apps More consts that require no functional change. 2008-03-26 08:57:25 +00:00
backdrops Cabbiev2 theme: new menu backdrops for the 138x110x2 and the 160x128x2 screens - lighter and cleaner so reading text which goes across the logo is more readable. 2008-03-25 00:27:46 +00:00
bootloader Do core interrupt masking in a less general fashion and save some instructions to decrease size and speed things up a little bit. Small fix to a few places where interrupts would get enabled again where they shouldn't have been (context switching calls when disabled). 2008-03-26 01:50:41 +00:00
docs Re-instate the double newline in CREDITS. 2008-03-23 01:42:42 +00:00

fonts Commit FS#8626 by Frank Otto. Fixes character glitch in helvR10. 2008-03-04 18:16:02 +00:00
gdb move the ifp7xx usb serial driver files to more specific names, to make the "usb_serial" name available for more general usb class driver use 2008-03-02 18:16:24 +00:00
icons Small fix for the default colour icon set - the equalizer showed one pink line, use pure magic magenta there to make this line transparent. 2008-03-13 21:47:11 +00:00
manual Change line endings to unix and set svn props 2008-03-23 22:24:56 +00:00
rbutil Make sansapatcher and ipodpatcher compile on OS X 10.5. 2008-03-25 19:50:41 +00:00
tools Make checkwps compile again. Still more work is needed though, as checkwps is compiled to emulate an iPod Color - this needs changing to allow the LCD (and remote LCD) dimensions/depth to be specified on the commandline - the new %V tags are validated against the LCD characteristics 2008-03-25 21:09:58 +00:00
uisimulator Do core interrupt masking in a less general fashion and save some instructions to decrease size and speed things up a little bit. Small fix to a few places where interrupts would get enabled again where they shouldn't have been (context switching calls when disabled). 2008-03-26 01:50:41 +00:00
utils Oops, I should try compiling things before committing... 2008-02-23 20:50:26 +00:00
wps Cabbiev2 gigabeat background: reduce WPS backdrop filesize by storing it as 24 bit BMP instead of unnecessary 32 bit. (and only that this time). 2008-03-25 20:02:02 +00:00

Build Your Own Rockbox

1. Check out 'rockbox' from SVN (or extract a downloaded archive).

   $ svn co svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox/trunk rockbox

     or

   $ tar xjf rockbox.tar.bz2

2. Create a build directory, preferably in the same directory as the firmware/
   and apps/ directories. This is where all generated files will be written.

   $ cd rockbox
   $ mkdir build
   $ cd build

3. Make sure you have sh/arm/m68k-elf-gcc and siblings in the PATH. Make sure
   that you have 'perl' in your PATH too. Your gcc cross compiler needs to be
   a particular version depending on what player you are compiling for. These
   can be acquired with the rockboxdev.sh script in the /tools/ folder of the
   source, or will have been included if you've installed one of the
   toolchains or development environments provided at http://www.rockbox.org/

   $ which sh-elf-gcc
   $ which perl

4. 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 (and a
   few more questions). 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.

   $ ../tools/configure

5. *ploink*. Now you have got a Makefile generated for you.

6. Run 'make' and soon the necessary pieces from the firmware and the apps
   directories have been compiled, linked and scrambled for you.

   $ make
   $ make zip

7. unzip the rockbox.zip on your music player, reboot it and
   *smile*.

If you want to build for more than one target, just create several build
directories and create a setup for each target:

   $ mkdir build-fmrecorder
   $ cd build-fmrecorder
   $ ../tools/configure

   $ mkdir build-player
   $ cd build-player
   $ ../tools/configure
