The psxdev-sdk package now includes a beta test version of my target library freelib-1.0. This library is just for fun and allows you to test certain PSXDEV features out-of-the-box. It allows you to test PSXDEV without the complicated installation of SDK files into the correct locations and without adaptation and configuration of text based Makefiles.

Linux kernel incompatibilities ? from Daniel Balster
Wednesday, Mar 15 @ 07:49 CET 2000
The linux kernel team is currently doing some necessary clean-ups, and this makes poorly programmed drivers incompatible. It seemed that PSXDEV's PCCL driver was one of that sort, but it has now been fixed. If you're upgrading to a kernel version 2.3.49 you also have to upgrade to release 6 of PSXDEV. Btw. the /proc filesystem code in the current "stable" linux kernel is an awful hack :-)
