PS4 homebrew build template (OpenOrbis)

Reusable build. Put your code in src/, push, and GitHub Actions produces the .pkg. Package identity (name / title id / icon) is fixed and reused across builds.

Use it

1. Edit the identity block at the top of Makefile once:
   • TITLE (menu name), TITLE_ID (e.g. BREW00001), CONTENT_ID, VERSION.
   • Replace sce_sys/icon0.png (512x512) with your icon.
2. Drop sources into src/ — every .c, .cpp, .s there is compiled and linked automatically. To add libraries, append to LIBS in the Makefile.
3. Commit + push. The build workflow runs, and the .pkg + eboot.bin are in the run's Artifacts.

That's it — to make a new homebrew, swap the files in src/; name/icon stay the same.

libc + FIOS2

Both are linked by default (-lc -lSceFios2, plus the usual -lkernel -lc++ -lSceLibcInternal). The PS4 resolves the real libc.prx / libSceFios2.prx from the system at load. crt1.o (OpenOrbis) does the libc init, so malloc/printf/etc. work.

Bundling the two PRX (optional)

The jailbroken PS4 already provides libc.prx and libSceFios2.prx, so you normally don't ship them. If you specifically want them inside the package, drop the files into sce_module/ — anything there is added to the pkg automatically.

Local build (Linux/WSL with the toolchain)

export OO_PS4_TOOLCHAIN=/path/to/OpenOrbis-PS4-Toolchain
make            # -> <CONTENT_ID>.pkg + eboot.bin
make clean

CI pins toolchain v0.5.4 (LLVM 18); bump the version in .github/workflows/build.yml if needed.

Notes

• sce_sys/about/right.sprx is staged from the toolchain by CI. For local builds, copy it in yourself (it ships with the OpenOrbis toolchain).
• PkgTool.Core needs libicu (CI installs it).
