beastpatcher - a tool for installing the Rockbox bootloader on the Gigabeat S
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unlike most other parts of the Rockbox project, this tool is
|
||
|
|
distributed under the BSD license. This is due to the fact that the
|
||
|
|
Windows version links with the Microsoft MTP library.
|
||

|
||
|
|
--------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For all versions, you need to copy a "bootloader.bin" file (containing
|
||
|
|
the Rockbox bootloader) into this directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This can be built from the Rockbox source by selecting "41" and then
|
||
|
|
"B" when running tools/configure.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You need the Rockbox toolchain to build any Rockbox target binaries -
|
||
|
|
this can be downloaded and built with the tools/rockboxdev.sh script.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The latest officially released bootloader can always be downloaded from:

Linux

|
|
|
||
|
|
The Unix versions requires libmtp, which in turn requires libusb.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
beastpatcher is built to statically link to these libraries and
|
||
|
|
expects them to exist as /usr/lib/libmtp.a and /usr/lib/libusb.a
|
||
|
|
respectively. Change the definition of LIBS in the Makefile if this
|
||
|
|
is not the case for your system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After this, just type "make" to get a

The OS X build is a universal binary statically linked with libusb and libmtp.

The MTP_DLL.dll requires VC2005 to compile - see instructions in

|

|
|
To compile beastpatcher itself, you can either cross-compile from
|
||
|
|
Linux using the mingw32 package, or compile in Cygwin. Just type
|
||
|
|
"make beastpatcher.exe" (in Linux) or "make" (in Cygwin).
