apps Remove the ID3 tag version priority setting on the grounds of it being pretty pointless. ID3v2 tags are superior to ID3v1 tags, and needs less seeking around to find. 2007-09-19 10:40:55 +00:00

fonts Fix width of the '1' and the '7', so that they have the same width as the other numerals and e.g. playing time in the wps doesn't wobble anymore. 2007-08-11 09:29:31 +00:00

tools make the e200rinstaller bootloader.bin file be created in the ./ directory instead of ./bootloader/ 2007-09-15 12:30:17 +00:00
uisimulator UISIMULATOR: Trying to make it snappy for everyone. Remove forced thread yield in switch_thread which starves threads that call it alot especially on fast 64-bit machines (which could yield _alot_ of time away). I suspect that was a way to get I/O to run better before having an I/O thread...and it did help before that addition. No longer needed it seems and the OS seems to handle scheduling without hints just fine. 2007-09-13 21:40:56 +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*.

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 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
