Check out 'firmware' and 'apps' from CVS (or possibly form a downloaded + archive). You probably want to check out 'tools' too (to get the configure + script if nothing else) and possibly the 'uisimulator' too (for trying out + things on host before making target tests). + +2. Create your own build directory. This is where all generated files will be + put. + +3. In your build directory, run the 'tools/configure' script and enter what + target you want to build for and if you want a debug version or not. It'll + prompt you. The debug version is for making a gdb version out of it. It is + only useful if you run gdb towards your target Archos. + +4. *ploink*. Now you have got a Makefile generated for you. Run 'make' and + soon the necessary pieces from the firmware and the apps directories have + been compiled and linked. + +5. Copy the archos.mod file to your archos, reboot it and *smile*. + +Whenever the tools/configure script gets updated, you can make your makefile +updated too by running 'tools/configure update' + +If you want to build for more than one target, just create a new build +directory and create a setup for another target combination in there. + +Questions anyone? Take them to the mailing list. We'll be happy to help you +out!
