apps	Add the raw battery voltage to the Nano2G battery debug screen	2010-03-10 03:18:58 +00:00
backdrops	Remove svn:executable	2009-12-11 14:50:57 +00:00
bootloader	Add more information to the battery debug screen for Nano2G	2010-02-17 15:57:53 +00:00
docs	remove 2 really old files. CustomWPS in the wiki replaces CUSTOM_WPS_FORMAT, and the manual has both lists also	2010-03-05 20:08:16 +00:00
firmware	Some Nano2G define corrections / updates	2010-03-10 03:19:56 +00:00
flash
fonts	13-Nimbus polish character set	2010-02-28 16:12:16 +00:00
gdb
icons
manual	Remove the caption and label parameters from the tagmap macro. They are never used. Also don't embed tagmaps into a table environment since we want the tables exactly where they are in the source, i.e. we don't want them to float. This speeds up typesetting and makes vertical spaces nicer.	2010-03-07 22:12:16 +00:00
rbutil	mkamsboot: Use audio master irq_enrd0 usb_status bit instead of gpio on C200V2	2010-03-09 16:29:38 +00:00
tools	Update rockboxdev.sh/configure for arm-elf-eabi-gcc 4.4.3 and binutils 2.20.1.	2010-03-08 14:49:10 +00:00
uisimulator	Sansa Clip+: simulator	2010-02-17 19:46:51 +00:00
utils	Pass width instead of x+width to ab_draw_markers()/cue_draw_markers() and don't recalculate the width in these functions.	2010-03-07 12:51:23 +00:00
wps	Fix wpsbuild to properly generate "-" for theme related settings (to get the default values/no file for filename settings).	2010-02-21 19:10:57 +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
