How to Compile PS3 Apps in Linux

If you have installed a Linux operating system on your Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3), then you can also run homebrew Linux PS3 applications and games. As a Linux distribution, you will have to compile these applications before you can run them. To compile an application, you have to expand it, run the configuration, compile and then install. There are five standard commands to install any application from source on Linux.

Instructions

    • 1

      Click the Terminal icon in your Linux distribution on the PS3.

    • 2

      Type "tar -zxpf app.tar.gz" (without quotes). Replace "app.tar.gz" with the path and the file name of your application. Press "Enter." This expands the application.

    • 3

      Type "cd app" -- replacing "app" with the app name. Press "Enter." Type "./configure" and press "Enter."

    • 4

      Type "make" and press "Enter."

    • 5

      Type "make install" and press "Enter."
