-lSceAppInstUtil Compile Parameter Breaks Executable

[barisyild]

I am encountering an issue where the -lSceAppInstUtil compile parameter causes the executable to break during the build process. Below is a repository link that reproduces the issue.

Steps to Reproduce:

• Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/barisyild/ps5-payload-sdk-build-bug.git

• Navigate to the project directory and build the project:

cd ps5-payload-sdk-build-bug
make

• Observe that the executable does not work correctly when the -lSceAppInstUtil parameter is included in the Makefile.

Expected Behavior:

The build process should complete successfully, and the executable should work as expected when using the -lSceAppInstUtil parameter.

Actual Behavior:

The inclusion of the -lSceAppInstUtil parameter causes the build to fail or the executable to break, resulting in unexpected behavior.

Additional Information:

Link to the makefile
GitHub Actions build log

Environment:

Operating System: Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
Compiler Version: Ubuntu clang version 18.1.3 (1ubuntu1)
SDK Version: v0.27
Architecture: x86_64

I believe this issue is fixed with 6ddfee9. Please confirm.

Seems you need to explicitly link with -lSceIpmi

Seems you need to explicitly link with -lSceIpmi

Yes this solves the problem but is it possible to include it automatically or throw compile error?

[john-tornblom]

If there are additional libs that suffer from this issue, I will investigate potential solutions.
For now though, I will treat it as a bug in the official sony rtld code, and expect users of the SDK to link explicitly with libSceIpmi. However, I'll leave this github issue open for the time being.

I built AirPSX with -lSceIpmi but still build is broken.

You can find artifacts from here: https://github.com/barisyild/airpsx/actions/runs/13958658495

The github action you posted finishes successfully, so I don't understand what the problem is, is it failing when you run it?
Make sure you put -lSceIpmi before -lSceAppInstUtil in the CFLAGS, the order is important.

Changing order fixed my issue thanks.
