separate builds to download. The iPod video build has been
available as a unified build for some time now.

bootloader MPIO HD200, HD300: Make USB bridge handling more correct (this doesn't solve problems with USB inside rockbox on HD300 unfortunately). 2010-12-09 11:31:08 +00:00
docs Add stdio.h include for SEEK_SET define to various files. 2010-12-25 18:43:34 +00:00
firmware Make mutexes a tiny bit leaner. There is no need for a separate locked semaphore since having an owning thread also indicates that it is locked. Rename member 'count' to 'recursion' since it counts reentry, not locks. Change presents no compatibility issues for plugins or codecs because the structure size goes down. 2010-12-26 05:59:39 +00:00
flash Move memset6() declaration to string-extra.h, kills a warning compiling for android since it ships a memory.h. 2010-08-12 13:55:01 +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
