Building

A visual studio project has been included for building on Windows. On Linux, a makefile has been included.

To build this project, the developer will need clang, which is provided in the toolchain. The OO_PS4_TOOLCHAIN environment variable will also need to be set to the root directory of the SDK installation.

Windows Open the Visual Studio project and build, or run the batch file from command prompt or powershell with the following command:

.\build.bat .\x64\Debug "hello_world" "%OO_PS4_TOOLCHAIN%\\samples\\hello_world"

Linux Run the makefile.

make
