.

Although using msys2.exe and pacman is quite simple setting up:

pacman -S git python netcat make cmake binutils gcc llvm

you will basically hit the same problems with PE error, which requires you to fix the makefile and/or make changes to the source.
