Help with DreamSDK

Post by trueno712 »

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to set up my DreamSDK but am running into a few problems. My main goal at the moment is to install all the KallistiOS Ports so I can then try to run the example projects included with the package. I've managed to install most of the ports, but some of them refuse to install, which I think has to do with my environment not being set up correctly.

So far I've managed to install Subversion, but despite having both Python 3.13 and 2.7 installed on my computer, Python is not being recognized by the Environment tab in DreamSDK.

In addition to that, the KallistiOS tab says that KallistiOS is "not installed", but when I press the update button it says "Everything was successfully updated."

Would really appreciate any help on this - I'm really excited to get started on my first Dreamcast game. Thanks in advance!

Did you change anything in the kos-ports directory? It looks like kos-ports/config.mk and kos-ports/scripts/build.mk were altered?

Side note, there was a bug in the toolchain setup in DreamSDK that was just fixed, I'm not sure if you're seeing a result of that. You may want to reinstall it.

There's going to be a major R4 release coming very very soon as well.
It's thinking...

Im having the same issues with the "KallistiOS not installed" on a fresh installation - is there a rough ETA on when R4 is coming ? (Days, Weeks, Months) So i can see if i should even try fixing it or just waiting for the update

I don't remember messing around in there, but it's possible.

Ahh, good to know. I actually think I'll work on setting up KallistiOS on an Ubuntu VM until then. Thanks for the info.
