apps Crossfeed settings used to be stored inverted in the cfg file for legacy reasons, change that and kill some identical formatting functions while we're at it. NOTE TO CROSSFEED USERS: this will completely garble your crossfeed settings, write them down if you want to keep them. 2007-12-08 01:45:04 +00:00
bootloader * Make the Gigabeat S bootloader a bit more interesting: it looks for the first firmware file it finds on the second partition and attempts to load it. Loading fails to get past the splash screen though. 2007-11-27 15:40:29 +00:00
docs FS#8244 Update Czech translation by Martin Crkovsky and add it to credits. 2007-12-05 19:06:28 +00:00
firmware Make the "current line" value in the gradient style code zero-based, and an attempt at more understandable names and better comments. 2007-12-06 17:09:24 +00:00

rbutil rbutilqt: added support for rbspeex encoder as external executable. 2007-12-01 11:41:52 +00:00
tools Refactor rbspeexenc code to include an encode_file() function, for later reuse by other programs. Add some more error handling. 2007-12-05 12:27:38 +00:00
uisimulator Simulate the effects of sector caching a bit. Bypass I/O yield if a byte counter hasn't reached a certain threshold. Can be dialed-in by changing a #define. 2007-12-03 15:33:12 +00:00
utils Firmware update utility for the Gigabeat S and probably other MTP devices. Based on libmtp's sendfile.c example, tweaked by Maurus Cuelenaere and me to send firmware files. 2007-11-22 18:07:40 +00:00
wps Add greyscales to Rockboxed theme and mimic the color variant a bit more. 2007-09-29 19:05:30 +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
