Visual Studio cross platform makefile project, command not found

I'm trying to build a cross platform project for Ubuntu. In my makefile I have the line

"PSPSDK=$(shell psp-config --pspsdk-path)"

which gives the error "psp-config: Command not found."

psp-config is in my path and running make from the Ubuntu system on the files that get copied over from Visual Studio works fine. It also works if I manually ssh into the Ubuntu system from windows and run the command from there.

Why can't it find the command when run through Visual Studio?

You should update PATH at the beginning of "~/.bashrc" file (and not at the end) because it starts with somethign like:

# If not running interactively, don't do anything
case $- in
    *i*) ;;
    *) return;;
esac

Also, if you add code before these lines, it will be invoked for every subshell execution, so it is better to add a guard for it as well so it is invoked only once per session:

if [ -z $HOME_OPT_PATH_SET ]; then
    export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/opt
    export HOME_OPT_PATH_SET=1
fi

# If not running interactively, don't do anything
...
