Rockbox

HOME_DIR is intended for not-so-advanced files which shall be user
visible, and thus not in /.rockbox. Therefore HOME_DIR is translated
to $HOME on RaaA, /sdcard on android, the internal memory on ypr0
and "/" on native targets.
ROCKBOX_DIR ("/.rockbox") already existed as special and is translated
to whatever the real rockbox dir is on the target (e.g. /sdcard/rockbox
on android), but it's not suitable for some files we generate
(e.g. battery-bench.txt).

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
