Hi at all,
I installed Bennu and Context: when I compile ->
C: \ context \ hello world program.: Does not exist or is not compatible BCD version 7
any help, please?
First of all you must create a ".dcb" file with yor ".prg" sourcecode.
In a dos-console or in a terminal you must go to the directory of your ".prg" and execute the next two commands:
bgdc "yournameofsorucecode".prg
bgdi "yournameofsorucecode".dcb
Tanks for your reply. But I have to first experience with Bennu.
How do I create a BCD file?
bgdc creates (from prg file) the dcb file you must use with bgdi.
prg file->source code
dcb file->"bytecode" to execute by bgdi
I have this screen: you tell me how can I, please?

I don`t know how use those program.
Probably there are a run option in the project or tools menu.
But, may be that you can not have bgdc and bgdi programs in the windows path.
You need add to the windows path the next directories
If you are using bennupack
c:\devbennu\bin
If you ar using the official installation you need add more than one directories:
c:\bennu\bin
c:\bennu\externals
c:\bennu\lib
What kind of IDE do you use?
I downloaded it and then helps me to set it?
I don`t understood your second affirmative or question. :(
For the first answer, I do not use any IDE, I use pspad to edit .prg files and after the command programs "bgdc" and "bgdi" to create ".dcb" files and execute it. There is a pluggin file for pspad to call to bgdc and bgdi automaticaly but I don't generally use it.
But there is a good IDE called flamebird that appears similar to your IDE.
Maybe you need the BennuPack:
Bennupack.blogspot.com
;)
Flamebir work,tnk.
now I want to compile for the Wiz. I downloaded "Wiz GP2X version" but I do not understand how to compile.
Does anyone know how?
Tnk1000.
WIZ version has his own bgdc and bgdi.
Have you seen the two examples includes? you must do the same:
1- Unzip Bennu WIZ in your SD
2- Have you seen Galaxian and Pacman directories? create your own folder.
3- Copy your code files and all other files you use (FPGs, FNTs, OGGs, WAVs...).
4- Copy the bgd-galaxian.gpe (from bgd-galaxian folder) to your folder. Rename it as you wish (but gpe extension).
You are done. Now go to browser icon and search for your .gpe, with it, bennu will compile and run your prg.
Maybe you want to do an ini file for watch it in "game" menu, but i don't know how to do it. Or maybe you don't want to share your prg, so you must open your gpe with an unix compatible text editor (notepad++, for example) and change it. I'm sure you can understand it ;)
The compilling in wiz is not needed, or at least it should not be.
The same .dcb obtainen in a windows or linux SO should be compatible with the bgdi program of wiz so, it said in words for newbies, you only need pass to the wiz the bgd-runtimes files, your resources files, you ".dcb" file and a script file ".gpe" that sais to the wiz how to run your .dcb with the bgd-runtimes files.
I could not understand, unfortunately. I can not compile.
There is written a tutorial to set Bennu for wiz?
or where I can find who wrote the Bennu?
Have you follow the steps i said to you? When failed the compilation?
Or else, DCelso give you another method better than mine (compile in your PC and copy to WIZ). DCB is your binary file, and you can use it in every platform, but you will need the BGDI of this platform, and must be THE SAME VERSION AS BGDC (this is why i told you to compile directly on WIZ).
Be carefull, there is a GP2X WIZ version of Bennu (the same of main page) and a GP2X version. GP2X and GP2X WIZ aren't the same handheld.
SplinterGU was the one who wrote Bennu, and he's in this forum.
Getting Started:
http://www.bennugd.org/?q=node/2
This is the page but there only the version for the Wiz? right?
I download this --> bgd-1.0.0RC11(r131)-openwiz.tar: it correct?
This ie only for wiz.
Yes, this is WIZ version.
So, first, you must unzip on your SD, maybe you want to do it on Game folder.
Hi,
I tried to compile with Bennu for Win and it works ... but I can not create a test.exe. How do I?
You can't. You can generate a .DCB file. Then, you can run it with GBDI.exe (for windows) or BGDI (for other platforms).
But, BGDI must be for the target platform, in this case, the BGDI WIZ version you had downloaded before.
Just type "BGDI yourgame.dcb", or make a .GPE file with this command (and those who launch WIZ menu later). As I said before (a lot of times), see .GPE examples in WIZ pakage.
Thanks for the explanation. I was very helpful.
1# With an IDE cè the opportunity 'to create an exe?
2# I would first program for the GP2X but I do not know where to find Bennu for GP2X.
Here http://www.bennugd.org/?q=node/2 only for the WIZ...but i dont see GP2...
>>As I said before (a lot of times), see .GPE examples in WIZ pakage.
Yes, i see the example. but I have trouble understanding these examples :o(
In bgd-1.0.0RC11(r131)-openwiz-->bgd-runtime i found BGDI, not BGDI.exe.
I writing BDGI. TEST.dcb....GPE is not created .
Tnk1000
No, an IDE don't create any exe, because EXE only works on Windows. An iDE can generate the DCB using a button on it (an highlight with colours the languaje reserved words, and more), and optionaly can run your game to test it, but basically they use BGDC.exe and BGDI.exe at the same as you with command window.
The GP2X port of Bennu is not an official release, it's just a try by someone ;D
you can find it on http://www.fenixworld.com/e107_plugins//depot/files/fw75.bennugp2x.zip
But it only works on Open2X firmware. We are waiting for an update who can solve this trouble.
GP2X and WIZ uses a Linux OS, so exes don't exists as you know. In this case, BGDI and BGDC don't have any extension, so you must write:
BDGC TEST.prg
to get a DCB, and
BDGI TEST.dcb to run it (if there aren't errors).
The .GPE must be written by you, using a text editor with Unix format (any of Linux distributions, or notepad++ for windows).
You must write this:
#!/bin/sh
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:../bgd-runtime
PATH=$PATH:../bgd-runtime
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH
echo 2 > /proc/cpu/alignment
bgdc test.prg
bgdi test.dcb
cd /usr/gp2x
exec /usr/gp2x/gp2xmenu
But if you wanna see the logs and errors must write:
#!/bin/sh
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:../bgd-runtime
PATH=$PATH:../bgd-runtime
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH
echo 2 > /proc/cpu/alignment
bgdc test.prg >log1.txt 2>err1.txt
bgdi test.dcb >log2.txt 2>err2.txt
cd /usr/gp2x
exec /usr/gp2x/gp2xmenu
Be carefull: BGDC is not the same as bgdc, uppercase letters are distinct from lowercase letters.
>But it only works on Open2X firmware. We are waiting for an update who can solve this trouble.
Yes, in fact pac for gp2x does not work. Back to the menu 'and exit.
>don't have any extension, so you must write:
BDGC TEST.prg
to get a DCB, and
I am in: fw75.bennugp2x-->bgd-runtime.
Do: Start-> Run then write BDGC TEST.prg but open the window asking me what program to open BDGC ...
you need to add to your path the directory where you have the bgdc binary.
Some like this
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:../bgd-runtime
PATH=$PATH:../bgd-runtime
Or may be that in your bgd-runtime directory don't have "bgdc" program, because is not a mandatory program to run games in gp2x.
in effects, in my directory
fw75.bennugp2x-->bgd-runtime
I have these program:
bdcg------no.EXE
bdci------no.EXE
and lib "mod_sound.so" ecc.ecc.
Sorry, I need more information for help you.
I will need all your SD structure directory. ie
/
|
+--bgd-runtime
| |
| +- bgdc
| bgdi
| ...
| mod_sound.so
| ...
|
+--my_game
|
+ -- my_recourses_directory
| |
| +-- my_image.png
|
+-- my_game.dcb
|
+-- my_game.prg
|
+-- my_game.gpe
....
I will need the information of your script tu run your application (normally called like your application but ending in ".gpe") ie my_game.gpe.
#!/bin/sh
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:../bgd-runtime
PATH=$PATH:../bgd-runtime
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH
echo 2 > /proc/cpu/alignment
bgdc my_game.prg
bgdi my_game.dcb
cd /usr/gp2x
exec /usr/gp2x/gp2xmenu
One thing I did not understand:
+ - My_game.dcb: how do I do this dcb?
In the version for winxp --> BGDC.EXE ==. DCB(winxp)
,,, but for GP2, in my directory there bgdc but no extension.exe: then as I do this dcb?
Tnk1000 for all help me.
Are you using enexfi? just use the browser (down center blue icon) and look for your .gpe.
In the GPE you got the line: bgdc yourgame.prg
This line generate your DCB, as same as windows (but in windows, BGDC got BGDC.EXE name, but it's the same). As i said before, LINUX DON'T HAVE EXEs, HAVE BINARY FILES to execute programs, without extensions.

>Are you using enexfi?
I do not know what it is.
Yet again Tnk1000
Enexfi is an utility for browse and execute aplications in GP2X. It has an orange background.
That's your problem: in your GPE you are lokking for runtime on ../bgd-runtime (it means, go up one folder and enter on another file called bgd-runtime), but you got your runtime on ../
So there are two solutions:
-Change your GPE to
#!/bin/sh
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:../
PATH=$PATH:../
-Change the files location: bgd-runtime and my_game files must be in same file:
SD_drive
|
|-BBB
|-bgd-runtime
|-my_game
But bgdc, bgdi and al .so must be only on bgd-runtime folder. If you do that, you can play any bennu game without copiying al bennu files in every game, just like that:
SD_drive
|
|-BBB
|-bgd-runtime
|-my_game1
|-my_game2
|-my_game3
|-my_game4
NOTE: use ONLY ONE of this two solutions, don't use both at same tiem or it don't works :D :D :D
Equinox, you should do the drumpi second solution better.
1.- You need create a directoy called "my_game" in the root of your SD.
2.- You need move to this directory my_game.prg and my_game.dcb
3.- You need move the rest of files to the directory bgd-runtime
4.- You can remove the directory called j:\bgd-runtime\my_game because it is not neccesary now.
Finally you will get the next structure in your SD.
Disco rimovibile (J:)\
|
+--BBB
|
+--bgd-runtime
| |
| +- bgdc
| bgdi
| ...
| mod_sound.so
| ...
|
+--my_game
|
+-- my_game.gpe
+-- my_game.prg
Disco rimovibile(j) == SD my GP2XF200
In summary:
I created the directory bgd-runtime. Inside there are only libraries. SO

the other 3 files are all empty - no written
ah,oh,eh.
Your problem is that you don't have in your gp2x the open2x firmware.
This problem was said for Drumpi.
so I can not compile anything. There is no solution?
Yes, update your gp2x to open2xfirmware.
But I don't help you with this task, sure that Drumpi can.
So, the PM was about installing Open2X? I think you was talking about installing Bennu for GP2X.
To install Open2X you must first download it from GP2x scene webs (http://www.gp32x.com or http://www.gp32spain.com, the lastest betas are on:
http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/47311-open2x-dr7-for-f100-and-f200/
Or just look for on his download section for the previous release, who it's i'm using.
His instalation is easy to do: you only need a small SD (about 256MB, 512MB or 1GB SD, not SDHC) recently formatted to FAT32, fully charged batteries (or 220v adapter) and follow STEP BY STEP the readme file. If you do it, it will works fine.
You can install then the official firm again if you don't like. But be carefull to don't mistake versions (F100 or F200).
For more information, you can go to gp32x.com and ask him.
I hope we can get a new version with official firm compatibility soon :(
Tnk1000 for help.
Where can I find the original FW?
my: gp2x f200 (B)
Same sites ;)
But be carefull, GP2X F200 needs an especific official firm, otherwise... :S
So, read CAREFULLY all posts and instructions if you want to install an official firm.
GP2X firms aren't the same as PSP or NDS firms: lastest aren't bests, and not necesary works betters.
But why do you want the official firmware?
Does your gp2x go without firmware actually?
work well
But if I'm wrong ,I wish go back to the original FW.
Tnk1000.
and dont you want do a backup of your current firmware¿
Oh...is possible do a backup of MY current firmware ?
I did not know you could do?
you know how?
