Allows to run the PSY-Q toolchain to build PlayStation 1 games from their source code using Docker.
Just invoke docker run --rm -w /work -v ${PWD}:/work xeeynamo/psyq:4.6 wine /app/NAME_OF_THE_TOOL.
By doing -w /work -v ${PWD}:/work you ensure that the tool will have visibility of the current working directory and all its content with read and write access.
You can also easily use it in a Makefile by doing the following:
PSYQVER := 4.6
PSYQ := docker run --rm -w /work -v ${PWD}:/work xeeynamo/psyq:$(PSYQVER) wineconsole
AS := $(PSYQ) /app/ASPSX.EXE
CC := $(PSYQ) /app/CC1PSX.EXE
%.o: %c
$(CC) $(CC_FLAGS) -o $@.s $<
$(AS) $(AS_FLAGS) -o $@ $@.s
Also mount /app/lib and /app/include to expose your custom PSY-Q libraries.
The following versions of PSY-Q are supported:
- PSY-Q 2.6
- PSY-Q 3.0
- PSY-Q 3.3
- PSY-Q 3.5
- PSY-Q 3.6
- PSY-Q 4.0
- PSY-Q 4.1
- PSY-Q 4.3
- PSY-Q 4.6
While the following tools are included within the image:
- ASMPSX
- ASPSX
- CC1PLPSX (starting from 3.6)
- CC1PSX (starting from 3.6)
- CCPSX
- CPLUSPSX (starting from 3.6)
- CPPPSX (starting from 3.6)
- PSYLIB
- PSYLINK
- PSYMAKE
PSY-Q up to version 3.6 uses compilers built for MS-DOS. Therefore the toolchain behaviour will differenciate compared to PSY-Q 4.x.
PSY-Q is an ancient toolchain built around 1996 and it was created to run on the 32-bit versions of Windows (eg. Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0). As we are moving in a cross-platform world, me and other people needs a solution where the toolchain can run on Linux and GitHub Actions, without bothering to install Wine. By providing a Docker Image with the various versions of PSY-Q inside, it will be possible to run the toolchain within seconds and without any set-up involved. Including on the modern versions of Windows.
Thanks to mkst to providing me the tools and to give me insights on how to use the PSY-Q toolchain.
