gdb Renamed 'archos' to 'modelname' in the configure script and the Makefiles 2008-01-23 10:59:17 +00:00
icons Turned out that setting the viewer iconset to empty properly chooses the default iconset, and the problem with the default viewer iconset on greyscale targets was that there was a file too much in icons/. The defaults are copied from elsewhere, and differ between grey/mono and colour targets. The extraneous file overwrote the default when building the .zip. 2008-02-23 22:54:33 +00:00

uisimulator Driver for the Synaptics touchpad on the m:robe 100 based on the 3-wire interface spec. Needs some tweaking as it's too sensitive with the default hardware settings. For now, the vertical strip is divided into up/select/down buttons. Also, redo the keymap (using the Gigabeat as a starting point), but it still needs a good bit of work. 2008-02-24 04:12:16 +00:00
utils Oops, I should try compiling things before committing... 2008-02-23 20:50:26 +00:00
wps Forgot to adjust one WPS. 2008-02-24 09:33:37 +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
